Beings Quote by Sov8840
““A simple proof that they are a kind of robot: if the era and civilization they live in worshipped "ugliness," they too would come to worship it. Or if this era and civilization encouraged "laziness," they would begin to curse work automatically. Because they are not alive beings, but unconscious extensions of history.””
