Science enables us to realize our purposes, and if our purposes are evil, the result is disaster.

Quote

If the goal is the sole point of orientation, then the spatial interval to be crossed before reaching it is simply an obstacle to be overcome as quickly as possible. Pure orientation towards the goal deprives the in-between space of all meaning, emptying it to become a corridor without any value of its own. Acceleration is the attempt to make the temporal interval that is needed for bridging the spatial interval disappear altogether. The rich meaning of the path disappears. Acceleration leads to a semantic impoverishment of the world. Space and time no longer mean very much.

Liquified humans, and piloting giant mechs... This isn't related to the Instrumentality project, isn't it?

Last night I had a dream where I was a member of SEELE, and I was sort of Shinji's "handler" I guess? SEELE basically got me onboard because I'm a fan of Weird End Of The World scenarios, so the Third Impact was right up my alley, and dreaming-me was therefore totally cool with Instrumentality. I briefly wondered if I was going to be an Eva pilot, but the dream concluded that I was too old, the Children™ have to be born after the Second Impact and I was already like 15 at the time.

This was all basically "background narration" while I wandered around this indoor shopping place that was a little too small and non-homogenious to be a mall. I briefly saw a store that had signing and merchandise that was clearly inspired by That Wizard School Book Series and I immediately turned around and walked away. However, the dream wasn't consistent about the actual layout, so I couldn't consistently find anything.
