Great essay. Thanks for linking me to it.

It really hit me at a right time, for it, too, as I alluded to in the post—but it did. It's sort of breathtaking that Sisyphus could just walk away—great metaphor for ourselves.

I’m glad it connected with you. Hope something good and meaningful can come out of our work here.

I think so. I just quit a job where the people were gangstalking me. And I was thinking of your article, not as a reason, but as a reflection. Thank you for your work.

Thank you. Hope you find your way again soon.

I made this video about the gangstalking, and it is basically this message here, as well. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7twLgsky9w4

Listened to it (not watched the bioshock footage which is one of the most depressing game for me). Your frustrations are eerily relatable.

Oh, wow, thank you. I appreciate your looking at it. Yeah, it’s been tough, and Bioshock is depressing. The second one goes after the Devouring Mother, though, so that’s a surprise.

Only played number one and three. Now I’m intrigued… the devouring mother…

Yes! Sofia Lamb, the Andrew Ryan of the second game. There’s a part where she says, “This is an act of love,” near the beginning of the game, and has a bunch of guys try to take you out.
