Calculus and Mickey’s dad have been deceiving everybody for the cause. i mentally applaud them both. Through Auld Archie, they have been in regular contact with each other.
– Our thoughts having tallied on notably mathematical and computing matters.
Mickey’s dad then thanks Auld Archie for acting as an ‘invaluable go between.’ This is met with a spontaneous round of applause. And as it dies down Mickey’s dad raises his voice, so as to address the threat that a digital god poses to the the world. Which of course is the reason why we have all assembled.
– You can remake the world, at least on the surface of things. Once upon a time I loved Photoshop. Using it was like controlling a dream, the assembling and disassembling of reality. Everything is potentially alterable. Later I understood that audibility, too, was part of the digital package. Soon afterwards I got real scared because there are only three senses to go before the emergence of a full blown Berkeleyian dystopia – the creation of a digital god for a digital universe. A universe robotically, eternally faked. E-mbezzlements will be the least of our worries…
Mickey’s dad ceases to talk, distracted by Koockie who has taken off his shirt to reveal a tattoo. Calculus, in rushing over, is the first to inspect it.
– Ummn tattoos. Most interesting, in a way they confer human dignity on the individual; ensuring the transition from nature to culture.
