Statesman reminder for next week:

[Andrew] we continue on some dubious divisions along the way to finding the king/statesman, including dividing animals into land/aquatic, land animals into horned/not-horned, etc. This does not lead to a satisfying conclusion, so we began looking into the differences between a herdsman and a king, noting that the king’s duties are in dispute with others who claim to care for the raising of humans (e.g. bakers, doctors, gymnastics instructors). Now we have embarked on a story which will help us, somehow, gain some clarity. The story begins with a description of the universe, a living thing, guided into a rotation by a diving being, and when the diving being is not intervening, this rotation reverses, causing the destruction of most life on Earth.
