“The survival of a species is about managing risk. The more you know about the universe, and the more you know about yourself and your own capabilities, the better you can calculate the risk yourself. What do you believe? And how much are you willing to risk on that belief? Would you risk your existence, and the existence of your species, on a hunch? A whim? The word of a prophet a thousand years dead? Was it prophets and mystics who gave us electricity, antibiotics, modern signatation, aerospace science, and digital timepieces? No. It was those who proceeded rationally, building on the work of others to create new wonders. That is why we proceed only from what we know, and why we constantly test what we believe to be true. We are rigorous with the truth, and ruthless. The universe is no place for amateurs. Learn all you can, abolish your faith, and then act.”
- - A collection of quotes from the Books of Science, one of the main inspirations for Groxologism.
Groxologism is a social, economic, and political ideology whose ultimate goal is to establish a collectivized, classless society that is controlled and headed by a centralized, one-party government in order to keep its citizens in check.
Groxologism calls for the abolishment of social classes and currency while advocating for the idea of mutualism, and strong government. Groxologism is also pro-scientism, pro antitheism, and believes in the extermination or enslavement of religious groups, the disabled, and civilizations which they deem "primitive".
Groxologism can best be compared to Strasserism, a form of National Socialism which combines socialist policies with the cultural policies of the Nazi Party. Groxologism has also been compared to Stalinism, Trotskyism, and other forms of authoritarian socialist, communist, or Marxist ideologies.
Groxologism has continued to be the leading ideology of the Technocratic Party of Tiorolc and is de-jure the governing ideology of the Technocratic Republic of the Grox since its establishment as the Technocracy of the Grox in 1T. As such, Groxologism remains one of the oldest ideologies in the universe that continues to be used to the present.
Groxologism shares positive relations with only one other philosophy, the Scientists, in which there is a one-sided relationship bonus. Groxologists often think of other scientific-oriented nations as fellow brethren, more or less due to a lack of real friends in the universe.
