Description: Lysander Timurov, a controversial biologist from rural @@NAME@@ who denies Darwinian evolution, has arrived in @@CAPTIAL@@ to meet with you over something that will "revolutionize agriculture forever."
Validity: nation must have the 'autocracy' policy.
Option 1: Doctor Timurov bursts into your office and immediately dumps several folders of scientific papers on your desk. "My research shows well enough that both plants and animals' nature is entirely dependent on how they are raised, not their heritage! For example, a grass seed raised alongside wheat will grow into wheat, and a cat raised alongside dogs can survive on dog food. However, those 'educational experts' who slander me are brainwashed by decadent foreign science! Fire them all and ban their imperialist propaganda from our schools! Let my teachings guide the future farmers and biologists of @@NAME@@!"
Effect: @@DEMONYM@@ children are taught that The Ugly Duckling is biologically impossible.
Option 2: @@RANDOMNAME_1@@, one of Doctor Timurov's more... enthusiastic aides, takes the opportunity to raise @@HIS_1@@ voice. "The excellent Doctor Timurov makes a valid point, but we clearly can take it much farther! I believe that his policies can also be applied to human beings. If we potentially raise people from birth under the right circumstances, they can become the perfect soldiers! Of course, we need a research facility to do this. I've already pegged Mount @@ANIMAL@@ as a perfect location to build one: out of the way, isolated from foreign spies, and surrounded by villages full of potential vic- I mean volunteers!"
Effect: Underneath Mount @@ANIMAL@@, nobody ever goes in... and nobody ever comes out.
Option 3: @@RANDOMNAME_2@@, head of the @@DEMONYM@@ Department of Agriculture, storms in furiously. "You can't seriously believe that lunatic, can you?!" @@HE_2@@ blurts out. "These people are nutcases, every one of them! My cousin is as dumb as a bag of @@ANIMAL@@s and even he knows that animals can only pass on what they inherited! If you have an ounce of sense, @@LEADER@@, you'd kick this charlatan out of here, and make sure that children are taught well enough to never believe his drivel again!"
Effect: On the Origin of Species is required reading for all elementary school students.
Option 4: @@RANDOMNAME_3@@, the local representative of the Diabolical Advocates' Association of @@REGION@@, steps in to try and resolve the commotion. "Now, it isn't very fair to simply dismiss poor Doctor Timurov without giving him the opportunity to demonstrate, is it? I propose that the best way to resolve this is with a little competition between the two theories. Give Doctor Timurov and @@RANDOMNAME_2@@ a five-acre plot of land each, and let them manage it for the next few months. Whoever's theories produce the highest crop yields gets to write next year's biology textbooks. How does that sound, @@LEADER@@?"
Effect: The competition's live stream is a massive hit among those who love watching the grass grow.
