“Once the mind and body
are conditioned at a pre-verbal
level, to operate beyond the
assumptions of Aristotelian categories,
and to be aware of the self-reflexive
nature of abstraction, then the mind
is ready to adapt itself to reality as
it is, not as we wish it were.”

van Vogt’s World of Null-A
The kid: “I’m gonna take you somewhere, Rick.”
Rick: “Why, kid? Why not just float here awhile?
The kid: “Ya missed me, huh?”
Rick: “What’d you think, kid?”
The kid: “Oh, I dunno. We gotta get outta Mars pretty soon tho. Know what I mean?”
Rick: “Yeah, I know.”
[Overhead Lizard drones are patrolling Hellas Town night & day. Mopping up the last of the Martian colonialists. The Tower is empty—except for Rick up in the penthouse. His jag-hovercraft ready to take off.]
