HELLO
IS THIS YOUR HOME?
WHO ELSE LIVES HERE?
DO ALL OF YOUR BODIES SEE?
HOW DO YOU MAKE MATTER(S)?
IS THIS JUST THE WAY YOU LIKE IT?
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE
BETWEEN THIS
AND THIS?
WE HAVE IDENTIFIED SIX (6) WAYS THAT HUMANS SEEM TO FEEL
IN ATTEMPTS TO ASSIMILATE, WE ENACT EACH
"HUNGRY"
"I DON’T UNDERSTAND"
"I DON’T CARE"
"IT MAKES ME HAPPY SO I KEEP DOING IT"
"LIFE DEPENDS ON IT"
"READY FOR THE WORLD TO END"
PLEASE INFORM US IF OUR INTELLIGENCE IS FLAWED
