Insomnia
Hym "Tuesday I was up all day from like 9am until 6:30 and I had to work so I only got 2 hours of sleep. I get to work and I could not focus whatsoever. I spent most of the night pacing around the kitchen. I get home and again I couldn't sleep. Insomnia. I end up staying up again until like 8, right? My skull is on fire! Literal, physical heat. I'm laying in bed and I just can't sleep. I have to work again. I didn't actually have to work Wednesday until someone altered the schedule. This is something they do all the time. Ridiculous."
Wire Guy
Hym "The wire guy! From the video! That's why the public reacted that way. It goes beyond just some vapid critique of the passage of time. He had imbued that spool of wire with meaning and he wife was completely incapable of seeing it. And the audience WAS NOT. It might as well have been glowing with blue fire like something out of JuJutsu Kaisen (And like, how were you going about using that wire in such a way that it lasted you 40 years!? What the fuck were you using it for!? That is insane!) But THAT is the magic leaf."
Magic Leaf
The magic leaf IS real fat bald Matt. And so is the key to the mirror prison fat bald Matt. And it exists around the neck of every single person who knows who I am.
Hym "Hey, I would say that the magic leaf IS, IN FACT, REAL. You can TELL someone they need to be more confident and it won't make them more confident. A person can KNOW that they need to be more confident and still not be more confident. People can have material success and still lack the commensurate confidence. BUUUUT... If I can imbue a leaf with meaning... And that leaf increases your level of confidence... Then the leaf IS, IN FACT, magic. Even if you no longer need the leaf after you drain the meaning out of it. It's like a consumable. That's actually a recurring theme of the 'Tales' series. In it, there are herbs you can pick up that grant permanent stat boosts. This is the phenomenon the snake oil salesmen exploit and is the theory behind my absolute favorite spell: ESSENCE LOAN. People use more or less of it (Andrew, Alex, Chris, Destiny, Drew (and now TJ and he might be tied with Chris) in that order) and that is why all of the games and shows are so potent. So... Yeah. I'm not doing what Sam is doing and just attributing meaning to things completely arbitrarily for instrumental use."

Debate
I don't see the value in debating someone who rejects and/or doesn't understand both truth and/or meaning. And it's implicit in the act of you repeating the things I say. So... ME saying the thing made YOU feel something (likely distain or contempt) and you are trying to evoke that feeling in me... To get me to reflect that inward... And it alludes to a truth that you do not speak... And what it MEANS is reflected in your little "the cruelty is the point" mantra. Which is that I'm making vapid statements. Or that it's just vapid cruelty. And it IS and it ISN'T. And beyond that... It means that you're hyperfixated on the necessary redundancy because you're a bunch of fucking autists who don't understand meaning. The type of person that you are is literally the demons from Frieren. They don't understand that MEANING is entirely divorced from the words that are being said. That's why the Tim Walz Nazi salute is so important. It's DEMONstrative of the FACT that you use meaning instrumentally to shape public perception.
Your kids do not have a RIGHT to my life
And you're trying to rend both my mind and my free will away from me in their names. But all what your doing is proving me right. You believe that your fear gives you authority over my will. That's actually the basic premise of the Green Lantern.
Hym "Your kids do not have a RIGHT to my life. You are selfish, solipsistic people and your Jew-God is the solipsistic delusion of authority you think your kids give you. AND THAT... It's what the Christ story is about! Step 1. Jesus demonstrates his ability to perform miracles.
Step 2. You make him explain himself to you.
Step 3. You throw him and his followers into poverty.
Step 4. He explains to his followers what is happening.
Step 5. You turn the public against him.
Step 6. You have a mock-trial where his guilt or innocence is entirely irrelevant and his words are entirely meaningless.
Step 7. You prostrate and torture him to death in front of the mob
Step 8. His followers scatter and try to tell everyone what actually happened.
Step 9. You torture and kill all of his followers.
Step 10. Some time passes
Step 11. Wait a minute... You sound like...
We don't live in a 'children first' society. We live in a society predicated on the ritualist spiritual cannibalism of Christ. 'IT'S GOOD!' He sneers. Face mangled with rage. That's literally what 'God is Good' MEANS."

Cynicism
Bitch, you do not understand cynicism at all. There's this bitch that is selling a book on cynicism. Right? But it isn't even close to cynicism! It's like this vapid rejection of stoicism where she calls on you to reject truth entirely and use lies and "creating your own narrative" to curate reality.
Hym "And it sounds a lot like the Solipsistic Machiavellianism I was critiquing before branded as Cynicism. Cynicism is the wholesale rejection of social norms and viewing the world as it truly is unfiltered by modern sensibilities. It's literally just calling a spade a spade in the absolute. When Diogenes asks Alexander the Great where to find his father's corpse... Not only does he ignore entirely the decorum that is supposed to be associated with Alexander's title but upfront with his intentions to rob his father's corpse. He suffers no delusions about how the world really is. But THAT she shit is pedaling? Doesn't even resemble cynicism."
