Sunday, September 23, 2012 at 2:39PM Tales of Slud, Prologue, Part 3 - "On the lamentable fate of Philosophers and Historians"
The Philosophers are a group which developed as a subordinate class among the followers and colleagues of Grankh the Pompous, that is to say, the philosophers originated among the scientists of the human society which burgeoned out of the First Great Conversation at Mt. Conn-Fuuzhen.
The Philosophers, they who trace their lineage backwards (and of course also forwards) to such people as the first philosophers, Russel the Distracted and Socraplataristo the Demagogue, are thinkers by training and it is they who examine broad, sweeping questions about the nature of existence to their utmost peril. If there is any human in the world who has any idea of who they are, and what place they have in the universe, that idea is owing to the efforts of thousands of years worth of Philosophers who have paid the highest of prices for the answers to their questions.
