Famous Philosophers in Your Nation

Postby Khyrta » Mon Apr 11, 2011 11:22 am

Who are some famous philosophers in your nation and what have they predicted? Are they usually right or are they usually wrong?



The philosopher Nero is the most famous philosopher in Khyrta, though about 45% of the population think he has a mental disorder. He has predicted many events which either came true or almost happened, since the First Khyrtan War. His age is unknown though some people estimate he is around the age of ninety-five. His most recent predictions included the proletarian coup during the Khyrtan Revolution (which is how our current government came into power), and he now predicts another coup from a minority group within the next three decades.

Jean Ancre, although he is thought of more as the founder of the Regidist religion than as the kind of philosopher we think of today.

Indeed, Greater Rhodes is correct. You are confusing philosophers with prophets and oracles.
Philosophers are people who study general fundamental problems.

One famous philosopher was Yuri Kaney, he say'd "I see a time past our life time a day were the people will rise and rebuild the republic." He was right and the strangest part is that he died when the People's Revolition started.

There was a Grey alien by the name of Emmanuel Roswell Forgue, the Son of Lord Forgue who was adopted by him and his family during the founding and the Grey immigration to earth and mars. Emmanuel lived peacefully in the palace and in Capital Hill and Forguington for almost 200 years with his siblings nieces nephews and cousins, he helped to build the Palace Chapel with his half brother (grey side) Gabriel, and he studied religion becoming one of the Magi of the Chapel de Forgues. After time in the Church he travelled to New Vatican (built from the old one) to observe the election of Pope Friedrich Isan after the Death of Emmanuel's cousin Rodrigo Ezekiel Philip 13th. He saw the Churches teachings had been corrupted during the blessing of the corpse in that many of the priests did not attend, and later that night he found them engaging in prostitution. Emmanuel also saw a general hatred towards greys reimerging in the people after many years of predjudice and fear of the aliens, many who still harbored the old catholic and jewish teachings saw the greys as demons rather than 'brothers in the holy spirit' as the Gnostic Church now taught. Emmanuels cousin the Emperor Ziggy the second did not want there to be reform, as he thought it could triger a second civil war, and that some would quit coming to church for cleansing and would become zombies after the plague was still rampaging through parts of the world. Emmanuel proved that the zombie plague was less of a threat now than realized and that many grays still wanted to come to earth. After Gathering Followers on mars and greys who had become nobles in the royal city to petition before the Emperor, it was passed in Capital hill that greys and humans must share the earth, Emmanuel also travelled to the vatican and chastised the Priests who used prostitutes for not taking wives instead, the practice of celibacy was optional to the priests under his law and marriage was allowed. Emmanuel had a son of his own who would clone himself several times over and produce other children. Emmanuel died in 2495 an old half Grey and was buried under the Church he grew up in. He was proclaimed unanimously by both the Reigning Pope and the Sage council as the Lord Saint Roswell, and all his descendants would take the name Roswell instead of Forgue from then on.

Joseph Noh was one of the first sucessors of the Sage council after having studied as the aprentice of Lord Forgue. He helped to spread Lord Forgues message of kindness to the world. Joe knew from both his family condition and his own personal feelings that to work for ones self to better ones self and those around them was the key to a happy life, he went about displaying this with acts of charity and kindness to his fellow citizens in Forguington and in capital hill. the Nobles caught on, and the phrase 'a Noblemen is a Noble man' still is a virtue many abide by especially after the Kacey English reform, Joe became the sage in sucession to Lord Forgue and ruled peacefully and with a happy family of his own.

Kacey English lived 250 years ago, she was the daughter of Orlando English who was a member of the Noblity who were very traditional, and didnt want anything to do with the commoners, He was one who wore a spacesuit all day one to reflect his heritage of the ark riders during the zombie outbreak and to keep from breathing the 'common air'. Kacey didnt approve of her fathers way of life, though she stuck to if for the begining of her years as a teenager, it was when her father attacked a commoner for steping infront of him with his family sword that Kacey had enough, she took her hair out of the traditional 'whale tail' hair do, and eventually discarded the air bubble, this angered her father who disowned her temporarily but renewed her inheritance when she married Robert de Ruryk who was the cousin of the Emperor at the time, it was a marriage of love though so both sides won. Eventually Kacey and Robert began spreading the truth about how good deeds can make the commoners respect the nobles more rather than fear them, and out of political context, many members of the families desided to discard their air suits and teach their children the rewards of being nice and good deeds for the better of all. Thus to this day a pledge is said when accepting the inheritance of a Noble "I solemnly swear that the deeds of myself and of my descendants shall be for the benefit of all, My ambitions will be for their betterment, and my decisions will be for the safety of our Confederation
