This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

We're a self-replicating petri-dish neural network grown for millions-billions of years out of evolution from discarded bits of virus data, damage and sheer luck.
We come up with how we think the world works and our brains fill in the gaps to make it true. We had to create the scientific method because we're so intensely impressionable and pattern matching that we can't get shit right without rigorous checks.
We're even pretty sure we don't remember things as much as we remember the last time we remembered it and reconstruct that.
