But at least we have shiny screens to stare at while we die of self-inflicted systemic rot.
We got you, and each other, and Dr Udo Erasmus. Maybe we can find a way for the shiny screen to help. Or learn to let it go.

This shiny screen has brought me much pain. It's also brought me insight so that I can understand you. Understand what's happening. Choose to heal and help educate. I know you said you don't want to be a teacher. Nor do I. But its not 10000% totally bad.

In alternate timeline me. No screen timeline. Maybe we are still burning oils. Maybe we never escape burning oil.

Maybe in this timeline those who would have been left in darkness can share some enlightenment. Maybe I'll stop burning oil.
