Isn't it "One stone"? I'm quite sure "Stein" means stone/rock.
Damnit :ninja:
I put no stock in religion. By the word religion I have seen the lunacy of fanatics of every denomination be called the will of god. I have seen too much religion in the eyes of too many murderers. Holiness is in right action, and courage on behalf of those who cannot defend themselves, and goodness.

[B]Chairman:[/B] [Chapter Nineteen] "To the Director of Project Freelancer: I write to inform you that by the authority of this Sub-Committee, officers have been dispatched to place you under arrest and we expect your full cooperation. Congratulations are in order, I suppose. When they write the new morality protocols for dealing with AI, I am certain they will name entire sections of the doctrine after you. It seems that you will earn your place in history after all... Dear Director."
[B]Director:[/B] [Epilogue] "Dear Chairman, I am disappointed by your decision to press charges, but I am not surprised. My only hope is that the courts will see the matters differently than you have. You see; I never had the chance to serve in battle. Nor did fate provide me the opportunity to sacrifice myself for humanity as it did for so many others in the Great War. Someone extremely dear to me was lost very early in my life. My mind has always plagued me with the question: If the choice had been placed in my hands, could I have saved her? The memory of her has haunted me my entire life, and more so in these last few years than I could have ever imagined. But, given the events of these past few weeks, I feel confident that had I been given the chance, I would have made those sacrifices myself... Had I only the chance. I know that you disagreed with my methods and that others will as well. This is beyond my control. However, I cannot imagine that any court would be able to convict me no matter how low their opinion of my actions might be. You must understand one basic fact for all this to make sense, my Dear Chairman: These AI, they all come from somewhere. They are all based on a person. Our ALPHA was no exception. And while the law has many penalties for the atrocities we inflict on others, there are no punishments for the terrors that we inflict on ourselves. So you send your men. They won't find themselves a fight. They'll only find an old man. An old man tired, but satisfied he did his duty. An old man weary from a mind more filled with memory than it is with hope. Sincerely yours, the former Director of Project Freelancer, Dr. Leonard Church."
Brings chills to my spine everytime i hear the second part.

We're dots on a dot, circling a dot in an unimportant arm of a dot, in a cluster of such dots, floating around in the universe, which in itself might be just another dot in an even larger metaverse. In short; We aren't as important as we think we are.

Odd.
Recently, i was reading an old book i have on space, and came to the very part on our galaxy.
A part was circled on this gargantuan picture of the galaxy, and even with the book presed to my face, there were millions of dots in that circle. That one circle contains our Solar System, which was invisible to the naked eye. And that galaxy is still only a speck in the entire universe.
We can fight, we can obliterate countries, we can fight for our rights, we can save the trees and whales, but looking at that picture made me realise how infinitely small we are. Sure, winning a war is good, but on the scale of the universe, its only as if you have scratched a skin cell of your pinky finger.
