I'll be the voice in the wilderness. The noisy one. The rebellious spirit. The unbent, unbowed, and unbroken– the general hooligan, ne'er-do-well, ruffian, stye in Zuck's eye.
If I dissent, I want my enemies to hear.

"Memento Mori II"
The clock is wound, the hands unspool,
a whispered jest, a dying fool.
The silver tarnished, the wine turned sour,
no feast outlasts the final hour.
The rose wilts where lovers lay,
dust consumes what time betrays.
C Theodora

A mind that is easily influenced is a mind that is easily controlled. Psychological manipulation thrives when people stop thinking critically and instead absorb narratives without question.
