Alexander would probably be serving life in a high-security jail.
Be careful about any insults (with humorous intent) you make towards Agent Smith. If he is true to his character, he can send one of his many matrix replicants to take possession of your wife and then goodness knows what he as she, might do to you! :scream: — universeness
Diogenes syndrome is a disorder characterized by self-neglect, domestic squalor, apathy, compulsive hoarding of garbage and more importantly lack of shame — Hillary
If you neglect both sides of your body à la Diogenes, your brain is perfectly fine! You're in fact considered a sage. — Agent Smith
↪universeness :grin: — Agent Smith
So it was actually Alexander being mad? — Hillary
I don't think Diogenes needed mental health care actually! And he certainly would have refused. — Hillary
That way, we can continue pretending that our particular brand of ‘civilised humanity’ is the only way to be, and that the world and people are ordered and predictable. — Possibility
What do you think of the very old story about the King who was much loved by his subjects?
An enemy poisoned the main water well the subjects drank from and they all went mad after they drank the water.
The people now saw their King in a new light. They hated him, overthrew him, and they kicked him out of the city.
In the dead of night, the deposed King reached the poisoned water well and drank deeply.
The next day, the people celebrated the return of their beloved King.

All who offend thee may perish! Don't f*** with the replicants, that's what I say! — universeness
I didn't get it! — Agent Smith
Most interesting! — Ms. Marple
Horror films that dramatise the supernatural have little impact on me — universeness
I am reminded of a scene from Carl Sagan's film Contact. I searched for it on youtube but to no avail.
Ellie as a child, can't get to the heart pills in time to save her father. The usual moronic local priest speaks to her at the funeral of her father and he tries to comfort her by suggesting that she pray to god and receive its solace. She utters the brilliant words 'should have kept some pills in the downstairs kitchen.'
Ain't it the truth! Well done Carl! Good writing! — universeness
You're on the right track! Keep going — Agent Smith
Yeah, Jody Foster, the typical female atheist! The film has made a critical mistake.. — Hillary
To err is human, to forgive is ........... also human! — universeness
She utters the brilliant words 'should have kept some pills in the downstairs kitchen.'

Kali Yuga! :chin: — Agent Smith
And behold, the alien beings show themselves in the shape of daddy. A scary type with white hair who blows up the capsule is introduced to warn us against the irrationality of anti-science. Dangerous! They terrorize! Why shouldn't gods be able to offer solace? But the worst of all, Sagan didn't learn basic science which he so worships! Again, like Dawkins, a scientist who is a bad physicist. Trying to compensate by being atheist! — Hillary
