PROPHECY: Some thoughts about digital technology

    256 terabytes per second should be
    enough to make fast decisions – but
    if nanotechnology advances too far
    generation X cyborgs will supplant most
    humans & the system will become 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 infinitely spanned.


Ron:   (chuckling) The human love of nonsense is amazing. Take this poem, for example. 
       It's basically absurd – that is its only charm.

Lis:   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?

Linda: No special need – merely a choice. There's a difference between 'need' and 'choice'.
