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?
