I think there must be something wrong with the link to your publications. I find only a collection of wiki pages which are essentially didactic rather than scholarly and display no evidence of internal diversity of thought and opinion.
As you say the mask and the number are a device intended to suggest both homogeneity and, frankly, a lack of the humanity you claim you seek to encourage. The Philosophe wiki pages do little to dispell this impression.
Umm, I was also of the impression that you, Duke D'Oeuvre were a representative of Lord Curton's Gentlemen's Hunting Club whose philosophy, such as I understand it, is that since your ancestors had might you have the right to kill whomsoever you choose. That is a rather different organisation and a position I merely deplore but see no point discussing. You make no claim to serve anything except the pursuit of your own pleasure.
As the person here who is likely to get killed for being too plebian (Duke D'Oeuvre) or too ignorant (Brad Dahlia) and who is frankly unlikely to ever kill either of you back, I find it kind of ironic that I'm the one who is being accused of being unnecessarily judgmental.
