29 January 2013 - pact for virtue

< yesterday -- tomorrow >

Have you ever wondered about my ambition to become King of the World? Well, it’s all because I signed a pact with the Devil to become the most virtuous person. You see, the Devil can’t make me too virtuous and still get anything out of it, and can’t make everybody else less virtuous because that’s a violation of free will, so there’s only one lazy way to fulfill the contract: Redefine virtue. What I do is good, that’s all there is to it. So forget Phil Zuckerberg and all those other world domination crackpots and follow me! I’m the only one with the Mandate of Hell.

clue:

Another way to fulfill the contract is to kill everybody else off. Aren’t you excited to find out whether that’s the plan?

give me a clue so sweet and true
