I love Gestalt! I’m glad you made this connection because I hadn’t thought about it before this. If Gestalt was here I think he would have taught Gedi.

I’m glad you agree! It was great to hear your response to my post and I’m grateful that you found it insightful. Here’s hoping we see more integration in the future.

Quick Response: Because Sound system is a proper noun. Check your human privilege.
Serious Response: I don’t believe so. I think that cost will always be a factor in any production within a mortal society. As long as our time is limited and quantifiable it is a resource we will barter with.
