I must not reply. Replying is the mind-killer. Replying is the little-death that brings total obliteration.

I will face the bad take. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the take has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.

Wtf. I tried to find the original, to edit my post to quote them, and instead found my own toot shared on FB...

Or maybe I got the idea from a screenshot of https://www.threads.net/@palapid/post/C0c2aRJxQTc ?

Yeah, I think this was probably a "standing on the shoulders of giants" situation rather than a "pinched outright" situation.

No, I'm wrong. Apparently I *did* pinch it from someone, and expanded it. I know because I found this old image while rummaging through my phone.
