In a moment of clarity, I noticed that the megacorp philosophy appears to be founded not just on needless bureaucracy (Dis), but also betrayal for self-interest (Vestrial) and a general philosophy of greed at any cost to others (Raggok).
Since those three passions have been in a state of slow absorption into Ristul since early scourge 4th age, a non-trivial portion of each has already been consumed and is now churning together in the massive soul-blender that is Ristul. This just brings up disturbing questions about Saeder-Krupp and every other corp that is owned by something that really should recognize what is being fed by their business model. |
