But conversely, the dolphins had always believed that they were far more intelligent than man – for precisely the same reasons. " "Electronic communities build nothing. You wind up with nothing. We are dancing animals. How beautiful it is to get up and go out and do something. We are here on Earth to fart around. Don’t let anybody tell you any different."
