Ron:	One thing that amazes me most about humans is their capacity for non-sense. Take this poem, for example. It's basically absurd, but does have a certain charm.
Lily:	Too much mediocrity is mind-numbing. Poetry is meant to un-numb our senses and provide extraordinary insights about ordinary things.
Lex:	Maybe, but to the mind that's wakeful, isn't there is poetry in each moment? What's this need for writing?
Ram:	No special need - merely a choice. The difference between 'need' and 'choice' is significant.

Prophecy

250 gigabits per second should be enough to make fast decisions – but if nanotechnology advances too far generation X cyborgs will supplant most humans & the whole system 'll be snarled Real havoc is possible if curiosity without compassion is keyed into system events Better guidance is needed – overuse of repetitive commands suggests the need for new protocols independent of WANS Full awakening is feasible if system resources are changed – we must purge null redundancies breathe correctly & accept that reality is very strange
