“The intelligence of your culture is currently so incredibly hidebound and absurdly impoverished, that if you -merely step aside from it- you will already be so advanced you will seem like you are from 500 years in the future. Do you understand what this means? In cultures -this- stupid, you -can- become superheroes. In fact, they were -practically invented to demand this!-

Don’t pass up this opportunity. Most of humanity is being swept away in a flood of self-aggrandizing ignorance whose sources are too intimate for them to notice or admit. It’s like Earth is Krypton or something, but instead of being destroyed by some geological or extraterrestrial calamity, we’re being destroyed by our own addiction to stupidity and hubris. Don’t wait. Step aside, co-opt the momentum, and fly. We’ll meet you upstairs for the strategy session.”
