How can you make Gnosticism and Neoplatonism relevant to a modern audience? That was the thought going through the bewildered man's mind as he sat on his study seat typing sequences of words on his keypad. He could be writing code, programming the mechanical arm of a intergalactic spaceship; training the robtic devide to carefully tiptoe on the fragments of meteorites while mining for precious metals, and still the sequence of 0s and 1s beautifully coming together to create this robotic choreography would appear more entertaining and relevant to the vast majority of sentient human beings, than what he was putting down as lecture notes. He contemplated another break. He contemplated leaving things as they are, filling the remaing three pages of dense writing for the following day. He struggled with guilt. He was concerned that his work ethic was collapsing and he still has not made a decision.
