  5 Copy quote

• The Internet is light at the end of the tunnel. I don't care if it's being used to peddle pornography, I don't care if it's being trivialized in a thousand ways. Anything can be trivialized.

Their greed betrayed them into investing in this in the first place without ever fully grasping what the implications of it were for their larger agenda.

• We are, in fact, hyper-dimentional objects of some sort which cast a shadow into matter, and the shadow in matter is the body.
