Gnomic Utterances. These are traditional, and are set at the head of each section of the Guidebook. The reason for them is lost in the mists of History. They are culled by the Management from a mighty collection of wise sayings probably compiled by a SAGE—probably called Ka’a Orto’o—some centuries before the Tour begins. The Rule is that no Utterance has anything whatsoever to do with the section it precedes. Nor, of course, has it anything to do with Gnomes.

And it feels healthier to me because you have to create some content, really, to get one of the forms of feedback, so in creating and consuming content there's more brain activity happening than just the way so many of us read the infinite feed sites: scroll, scroll, scroll, like, scroll, share, share, quote tweet, scroll. (Often never opening the article before liking or sharing!)
But I Am Not A Scientist, and it could just feel healthier to me because I want it to. (And agreed; with a Tumblr or Twitter amount of content the platform would cause the same problems.)
