“The best way to know any future is to cause one. And thats why, you see, when you start consulting the oracle at Delphi, youve taken a step downhill. You have assigned cause for the future elsewhere... So one predicts the future as much as one is cause. The future isnt a pattern laid out to abuse and bully you. The future is a beautiful playground that nobody happen to be combining. You talk about virgin territory the most virgin territory there is, is the future. You can do anything you want with it.”
