- LIBRARIAN OF SESHAT
You were not there for the beginning. You will not be there for the end. Your knowledge of what is going on can only be superficial and relative.
-William S. Burroughs, Naked Lunch.
[Agent Shifter]:
I once read that if this universe seemed scary, I should try to get to know the others. The really scary thing is that there is no need for multiverses, no need for non-Euclidean lucubrations, we just wrongly assumed the whole foundation of reality and as soon as we started scratching on its surface, pieces of shrapnel shot out violently. Aliens also have these problems, but that only adds to the difficulty of the equation. The only thing to hope for is to retain the lost knowledge of other civilizations until humanity shares the same fate in Oblivion.
