Etalocians' principal "Axial Age" innovation is the concept of the ''Second Mover'' (Eevo: ''Feesd Eenr'', Clofabosin: ''ribilzavudan'') which is roughly "the creative capacity and the attendant responsibility that we have as human beings independent of any external authority". More pithily, it is "the God within us". In short, we humans are responsible for "creation" and formulating rules, where "God has left off", even when no one is telling us what to do. There is much vagueness in this definition, though, leaving open exactly what the Second Mover should be driven towards. This motivated much of philosophy, psychology and social science, but on the other hand many a perverse formulation of this doctrine was used to justify brutality.

Modern Etalocin religion consists of developing transhumanist technologies and giving participants a "meaning-rich" environment with rituals and mythmaking. Overcoming human limitations is seen as working towards the ultimate manifestation of the Second Mover; eventually, the Second Mover must defeat the First Mover, which is the evil, at best untrustworthy demiurge.
