Why not use Erlang and make it concurrent? :)

[spawn(fun() -> print("'I will not throw paper airplanes in class.'") end) || N <- lists:seq(1, 500)]

Um. Because writing to stdout will serialize the processes?
What makes you think it's written to stdout?
stdout can be redirected, as to a stream that round robins it to a matrix of printers.
Matrix printers?
of
I'm pretty sure the people in the Matrix will be confused when every printer in the world starts printing out "I will not throw paper airplanes in class." ... Of course, then the agents will reset the system and everyone will just experience deja vu.
Sure, of. But a Matrix of Matrix printers would be nice.
