Proudly stolen idea

The Machines is like the ocean.
You can't destroy it, but you can change it.
Individualy the difference you make is unsignificant unless you do something truly exeptional. Doing things like that tend to come and bite you in the ass.
Look at what happened to Jesus.
No, better to be in a collective and share the blame.
You live with those people along your strech of beach.

You don't know what started the waves.
You can't see what started the waves.
You can't stop the waves. Even as a collective.
If you want you can float on them,
Or jump into one and get knocked back by its power.
You can also Surf the wave.
This is the most fun.

You still end up back at the shore, just like everyone else, but you have more fun than the floaters and you don't get beaten as much as the jumpers.

Life is a beach.

Try to avoid the jellyfish.

Weirdly, I recently ripped off someone else's idea to make a metaphor based on waves.

Yeah, it was me.
Then you went back in time to write it up.

I was so pissed that you went back and stole my idea that I wrote this.
Which you stole.

Prick.

We haven't talked about The Machine in ages.

I started one a year ago or so on traps the machine sets for people who try to escape it.  Though that turned to a education model debate and clusterfuck.
