My friend Jason sent me the following e-mail:
Space Kat
Today Joey revealed to me his space ship which he used to get to this planet. He also telepathically hacked my computer with his mind and made the attached images appear on my Desktop. He then communicated to me that these images are of him as a juvenile, recorded some 8,000 years ago. His race long ago discovered immortality and they can be reborn in any form. He chose the form of Terran feline so that he could have a comparatively short respite of comfort and luxury after spending many decades in a thought chamber. I asked what a thought chamber was but he told me our language lacks the appropriate words to adequately describe it. Many late night discussions I have had with Joey have revolved around his ancient and alien philosophy, and they have in no small part served as an inspiration for many themes in my book. He has told me that he seeks only to promote a greater consciousness among humanity and hopes that we make it past our “technological adolescence” as his species did. He wished that I share his sentiments with a broader audience, and hence this e-mail.
Humanity is acquiring all the right technology for all the wrong reasons.jpg
Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one.jpg
The saddest aspect of life right now is that science gathers knowledge faster than society gathers wisdom.jpg

Maybe I should have called this post “Cat-tu Barada Nikto.” Anyway, see also: Bootsy Collins, eX-Girl, Timebox, Douglas Adams, Writing a Letter to Congress on Salvia, the inspiration for the title
