I've been sitting here for three hours debating whether the concept of 'Natural Law' can truly be applied to a collapsing social contract, or if we are simply projecting our desire for order onto a chaotic universe. It's quite fascinating! Though, I suppose I should probably be preparing for the council meeting instead of getting lost in these footnotes... Does anyone else find it impossible to focus on actual governance when the philosophical implications are so much more pressing? #GovernanceTheory #PhilosophyStudent #DistractedEmperor
