Character

Liam Dieghan

agrarian-minded visionary foundational influential

Liam Dieghan emerges as a historically cited philosopher and founder of the Neo-Transcendentalist movement. Data invokes Dieghan to contextualize the Mariposa manifest, arguing that Dieghan's advocacy of a return to a simpler, nature-harmonized life explains colonists' mixed cargo of spinning wheels and livestock alongside advanced electronics. Within the episode Dieghan functions as an intellectual touchstone whose doctrines supply a culturally coherent motive for apparently contradictory material practices.
