Only a fool seeks for the fountain of youth when he should be having children. Perhaps the next culture has already been born, or it sits somewhere embryonic, obscure, ignored, colossus potential within it. If it does, we should seek it out. But beware. To you, my over-civilized reader, it will seem frightfully crass and barbaric. A Mongol to the Han, a Pict to the Roman. Born in mud and blood it will grow, in time, into high art and supreme accomplishments. It will colonize Mars and extend its rule beyond the reach of our sun’s gravity. It will have its own central symbol, its own mortal sin that will eventually fester within it and bring it down. You are not a part of this Culture, not yet and maybe not ever.

I am asking you to pledge your allegiance to something that has not been born. Something your children may see only the faintest stirrings of, which in a hundred years may not have yet come into its full might and glory.
