As of 2024, the world we live in (a goddess called Mother Gaia if you're religious, otherwise just planet Earth... or just something that doesn't exist at all in the first place if you're an ontological nihilist) contains around 8 billion human beings. But what if there's more, some powerful non-physical entities that many people bow down to and agree with unquestionably? Here is the truth about the Polyanthroi (singular "Polyanthros"), mysterious entities that shape human life, this is an occult truth long hidden from the masses, something that humankind is not ready for yet, and yet, here I am to reveal it (and then I'll write a fart fetish story only partially related to this concept, in order to awkwardly excuse this philosophical rambling, as I often do (hmpf!)).

It's late Saturday night, you're tired from a long week of work, you want to distract yourself and you're considering to buy a game from Vaporplay, a popular online game store. You're reading a review of the game, it's a negative one from a user called w_01 and you're reading all his/her motivations about why that game just sucks! Then, you read another review. The username of the reviewer is not specified, however, whoever made that review rated the game 90% and so gave a very positive rating. There's one problem, though. Vaporplay reviews can only be "I recommend this game" or "I don't recommend this game", one cannot rate a game with a percentage like that mysterious user did. So, what is going on here? Why could this mysterious user rate the game 90%? Well, of course, whoever rated that game is not a human being, that's the only explanation. So, who rated the game 90%?

90% of the people who reviewed the game gave a positive rating, while 10% of reviews are negative. But no human being has rated the game 90%, that's just not an option on Vaporplay. So, who rated it 90%, and what kind of user has the privilege of giving a rating like that on that website? The answer is, as we may already expect, not a human being. It was... a polyanthros. Eventually, you bought the game. The opinion of that unnamed polyanthros was far more convincing to you that the opinion of a human being (w_01 in this case). After all, humans are foolish, polyanthroi are wise and always right (for those who are conformists, at least).

But, what is a polyanthros, you may ask?

A polyanthros is a non-physical entity that is defined (by me, of course, since nobody else ever used this word before, tee-hee~) as the aggregate of two or more human beings. There are different types of polyanthroi, and here we'll explore them.

-Pananthros Schetikos
-Pananthros Apolytos
-Oligopananthros
-Geopananthros
-Chronopananthros
-Geochronopananthros
-Subpananthros
-Polyanthros Kanonikos
