Ο Άλαν διάβασε πως αυτοί που ξόδευαν πολύ χρόνο στη μαύρη πλακέτα τους έχαναν την ικανότητα του διαλόγου. Η πλακέτα είχε την ιδιότητα να μιλάει στον ιδιοκτήτη της παρά με αυτόν. Οι άνθρωποι περιφέρονταν στο διαδίκτυο και άφηναν άλλους να σκέφτονται για τους ίδιους, με αποτέλεσμα να οδεύουν προς το να γίνουν βλάκες. Ο Άλαν ανησύχησε οταν συνειδητοποίησε πως η αλήθεια εχανε έδαφος παράλληλα με την νοημοσύνη. Παλιότερα ήταν εύκολο να ξέρει κανείς τι ήταν αλήθεια και τι όχι. [...] Αλλά επειδή οι άνθρωποι δεν μιλούσαν πια μεταξύ τους, νικούσε αυτός που έλεγε το ίδιο πράγμα περισσότερες φορές."-Jonas Jonasson, The Accidental Further Adventures of the Hundred-Year-Old Man (The Hundred-Year-Old Man, #2)

"Η ανθρώπινη λογική λειτουργούσε ως εξής: πάρα πολλοί θεωρούσαν εαυτούς εξτρεμιστές. Οσο οι Σουηδοί Δημοκράτες ήταν ό,τι πιο εξτρεμιστικό είχε να προσφέρει η Σουηδία, θα υπήρχαν πάντα αρκετοί που δε θα τους ψήφιζαν, όσο δίκαιο και να συμφωνούσαν οτι είχαν. [...] Αν παρ'όλα αυτά συνέβαλλε σε μια εναλλακτική ψήφο, δεξιά απο αυτούς που ήταν στην άκρα δεξιά, τότε θα συνέβαιναν 2 πράγματα: πρώτον, οι Σουηδοί Δημοκράτες θα σήκωναν το δάχτυλο δείχνοντας τους νεοναζιστές και θα έλεγαν: «Κοιτάξτε πόσο απαίσιοι είναι! Εμείς, ασφαλώς, δεν είμαστε σαν κι αυτούς»· και δεύτερον, ο κόσμος θα συμφωνούσε. Το να ψηφίσει κανείς τους Σουηδούς Δημοκράτες θα ήταν μεμιάς πολύ περισσότερο ευπρεπές και κοινωνικά αποδεκτό.[...] Ο πολιτικός χάρτης ομως θα είχε αλλάξει όρια. Οι συντηρητικοί, οι φιλελεύθεροι και οι σοσιαλδημοκράτες θα είχαν λόγο να αλλάξουν την εξωτερική πολιτική τους. Ελάχιστοι θέλουν να πεθάνουν."-Jonas Jonasson, The Accidental Further Adventures of the Hundred-Year-Old Man (The Hundred-Year-Old Man, #2)
