->''You take a lever and a pulley and a winch and a wedge,\\
You get a labyrinth of aqueducts and pyramid steps\\
Before the Jesus, Archimedes on that miracle tech\\
Year Zero, you could feel the future rearing its head\\
Put a shoe on a horse, shoot a man with a gun,\\
Steam power, bifocals, and mechanical funk,\\
Manipulate electricity, no, it cannot be done,\\
Yes it can, ain't a dam that can cancel the flood''
-->-- '''Music/AesopRock''', "Mindful Solutionism"
