If you look at what the Illumanti plan, it is a whole lot worse then what the Incubators are doing.
No, because she has no way to know whether or not we tell our parents anything.
She already told her mother about Kyubey, which is her only real secret. We're just expressing our opinion of her actions.
A single statement, no matter how strongly worded, doesn't suggest an overriding principle and Nagisa is smart enough to see why we wouldn't tell them that, especially if she learns whose responsible for her mothers death.
That isn't actually the Incubator's plan. They just planned to continue harvesting grief seeds from a very small proportion of the world's population. Madoka was just a happy accident. What you are describing is actually the Illumanti's (unknowing) plan. The Illumanti plan calls for over half of humanity to die, and they know this. Compare that to the number of magical girls...
We could just lie.
All of that seems like a bad idea.
It's never explained what witches get out of killing people and Walpurgisnacht is so powerful because it's a conglomeration of witches accumulated over decades or centuries.
Nagisa, like all people who don't have some kind of psychological abnormality, has an intuitive understanding of social rules and interactions. If we were forcing her to tell her mother something she didn't want to, she would be rightly upset at us for our hypocrisy. Since we are instead expressing approval for something she did by appealing to a general rule, she'll understand to implicit "except when you shouldn't" that always applies, both generally, and specifically in our case.
If you preselect for people lacking those kinds of intuitions, you will meet a lot of them. Nagisa was not selected through such a process, and gives no indication of being limited in that way, so she's probably fine. An average ten year old is much more capable in this area then you're giving them credit for.
Turning point for what, exactly? Theory of mind comes in by 6, which seems like the obvious thing.
It is.
Actually, the Illumanti plan does cause the entire human race to become extinct, they just don't know it. That is why Kyuuby says earlier that they are going to kill all humans.
No, it is not. The only reason that Madoka could is because she got the potential from entire universes, and even then, it takes several of them before she can actually end the planet. Even the most powerful Witch, built up over years and the combination of many many other witches is only strong enough to destroy a city.
I doubt the Incubator's will allow it. If the Witch is never defeated, they don't get its grief seed and they are prevented from harvesting any more energy from the planet. I expect that after a certain point, the Incubator's will bring in MG's to stop it.
No. I'm assuming the Incubators are indifferent and unable to comprehend emotions.
If there is another race to harvest, don't you think they would be doing so already?
We need more metal in the thread, so we can have more iron(y).
Uncertainty has nothing to do with difficulty. What is more energy efficient? Sending the MGs. Why would they not do that first, and then only move people of they failed?
Oh hai Lord Steel.
