I see... Well. To remain in line with the philosophical views of the Emporer I suggest you spend 2,000 hours listening to Ronnie James Dio's music in order to gain perspective and balance.

@@anthonye44 "No Dice" is an unfortunate response. What I described to you was not a game of chance. Dice would be useless in the execution of my instructions.

Had humanity turned out to be more like Marcus Aurelius and Carl Jung there would be no need of antinatalism. So rare and beautiful. The rest of us would be ashamed of ourselves had we any sense. Which we don't. Rocky, I suspect you might also be one of the rare ones. Thanks for all your efforts.

I want to hear about his policies and some examples of his leadership, since I have gone through the general basic information about his life and how he ended up where he did. If someone can point me to a video about a more thorough look into his life, I would really appreciate it. If one is not available, I can do some reading later on, and perhaps ever record the things I find interesting about him.
