"The smart ones sense it coming in themselves, Alvin, 

and take steps to turn back. Do you fear for yourself?"

"Yes, but happily less and less as time goes by. 

I only called you because my girlfriend keeps insisting."

"Ah, yes, Stage Three. The further you progress on the NC,

the further you recede on the IC.""

"...NC? ...IC?"

~

"The Nincompoop and Intelligence Continuums. Imagine piloting

 a plane, coast to coast, and approaching Denver in the middle."

~

"The Point of No Return."
