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.

My husband, like me, is probably autistic. But he has the presentation where human interaction is generally both unrewarding and fraught with anxiety. He doesn't eat food with other people, including me, unless he is performing friendship, which he does less and less these days. FB, tumblr, twitter - none of those hold any meaning for him. But you can't have a society made up people like my husband. You can't have a society if none of it's members rely emotionally on other people for validation and connection- and engagement is a huge part of that mechanism for connection.
