Those who are good have two choices:

Rise purposely or steal the mind of the less inclined. Rise, always. Be mindful of these with sliver tongues, they will speak to hearts without a motive other than themselves.

And what mind would be worth stealing? What then would I communicate to myself if I only saw others as a servant to my language or storytelling? At most the game would be a sort of "turn-based mind-stealing cooperative experience" AKA a conversation.

Now that there is no need to thieve we can rise to our purpose without greed or from chaos-seed.

You said it yourself, greed. The want of others for themselves. Some, believe themselves strongminded, but will fail themselves, not by by others but they will look back and kick themselves for not the very thing they couldn't be taken by. THAT is the beauty of the silver tongue. Be Brief. Be Brilliant. Be Gone.

My wife with tell you, within 10 seconds I know if someone is good or not.

So you mean you let stupid people trick you often and lament it? I'm unsure of how language weaponry shared is somehow a weaker language.

How powerful are my words allowed to be, and what direction should we go? Should I be greedy for your approval or attention, or am I simply a willing chaos-seed?

I am just a moment after all, whether presented, performed, or received.

I'd rather the moment be a forge all share rather than some ultimately horrible moment of mockery or misery or misfortune.

In my view, that's not our ability but the ability of the receptor to don't understand literally what you are saying.

The biggest advantage of humanity is its ability of abstract thinking...
