"I am not sure how we can eradicate the Cytom entity, the cytom trait from all humans, and then be sure it will not re-emerge, as traits are part of the genes and the genes store such traits in case they are needed to re-emerge, to re-establish the species."

"Global eradication of the species is possible," Teskela revealed. The Voryons had done it before. And a new species had become dominant. The Voryons didn't want to eliminate humanity, they had come to love the specialized qualities of their Arts and Sciences, of all that humans have to offer, but the cause of people's willingness to fight was growing globally.

"You call it apocalypse, and ascribe religious values to it. It is arrogant to think what is happening here hasn't happened elsewhere, chaos is a norm, born out of so called freedom and speciality."

"At best it is an experiment, at worst it destroys those that live it."

"You cannot have good without bad," Samra, one of Larry's genetic twins retorted.

"Yes you can," came the reply, and you can "detune" the hate to a degree where uniformity isn't the end result, and that a large degree of speciality can co-exist, and produce both an interesting culture and longevity. So that people don't become bored with themselves, and elevated warring doesn't take place. There will always be those that don't have, and those prepared to take what isn't theirs and wrongfully so. But at that point reason and opportunity to channel that negativity into positivity has to occur, thus short circuiting the hatred."

"There is in fact so much hatred on earth that there is a kind of supernatural bubble of it that floats around the planet. This bubble of hate inflates itself, look at the middle east, look at Central American societies where cartels see no other way except to usurp reason, project hate, destroy civility, civilians, toward their own dominant ends, and then bring down the interesting specializations of art, education and science, so it dwindles to nothing, and hope fades like a dewdrop in the scorching sun."

"There are a couple ways to "pop" the bubble of hate. At the sublime end is the tale of the ten kings."
