T-Rex: Writing can be hard, especially if you have to write something new! But not if you're an ancient Greek, because then you can fall back to imitatio!
T-Rex: DIONYSIAN imitatio!
T-Rex: The idea here is that there's a dude named Dionysius who decided that everything worthwhile saying has already been said, but maybe, just MAYBE, it hasn't been said well enough? So you stand on the shoulders of giants and read what they wrote and say "Calm down everybody, I got this" and then you rewrite it! Literature gets better over time as authors rewrite great works over and over again!
Utahraptor: So - remix culture!
T-Rex: Kinda!
T-Rex: Though remixes usually don't replace the original. Here you want progress over time, so you remix, and the remix gets remixed, and then 1000 years later you've produced the ULTIMATE REMIX and then everyone goes home because culture's over.
Utahraptor: Let's do this! Let's remix a single thing over and over!
T-Rex: "Twinkle twinkle little star"!
Off panel: "Sparkle sparkle, tiny space light!"
T-Rex: "Atmosphere can distort starlight, but actually, the light is consistent."
Off panel: "Sometimes I wonder if this is what I was meant to be doing in life"
T-Rex: Holy crap!! This remix... JUST GOT REAL
