Zardoz Page #4

Vote please. Vote please.

I'm voting for him, Monster.

It won't do any good. Nothing ever does.

Absolute acquittal.

Go on, Monster.

Help yourself.

Didn't Zardoz tell you

about the apathetics?

It's a disease.

And it's slowly creeping

through all the vortexes.

That's why Zardoz made you grow crops.

To feed these people.

We can't support them any more.

Apathetic or renegade...

make your choice.

Yes. A bit frightening, isn't it?

Very good.

Now you're beginning to show yourself.

Final votes. For: Nine.

Against:
586. Undecided: 86.

Welcome to paradise.

Penic erection was one of the many unsolved

evolutionary mysteries of sexuality.

Every society had an elaborate subculture

devoted to erotic stimulation.

But nobody could quite

determine how this

becomes this.

We all know

the physical process involved,

but not the link

between stimulus and response.

There seems to be a correlation

with violence, with fear.

Many hanged men died with an erection.

You are all more or less aware of our

intensive researches into the subject.

Sexuality declined probably because

we no longer needed to procreate.

Eternals soon discovered that

erection was impossible to achieve.

And we are no longer victims

of this violent, convulsive act,

which so debased women and betrayed men.

This brutal, like other primates

living unselfconscious lives,

is capable of spontaneous

and reflexive erection.

As part of May's studies

of this creature,

we are trying to find once again the link

between erotic stimulation and erection.

This experiment will measure autoerotic

stimulation of the cortex leading to erection.

Play.

The tracer indicates that this image

is not erotically stimulating to the brutal.

Change.

This doesn't seem to affect him either.

Consuella's done the trick herself.

The brutal is now in fourth hour

of unconscious sleep.

It's astonishing that Homo sapiens spends

so much time in this vulnerable condition,

at the mercy of its enemies.

Is there data on sleeping patterns

of primitive people?

- Is that a priority request?

- Yes.

I'm now going to test

its waking response to danger stimuli.

Does it please you to sleep?

Yes.

Why?

I have dreams.

Sleep was necessary for man

when his waking and unconscious

lives were separated.

As eternals achieved

total consciousness,

sleep became obsolete,

and second-level meditation took its place.

Sleep was closely connected with death.

Look at it. It's you.

Your genetic structure. Your life chart.

Look.

You are a mutant.

Second, maybe third generation.

Therefore genetically stable.

Enlarged brain.

Total recall.
