They had thus [[projected]] a [[plan]] envisioning a new order of [[planetary]] [[creatures]] whom they hoped would become the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philosopher_king teacher-rulers] of [[human]] [[society]].

77:2.3 The postrebellion era on [[Urantia]] [[witnessed]] many [[unusual]] happenings. A great [[civilization]]—the [[culture]] of [[Dalamatia]]—was going to pieces.
