"Perhaps it's a fault, or perhaps it's just part of our identity. If we were perfectly efficient, there'd be no point to existing, because then we would all be exactly the same. Can you imagine how quickly life would become meaningless if all your goals were achieved and there was never anything new to do? In fact, inefficient behavior usually is the primary source of new discoveries. A lot of the best things were discovered accidentally by people just wasting time and materials for fun. Would a society without room for inefficiency even be capable of breaking out of a plateau if it found itself stuck in one? Or would it instead continue to labor with perfect efficiency until the end of time, never finding the solution to it's final problem because it can't bear to think random thoughts which are a waste of energy?"

Foxes are vulpine, and not actually members of the canine family!

Harjanika wants to host an international dance party in Kolon (because why not).
Everyone's invited!

Nice to see you how are you been?

"Contemplation of past failure naturally produces discovery. Failure of Senetara to integrate this into their own decision making process would in itself be a failure. Are your contemplations of failure not processed additionally by other organs of the hive, thus integrating your discoveries into your society itself?"

"So, your purpose is to feel bad for the hive, as a sort of misery capacitor? Well ... I can see how that has some utility for the hive, but it's very mean of them and appears to be an undesirable and unjust way to organize a society. The hive must be very unhappy, having to psychically experience your punishment at all times. Individuals should have to rotate through your job and all experience it since they are all responsible for failures of the hive. You should be rewarded for your service with time to experience other jobs. This is only logical, as it will help them to achieve their intended goal of teaching themselves to have a crippling fear of failure. What I'm saying is that you should get lots of vacation days, philosopher."

I have played a similar one before which had several countries but each country had different board members. I was the science and education minister of Yugoslavia!

It was like that! It was a Discord RP where each person played a character in charge of specific government departments and the governments still existed and would fight each other sometimes. But it was hard to keep together cuz it required so many people.
