In light of KingCobraFJS's passing I am enthused to examine myself.

Many things separate us. From a distance.

What truly remains when the "specifics" of someone and "their ego" are rendered down to produce a function of one's own willpower and will to live.

A man slave to his impulses until it likely killed him. Driven to spend his UBI money on short-term impulses that have long-term consequences.

I got a pizza from Little Caesar's. It was $8. It sits next to me untouched and will likely until "midnight tonight". Because exercising self control cannot hurt.
