The Fredösphere

One of the games to which [the human race] is most attached is called "Keep tomorrow dark," and which is also named..."Cheat the prophet." The players listen very carefully and respectfully to all that clever men have to say about what is to happen in the next generation. The players then wait until all the clever men are dead, and bury them nicely. Then then go and do something else. That is all. For a race of simple tastes, however, it is great fun.
