Lamettrian Geppettoism

Ingram Clockworks exclusively employs Lamettrian Geppettoists. In Classical Geppettoism, the practitioner constructs the thing they want to imbue with life and then relies on the beneficence of a Fairy Godmother to give the thing a soul and a mind. Julien Offray de La Mettrie refined Cartesian materialism, obviating dualism, asserting that both the body and the mind were machines, in his 1748 book, Man a Machine. Lamettrian Geppettoists have freed up Fairy Godmothers to pursue other activities.
