all matter is vapor. i saw the film charley last night about charley who is retarded and then undergoes an experiment with excision and enzymes and gets brilliant but it doesn't last like with algernon and all the other experimental mice and he knows it won't last when he sees algernon die and when he is asked about what the world is and will be he has a brutally clear vision of technology and human vacancy and war and then he goes back to the old charley he was before technology.
