@nealstephenson I'm re-reading Anathem, and would just like to confirm that when the ancient source described Cnoüs with a word that literally means "one who is elevated", you meant that he was high, right?
Welp, @subspacepowered has gone to live on a farm upstate. It's been a great time and it's a great team! I'm looking for work and so are a bunch of other engineers I can recommend.
