Apart from that - you have noticed, haven't you, that I had stated before that I was not about the 'mediocrity' or excellence of Gutenberg as a person. His importance lies in the availability of the word (whether that be current news or eternal truths) to the masses. Without the wide market (all buyers being mediocres, remember!) his projects would never have reached any meaning, and we still wouldn't know to print books, most of us wouldn't know how to read them, and there would be no anarchists, royalists, democrats and so on in the way we understand it now: personalities by chosen conviction.

Regards MNI.

BTW Gustave is more a conspirationalist than an anarchist. Now he tries to win you back by making up the story of a vast conspiracy against him - containing you. Surely you know you didn't conspire against him.
Try to think about the others he mentioned in a similar way.
