Brave New Weird Volume Two

The World is Weird.

You will be discouraged from participating in it.

However, your participation is not optional.

Zip up your human suit and set sail, imbibing every perspective you can

in order to perfect the persona.

Push to the outer edges. Document your travels, and forget to return.

There will be a test.

Learn what it means to be human.

Forget what it means to be human.

Learn what it means to be human.

Forget what it means to be human.

Do not panic.
