Hi, trying to post this, as I may be the first to make this connection: Ishmael is the name of a book by Daniel Quinn, a weird tale narrated by a Gorilla consisting of a literate rant against present-day civilization. Can this be the reference made by Cho?
Welcome to Free Republic! yes, I posted it up thread a bit. Not sure if there is a connection but could be.

Welcome to the group! There’s been a fairly extensive discussion of the Quinn book upthread a bit. Nevertheless, thanks for joining the ‘brainstorming’ session.
