So, you want us to render ourselves incapable of understanding what we once were?

Never mind - that was just the centrifugality meme possessing me for a moment.

So, you want us to render ourselves incapable of understanding what we once were?

That would be to assume we ever knew who we once were.

If we didn't, what would make it "us"?

Not the knowing - just the being.

Hey, what happened to everybody? You're not afraid of a little chess game, are you? [climbs back into jacuzzi]

*working on a scroll, nods as she hears Irina, but doesn't look up* I am sure you are clean enough for a hot tub full of old dirt, sandals, and a monk's robe with possible shrinkage issues. Enjoy yourself. But chess is a 2 person game so you don't mind if I get a little work done, do you?

possible shrinkage issues.

I'll have you know this is the finest fully recursive, fractalized habit that Messrs Crozier, Challis & Thong (Ecclesiastical Outfitters to the Virtual Clergy) can provide. The more you try to shrink it, the more it stays the same.
The hair shirt might be moulting a little, but there's absolutely nothing wrong with the robes.

*Nods again* Reminds me of a song I once herad:

Eli, Eli he sells socks
Dollar a pair
Nickel a box
The longer you wear them
The shorter they get
And you put 'em in the water
and they don't get wet
