I still discriminate against folks who know only the rote responses they have learned, and are incapable of making changes to their responses based upon the situation as it occurs.

I heard two voices speaking. The first said : “Be wise;
The world is but a large delicious cake, my friend!
It calls for an appetite of corresponding size-
And whoso heeds my counsel, his joys shall have no end.”
The other voice spoke softly : “Come, travel with me in dreams,
Far, far beyond the range of the possible and the known!”
And in that voice was the senseless music of winds and streams
Blown suddenly out of nowhere and into nowhere blown-
A phantom cry, a sound to frighten and captivate.
