Severity of our society's failings require extreme ideas if ever we were to restore some semblance of balance.
[reading from DeVoe's journal] Technology has become a cancerous cell in our social biology. Excising [DeVoe tries and fails to grab the journal] would require a total purge, not only of the material world, but also human consciousness? This is not valance! This is lobotomizing people.
This is rebooting the masses' brains, to let them forget their technological crutches. They are babies with pacifiers.
How and who will teach them? You, professor? How does any of this help humankind?

[Marlize gives DeVoe back the journal and walks out]
