Fear not my son, St Automatos will grant you a dispensation because of
your excellent work in robo-exegesis and hermeneutics, to say nothing of
your capacity for escatalogical scat because verily, verily, someone must
project meaning onto the logos of spiritual machines as these
robo-babblers surpass the capacity of ordinary mortals and the new elite
in the social class war, the Technolord-Technopriest alliance, bonded
together to keep the technopeasant masses in bondage as lords and priests
have always done.
