What am I eliminating? The bourgeois infatuation with peaceful conservation
of the past. This is a binding force, a thing which holds humankind into one
vulnerable unit in spite of illusionary separations across parsecs of space.
If I can find the scattered bits, others can find them. When you are
together, you can share a common catastrophe. You can be exterminated
together. Thus, I demonstrate the terrible danger of a gliding, passionless
mediocrity, a movement without ambitions or aims. I show you that entire
civilizations can do this thing. I give you eons of life which slips gently
toward death without fuss or stirring, without even asking 'Why?' I show you
the false happiness and the shadow-catastrophe called Leto, the God
Emperor. Now, will you learn the real happiness?
