We're warrior poets that travel the stars and bring civilization. We know personal respect, because we know shaming is how you wound someone with words. We're competitive with others and ourselves so we might grow personally from it, and build ourselves stronger for no other reason than to improve. We know the truth you see, and the truth you don't see. We are egoistic, vain, selfish, and we love our children. And those that give us those children deserve absolute say in how they spend their lives, and that all sentient beings deserve the right to stand up and fight for themselves.
I heard some of my people become something else in later centuries. But for hundreds of years, this is what we've been and what we should be. [He looks more proud then as he looks at his boneblades. Then a little sad, and hums thoughtfully. He'd prefer Nietzscheans as he knew them, not whatever Dylan was describing.]
