Cat and Girl are spending a Sunday afternoon on the island of La Grande Jatte. 'Believe in education begins as a practical step,' says Girl. 'A potential pathway to a higher standard of living. The education itself becomes a virtue - isn't it GOOD to learn? To be curious about the world? Then you look around - at the most successful people in society - and see society's most self-satisfied, least curious members - with thoughts only for their own dominance - so why learn ANYTHING if it doesn't directly benefit me? Am I just a SUCKER?' They now look out across the island's far shore, and then walk into the waves. 'Yet I still believe,' continues Girl, 'even if the beliefs is negative - even if it's a relic - the Edwardian women still wearing a bustle when the rest of the world has moved on.

    Referencing a Seurat painting in “What’s the point!?!” – I like that.

    If only I was wealthy enough to be this petty.
