The olicarpy will never allow any real intelligence to infiltrate their ranks, Grapho.
I think that might be an overstatement, Plutarch.
I don't think the olicarpy has anything against real intelligence per se. I just think they are opposed to anyone using real intelligence to make them appear ordinary -- in others words, unCarpal.
I have a solution, Plutarch. See what you think of it.

Hold on, Grapho. We'll have to bring Wordminstrel back for this.

I think you're on to something here, Grapho.
But, that's the dilemma, isn't it?
How can the olicarpy know if real intelligence is being used to make them feel "ordinary", or if real intelligence itself makes them feel "ordinary"?
It puts them on the horns of a dilemma, wouldn't you say? Either way it makes them feel "ordinary".
I can hardly wait to hear your "solution".
Where is Wordminstrel?

Either way it makes them feel "ordinary".So, what's wrong with feeling "ordinary"? Most of us are "ordinary". That doesn't mean we're going to let any olicarpy Carpalord over us.

That never works in the long run, Tang, believe me.
We have to find a way to resolve these primitive power struggles. They have plagued ordinary people throughout all the ages.
That's why I'm anxious to hear Grapho's "solution".
They say "There is nothing new under the sun", but you never know.
Where is Wordminstrel anyway?

So Grapho thinks he's got a "solution", eh?
[Aside to Plutarch] He's still an "Addict", you know.

Yes, I know, Wordminstrel. But let's hear him out. We can't leave any stone unturned in our quest for peace.

the mgmt hit the nail on the head. The Olicarps are on the horns of a dilemma whether or not we treat them with respect. Is everyone good with that, so far?
