“If KNOWLEDGE draws lines on a map to divide us from them;
If WISDOM proclaims that glory is worth more than human life;
If PROGRESS means new ways to kill more of our fellow men more swiftly than before;
If UNDERSTANDING concerns the weaponisation of all of science;
If INSIGHT is merely for foiling the plans of self-proclaimed enemies;
And if MEMORY ensures that ever death shall be avenged sevenfold;
Then, say I: LET OBLIVION REIGN!”
