ceej: getting the feeling we made a mistake installing a philosopher-king. he locks himself in his tower and only comes out to say shit like, “I cannot disprove the idea that I am but a brain in a jar?” wow holy shit man, that’s crazy. did you have any ideas about the fucking grain shortage

Less brains more grains

Hari Seldon get fucked

many people are saying this

they are damn right too

but the philosophers argued so convincingly that they were best suited to govern, idk what went wrong

Well, less "argued so convincingly" and more "did not shut up until everyone nodded politely"

Depends on what you mean by ‘shortage’.

this fucking guy

new concept: farmer-king

Dumuzi, Tender of flocks and herds, you have been so sadly forgotten.

and this is why I will never rise any higher in politics than my current office

Here; I see the problem. Wotan the Longwinded is only classed as a philosopher! He should have dual classed into ‘King’ ten levels ago. His whole skill tree is ruined. If you can’t get an ex to talk him into walking into the sea, you’d might as well just reset the kingdom.

I'm so happy to see you here.

you gotta explain the shortage interpretively, with shadow puppets

"Ah yes, the allegory of the cave, I know this ond. Quite droll and sophmoric"

This mf thinks anyone us going to do something about the grain shortage

I am ashamed I used to entertain that stupid fucking thought experiment

our treasured philosophers should be smoking A Lot of weed and rapping about this stuff in between rounds of hackey sack. they should not be writing tax policy

This is what would have happened if they had done one more season of Game of Thrones.

Can you even see why kids love the taste of Cinnamon Toast Crunch?

despite all my rage I’m still just a grain in a jar

The best evidence against philosopher-kings was everyone who interacted with Plato and called him an annoying ass
