Interesting question: what do elite sophisticates *do*, once they've reached their pinnacle?
Harlan Ellison suggests one possibility in his 1967 story titled: The Prowler in the City at the Edge of the World. James

hmmm, I know any number of people, formerly of the intelligensia, who easily qualify, starting with a few high volume burnt-out coders. as far as I see, my vision is limited by "The Edge of the World" --Sunday (20/10/96) BC is a perfect example. BTW, about 10 years ago I was on flight from LA to London, first class, and BOTH Parker and Hart were on board --well, at least their physical material selves were on board --they are definitely skirting the edge of the abyss. Parker resembles the King, but not quite so short; Hart resembles Peter. No sleep possible that night with those two on board. Parker & Hart are definitely a few cards short... __________________________________________________________________________ go not unto usenet for advice, for the inhabitants thereof will say: yes, and no, and maybe, and I don't know, and fuck-off. _________________________________________________________________ attila__
