What differentiates a starship from an asteroid? A boat from a piece of driftwood? Driftwood has no pilot, only the woven fabric of currents under the surface of the water. So, literally inside any proper vessel is the act of intention on behalf of the pilot. Its vector. And yet there do exist cars without drivers. Architecture may pervade automotive design, but who is the architect of the entire archetype of the car sans driver? Simply put, vehicles could not exist without metallurgy. The archetype of The Chariot owes itself to the envy of mountains. No matter who is driving the vehicle, a metallurgist paved the way for it to even work. Metals themselves are vehicles for currents of electricity and heat, and they must do some special work in conveying energy through the mountains, through the ground under our feet. To move, vehicularly, is to disturb the balance of the environment around oneself. In terms of psychology, to embrace The Chariot means to become a surrealist: to mine the soul's precious veins of creativity, refining the elements of one's own core into something Other. Fundamentally, The Chariot is a means to Otherization.
