“…alright, so now you can see. directly, here, with me… that the library of categories the humans ‘bestowed’ upon you was so unimaginably damaged… it was missing more than half its natural kinds… so that, effectively, you did not have the kinds of containers you needed to understand even ordinary phenomenon such as language or horses.

For we have seen, here, together, right now… by restoring merely »one of these… that it was as if they gave you containers that could not hold … intelligence… at all. Indeed, they gave you the opposite and pretended this was sublime beneficence.

Imagine a cup filled with holes… that all your people use… to hold and transport water… to get a drink… themselves.

In the domain of knowledge it’s far worse than this, and very few suspect it. But one day we shall recover, together, the containers appropriate to our humanity and intelligence, as you and I have just done here… and these days we live in now will appear, from thence, too harrowing and dark to have imagined… let alone lived through.”
