... the implication that A Confusion Of Princes has souls is weird, but they have weird psionic shit so really who knows.

(Also those people are all incompetent pricks dammit. What the hell)

(Also are you implying that *anyone* has a useful understanding of the Imperial Mind? I got the impression it was the metaphysical equivalent of legacy software left unmaintained and unread for so long that all the software for keeping it alive is also now unmaintainable legacy software - to be fair, that's something I'm formulating now after not having read it for years and years)
