I checked an old flash drive I had tucked away looking for Mad Thad's court case but instead found a whole host of insane shit even by my own personal standards. Like what appeared to be the beginning of a book from what seemed like back in High School
>Three pages of text in various fonts
>Italicized for quotes
>No intelligible sentence structure
>Grammar thrown to the wolves
But that aside, I'm curious about what you guys think on where it was going.
>Main character seems to be almost exclusively monologuing
>Story takes place in 2045
>"Media Intelligence Security Bill" signed in 2029 to ensure no "harmful information" was spread
>"Cyber Security Bill" allowed the stringent monitoring of all data as the fear of domestic terrorism grew
>"International Security Treaty" in 2034 removed the privatized internet from people's everyday lives to ensure international peace
>Together this essentially isolated the country from the world
>Takes place some decade later as trust between people, their neighbors, their families, and essentially their schools are at an all time low
And from what else I can gather from this cryptic document, the main character is obsessed with Truth, constantly prattling on to an almost neurotic level about lies, deception, and its ilk being evil. It also seems he's having prophetic like talks with someone from the future, but again this is likely his neurosis or perhaps I was just neurotic at the time of writing about it (circa 2012, I believe).
Everything is cryptically vague, vaguely insane, or insanely cryptic. For example,
>"How many times can one think a thought before that thought because an Idea? One can think a thought as much as one wants, as long as they do not live by the thought..."
Which aside from sounding like someone huffing spraypaint just before trying to pass a high school philosophy test, seems to have been hinting at something more sinister like mental suppression. But fuck, IDK. r8 n h8 me m80
