Hmm. Thought-provoking, my dear friend. Just one small thing: "Wherever far we can get" seemed a bit confusing to me. I know what you're trying to say, though. Lem :)

I wouldn't change anything here. You come up with some constructions that a native English speaker would never have thought of in a million years. "How we were made us," for example, and the one Lem pointed out above. Don't correct it, it's perfect as it is!
