Genuinely one of the best characters on the wikidot. I love her so damn much. Deeply weird and troubled woman. I sketched a design of her recently with her evil memory munching purse dog

i found this weird book in my room this morning….i dont remember buying it…..every time i try to read it i get distracted and forget i have it…can someone help me identify this book?

new five corkboard just dropped! inspired by this TINAD quote:

It's plastered across the wall in the background of the video, plain as day, a meticulous collage in green, easily two metres in diameter and showing the same meme complex to a hundred times the level of detail. There are smaller diagrams of different elevations arrayed around it like spores, and its arms are spread wide around the seated Wheeler, who sits directly in front of the mouth, with her back to it.

artist's commentary & closeups below the cut!

More specifically, the line "Our mission statement is 'Secure, contain, protect'. Somewhere down the line we really should look into adding 'and keep as many human beings alive as possible' to that."

Because this part says so much about him.

DISCLAIMER I have no idea if all this was said before, if it is extremely obvious, and/or if I'm misinterpreting to hell and back.

Anyway.

Let's start with the fact that, when asked about the ethics of killing every sapient being, he turns to the Foundation's mission statement. This isn't about ethics or the preservation of human life, this is about containment. He sees the Foundation's goals as more important than what they were made for: humanity.

We are looking at a STEM major who was not taught the humanities. Tragic, I know.

Secondly, pick and choose much? How about "We die in the dark so that you can live in the light"? He picks the moto that fits his claim, even though there is more that proves him wrong.

He is loyal to the Foundation, even more than he is to humanity, but he also doesn't understand it.

And finally. He's not even correct about the moto.

"Secure the anomalies, contain the anomalies, protect the anomalies. How does it scan otherwise?"

Two of these make sense. Unfortunately, one doesn't. What does "Secure the anomalies" do that "contain the anomalies" doesn't?

Because it's not "Secure the anomalies". It's "Secure information", as in, from the general public. To complete the trio, we have "Contain the anomalies", as he said, and "Protect humanity". How does it scan otherwise?
