Alles, was erfunden wurde, ehe du achtzehn geworden bist, war schon ewig da. Alles, was erfunden wird, bevor du dreißig wirst, ist aufregend und wird die Welt unwiderruflich verändern. Alles, was danach erfunden wird, ist abscheulich und sollte verboten werden.

The personality types that are driven to volunteer to contribute to collective informational resources are prone to a number of cognitive disorders - no doubt fascinating in the right context - leading to such happy fun consequences as edit wars over the meaning of the word exit, deletionist witch hunts for any reference to underlying physical reality, and a really unhealthy preoccupation with primary sources.

The zeppelin turns out to be a maryceleste, crewed by capricious iffrits whose expert systems were trained by angry, resentful trade unionists in ransom for their pensions. The amount of abuse required to keep the ship on course and its commissary and sanitary systems in good working order is heroic.
