    In essence Venat is an extremist Primitivist.
    And in time, lessons - or better yet, viewpoints - from the past can/will fade/fall out of favour/be seen as dogmas to be overcome, and given the still remnant impulses in man to minimise suffering and seek better, brighter tomorrows, the star may go on a similar course, particularly with the calamities out the way... or something from the distant reaches of the universe may decide to wipe it out and then decide to wipe itself out.

    "I thought that my invincible power would hold the world captive, leaving me in a freedom undisturbed. Thus night and day I worked at the chain with huge fires and cruel hard strokes. When at last the work was done and the links were complete and unbreakable, I found that it held me in its grip." - Rabindranath Tagore

    Liking grapes, and anything they can be turned into, is just part and parcel of the seat of Azem.
