    As someone who does kind of like the Golarion setting and enjoyed his time with Pathfinder I’m deeply frustrated to see Yud and company tear all the actual interesting worldbuilding out of Cheliax in order to use the concept of an explicitly lawful evil theocracy to avoid cognitive disonnance about how fucking evil their various eugenics fantasies are.

      I wonder if Yud has biological children? He is mercifully discreet about his home life even if he shares his kinks like he has a five-book contract with Baen Books.

          He argues that the way to prevent the AI apocalypse is to breed superbabies from high-IQ stock, and a major plot point of Project Lawful is that the hero wants to prove himself worthy of having more children than average and nation he isekais himself to agrees but wants any future children to use their genes for evil.
