VICE-PRESIDENT WAYNE’S WARNING · TO THE
MALLITES
The seven warning signs of thinking
Chapter 6
The second early warning sign of thinking is memory,
2Which is when you suddenly think of something that happened in the past,
3Meaning some other time than the present,
4Like yesterday,
5Or last week.
6Even if this has never happened to you yet,
7It could,
8And you should know how to handle it.
9Memory isn’t necessarily fatal,
10As long as it only happens every once in a while,
11But if you should get in the habit of remembering things that happened yesterday or last week or last year,
12It could mess you up,
13dEspecially if you start to wonder what it all means,
14And whether you should take it into account in deciding what to do next.
15You shouldn’t.
16The thing is, memories don’t mean anything.
17eThe past is history,
18And it isn’t important,
19Or worth worrying about.
20If you start to have attacks of memory,
21And you feel like you might start to wonder about it or take it into account for some reason,
22Do some drugs instead,
23fLike maybe something hallucinogenic,
24Because hallucinations are safer than memories,
25If you’re trying to prevent an outbreak of thinking.
