Very noble.

Intriguing.

Ghouls. The answer is ghouls. I guess.

So even in Hero Oh Hero world, "effective altruism" means "being really shady"

46034: Zyzyzyryxy - Tuesday, February 25 2025 - 8:19 AM

Somehow this must tie to Held's story. Recently introduced group of researchers of prophecies indeed fits nicely, but having a ghoul eagerly working with humans to save humanity from otherworlders seems not correct. Someone opposing that group then?

So, survivalists or supremacists.
The whole "others" seems to point more towards the latter.

Mino, my thoughts exactly.

In reality, smile was not a psychopath, but a benefactor to humanity...

yeah, sure

46038: Tom - Tuesday, February 25 2025 - 3:00 PM

So Smile is happy to research this shit so that in the process a united humanity will survive? That's... ruthless and altruistic at the same time.

Also, spirits and ghouls became relevant a century ago? Around the time Held's team broke the temple?

obviously the reason why she didn't answer the question about who's funding them is because she doesn't know

and she doesn't care to know

@Tom
Held was about 30-40 years ago, all told, so not quite. More likely Magic arriving and destroying the existing political order.

46041: Potatopeelerkind - Tuesday, February 25 2025 - 9:19 PM

I don't think that's what Effective Altruism means...

Anyway, it sounds like I was right about their motives on the last page. If it turns out they actually are with the library people I want a cookie.

I mean, not coming across as shady jackasses, while running a on-paper death game in lorg, would be even more suspicious.

(I also think Maria legitimately does not know who's funding them - and that she suspects the answer is "all of the above and more!")
