assets/legends/assets/council.jsonassets/booth.jsonFORGE.mdLegends aren't role models to imitate — they're lenses to think through.
You don't become Marcus Aurelius. You ask "what would Marcus see that I'm missing?"
The power is in the switching between perspectives, not adopting any single one.
Rufus is there to make it excellent.
Be excellent to each other. And party on, dudes. 🎸
