The reason Zenaan kept talking, is because we sold out and don't know how
to stop.

They'll just be even more injured and stupid, and make even less progress,
because they lived in the results of our failure.

What's relevant is that every one of our failures, is stored permanently as
a scar on our species, that children will be learning from by studying, in
some way, forever.

It hurts to see this sarcastic display.  I can only infer you learned to
communicate this way because many others are.  We will visit your community
and show your children real applause. [mirrored sarcasm in attempt to
support, caused by real cognitive injury]

Afterwards, there is always at least a little shame that lives on in YOUR

Shame.  Your children are raised to make good decisions because of shame,
as well as fake applause?  Are your people well?  Don't they get slow and
apathetic when nourishing their families?
