freudian slip. you refer to your people as nothing more than shephards in your head cause quite frankly. thats what you are. no offense to those philosophers but if i was living over 2000 years ago i would have come up with shit like "everything nature has a purpose" as well. they were just early lmao.

yes thats true. thats also precisely why nothing much came out of philosophy in over 100 years. everything has already been said.

>but they meet Tzimisce the shepherd and Vlachos the cobbler instead
