So Kira said that it's uncomplimentary to describe
someone as a "Dilatant" and a "Butterfly on a
Wheel."
I don't know why.
"Dilatant" appears synonymous with "Dilettante" --
described as a "Dabbler," someone who follows
a pursuit out f fun. Kira seemed to think they
were sort of a "Jack of All Trades, Master of
None" with broad knowledge, something she
described as useful for all by a Jeopardy
appearance.
...seems more of a subjective interpretation
on her part.
And "A Butterfly on a Wheel" is a Brit terms,
according to the Interwebs, meaning a strong
or great deal of effort. They used to strap people
to a wheel and torture them, so doing that to a
butterfly would be excessive.
Thus, "A Dilatant, a Butterfly on a Wheel" would
be someone who pursues a hobby or subject
for pleasure to a great extant.
Is that bad?

Are you suffering those "Kira" hallucinations again, deary?
The shrinks haven't helped you yet, so I'd recommend you
seek an exorcist for help.

Not "Useful" but "Useless."

She thought, SHE SAID it was useless.

You may call me "The Prophet, JTEM" but I don't think it appropriate
to refer to me as God.
AND it wouldn't be appropriate to tough my bum.
