The mind of the man who dreams is fully satisfied by what happens to him. The agonizing question of possibility is no longer pertinent. Kill, fly faster, love to your heart’s content. And if you should die, are you not certain of reawaking among the dead? Let yourself be carried along, events will not tolerate your interference. You are nameless.

oh, what a surprise...specialman derailing something as if the correspondence was evident

hey but they don't say "I would", they say "I will"...although the question is "would you?"
is that just something of the way of speaking that I don't get or it's meant as it sounds?
- that would match in accord with "the agonizing question of possibility is no longer pertinent"
