And feeling strongly (and strongly, what was more, in solitude, in hopelessly individual isolation), how could they be stable?"<br>

"Anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our lives, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that 'my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.'"
-Isaac Asimov

 

The Technocratic Union has the unique responsibility of safeguarding the expectation of reality, as well as the mortals inhabiting the lion's share of it. Conventions that suffer from a free rider problem but altogether encountering a complete standstill of innovation that creates more roadblocks than the deviants that they both monitor and pursue.

 


The Precepts of Damian

  1. Bring stasis and order to the universe. Predictability brings safety. Once all is discovered and all is known, Unity will be won.
  2. Convince the Masses of the benevolence of science, commerce and politics, and of the power of rationality. Conflict and suffering will be eliminated in our Utopia.
  3. Preserve the Gauntlet and the Horizon. Chaotic individuals who open gateways with impunity threaten the stability of our world. Uncontrolled portals also allow outside forces, such as Nephandi, access to our world. This must never happen.
  4. Define the nature of the universe. Knowledge must be absolute or chaos will envelop all. The elemental forces of the universe must not be left to the caprices of the unknown.
  5. Destroy Reality Deviants. Their recklessness threatens our security and our progress toward Unity.
  6. Shepherd the Masses; protect them from themselves and others.
