    The arrogance of writing comes not from the finished creation, but from the very act itself. What hubris is required for a single mind to believe that its thoughts should populate the world? What unbridled arrogance is it to disperse ideas like the petals of a dandelion in the wind, allowing them to float free, to germinate in the minds of others like an invasive weed?

    This isn’t a game, Kerin! If you want to survive you need to keep your head down. No one will care about you if you’re just a random streamsurfer, an old friend of mine from a previous life. But keep talking loudly here, of all places, and you’ll bring down attention you do not want, I promise you.
