A lot of the things DQ writes about I'd intuited some time before, but given up as silly dreams. Thanks to Ishmael and DQ's other books, I can see that they aren't just the silly utopian dreams of a child, but a possibility, a possibility that's existed for millennia, that we're not allowed to contemplate. Now I know, not only is it possible, it has to be done, or we're all going to die. No more compromising, I'm going to have something better, and I'm going to have it now!

Immediately, I'm helping organize a "Quinnian" student group at the University of Pittsburgh, while I master the various computer/business skills I'll need to set up my tribal computer game company. :^)
