Feral T. Robot, Oil Swamp Utility Bot #7629 @feralrobots.bsky.social · 28/06/2026There's a bit in The Machine Stops where the second narrator writes to his mother that it's become unfashionable to have one's own ideas. They should always come from someone else; ideally, several removes away. As a kid I thought it extraneous; now of course I see it as integral. 110
