Quotes
“...in isolation, human minds tend to get strange, like a self-portrait painted from memory, in the dark, using a live snake as a brush.”
I'm Starting to Worry About This Black Box of Doom, Chapter 11 “There's an old saying that a child not embraced by the village will burn it down to feel its warmth. I'd update it to say the child not sufficiently entertained by the village will burn it down for the spectacle.”
I'm Starting to Worry About This Black Box of Doom, Chapter 23 “Your heroes aren't gods, they're just regular people who probably got good at one thing by neglecting literally everything else.”
