He thought to himself that he needed a way to be more lively at these sorts of gatherings, and less idiosyncratic in his interests and speech, that he needed a way to woo the baroness away from the learned talks of David. What he needed was a... Critique of Pure Reason.

The point is that there is no point. We're creating the lost time so that those in search may take less than a million words to find some to call their own.
