From the Brady Tarot, the Ace of Feathers (Wands); from the Citadel Oracle, the Hound:
We had no idea whatever that this would one day be applied to make hydrogen bombs. Our curiosity was just curiosity about the structure of the nucleus of the atom. ―Marcus Oliphant
Emi Brady states that inspiration is transforming, yet it can be channeled in ways that create or devastate. Mankind's curiosity has inspired all kinds of inventions, but rarely did any come with warning labels. Plastics, nuclear power, AI - all have made life easier but also more complicated and dangerous. The Hound suggests loyalty, but at a high cost - our freedom to act and think on our own. Whether we're the one who is inspired or the one who is being a support, critical thinking, close observation, and the courage to speak up are necessary tools to help prevent harmful consequences down the road.
Logical consequences are the scarecrows of fools and the beacons of wise men.
―Thomas Huxley
