This was an entirely predictable result guys

How did we not predict that the rightful caliph would win?

Edit: whoops wrong market

Since Buttocks Cocktoasten is BTE's first child from the future, what does BTE's ban say about BC's status as the Lisan al Gaib? Does BTE being banned make him "off-world" with respect to Manifold to fit with the prophesied origins?

@PlasmaBallin I am now realizing that this mythology implies that I either die before 2069 or don't have access to the time travel technology that will exist then, since I won't be able to time travel back to 2023.

@PlasmaBallin omg theres a wiki

@PlasmaBallin Probably needs to be updated, though. It doesn't even mention that Buttocks Cocktwosten has been immolated.

@PlasmaBallin important lore

@strutheo You can read all the pages on the Rationalussy Wiki here: https://rationalussy.fandom.com/wiki/Special:AllPages

@PlasmaBallin I just clicked on the article on the Eschatology of the Rationalussy cult because I didn't remember what was in it, and I realized the article is blank. I think I created it at one point because I was going to write an article about it, but now I don't remember what the Rationalussy cult's eschatology is. Unless it was just going to be a vague reference to rationalussy uniting humanity or God revealing that his true name is Rationalussy. Truly tragic that this important religious knowledge is now lost to history.

@PlasmaBallin It's basically the Human Instrumentality Project, but with rationalussy instead of tang.

Clearly, @ButtocksCocktoasten is the Lisan al Gaib, literally a religious prophet.
