START: Remarkable. Each of you is praising a different theory, but the actual conditions you have to offer are the same: a prison in either case. I prefer the madhouse. Here at least I can’t be exploited by politicians.

END: Reality is no match for us. It comes to grief at our hands. We must take back our knowledge, and I have taken it back. There is no other solution, and that goes for you too.
