You have the languages of Golem IV and Iron Annie in some of Stanislaw Lem's
late eighties fiction - _profle_ is a prognosticated rifle; and that's not
all - sorry, my copy of "A Perfect Vacuum" is buried somewhere, alas, and I
don't remember if I'v got a copy of "Imaginary Magnitude" - it's not in "One
Human Minute", I know, because I've just checked it.  But what do you call
the language of a self-aware computer/philosopher?

You ask, "What is the most important thing?"
Maku e ki, "He tangata, he tangata, he tangata."
I reply, "It is people, it is people, it is people."
