Bateson: 
Pathology is a relatively easy thing to discuss,
health is very difficult.

Laotse:
Pathology is a functional issue for discernment,

unless you have switched our cooperative evolution
for your personal competitive revolution.

By some quirky short circuit.
A drone mutated itself 
and became intelligent
.
