Drustorid talk.

The Drustorid Caaehthulhe, a tall, slender, impossible to look at creature from, as the Drustorids described it "The Cotengelegnetoc athwart of Domn" was talking to Methbert Athualson and Tonambin Muirfreyn. Methbert was a doctor of physics at some university, and Tonambin was a prominent spiritualist, and they were milling around at some soiree or party after the Drustorids had come to Mheunthobt, third planet from the sun Commigue, in the Belphrendent starwhorl.

Methbert: "There is no such thing as telepathy. Your televised Orgasm-Rituals are nothing but a load of hooey! And look at your sponsor lists!"
Tonambin: "It keeps the money coming in for my pedicures. How much sexual gratification do you get from hobnobbing with physicists, anyway? The universe is not made from symbols! Excuse me, I have a text message"
Methbert: "So do I. It's from Caaehthulhe. It says "Behind you".
Tonambin: "Oh, Caaehthulhe sent me that too"

(At this point Methbert and Tonambin become aware that Caaehthulhe is standing behind them.)

Caaehthulhe: "Methbert, do humans gravitationally self-interact?"
Methbert looks puzzled, nods slowly, uncomfortable of the line of reasoning that Caaehthulhe is leading him down.
Caaehthulhe: "Do you further suppose that the in the interaction of mother and child, momentum is conserved?"
Methbert is frowning. His forehead nearly snarls.
Tonambin: "What have you done to the physicist?"
Caaehthulhe: "Your turn, Tonambin. Just because one thinks something exists, does it necessarily exist in the fashion one believes it to?"
Tonambin: "Of course not! Two thousand years ago belief in the Elephant-Whale God was dominant on this continent, and with the Greater Spirituality of the Tomayalg, it was shown that the the Elephant-Whale God was only a minor deity in the Halls of the Aerinir!"
Caaehthulhe: "Or if we were Kermupsman on the Gorsut River some two hundred years ago and I told you there would be world-spanning information network, you would look at me askew, no?"
Tonambin nods "I don't see what you're getting at, though"
Caaehthulhe: "Or that the 'telepathy' that your Greater Spiritualism believes exists can be perfectly described in about three hundred pages in your civilization's present mathematical notation as practiced by Methbert, and that it is probably in your civilization's best interest to figure out what those are."
Tonambin begins to scowl.
Caaehthulhe continues unabated: "Were you aware that the messages that your last three televised Orgasm-Rituals managed to convey in my telepathome language were "My monkey is on fire.", "The laundry machine isn't working." and "Beware of the lemon soaked paper napkins.", despite all the hullaballoo that you've generated, you're really bad at it."
Methbert complains: "So we're both wrong? Gee, that's very ecumenical of you. Very good just popping in our part of the cosmos to tell us we're"
Caaehthulhe: "Methbert, what I am telling the both of you is that you're both right and wrong, but it's really a matter of perspective, and that there are some features of the universe which are naturally invisible to both your perspectives. I could, if I wanted to, give you those three hundred pages and your civilization would be able to graft on gravitational-sensory amplifiers to everyone that would permit your civilization to have a telepathic internet in a matter of several hundred years. I'm not going to. Do you know why?"
Methbert doesn't get it. Tonambin does.
Tonambin says: "Because we're not ready for it. We've seen how disruptive having a world information network is. Could you imagine what that would do if we could, as a species and without the benefit of metaphysical agencies identify every bit of bad karma and do all the necessary emotional routing work to get past a lot of the suck that your civilization is stuck with."
Methbert nods knowingly.
Caaehthulhe continues: "We also want to slow the process down somewhat. Certain unproductive types of memetic empires tend to arise during disruptive technology changes, and avoiding those in your species' tonomyome is important. You'll be better adjusted in the long run."
