Not with that attitude.

Also I lack the funds to unravel the very fabric of reality. You needs quite a bit of serious hardware to make such things happen.

So he takes an innocent's vision

Meet the sanity assassin
A trick of mind or the devil's whim
On the way to tomorrow's dream
He's fading away

The last bullet-point on the TET rules in the OP is meant to be a cryptic summary of why the title was chosen. "Always look on the bright side of life" is a summary dating back a few TETs. Say, how about you place that as the new (not-so-)cryptic summary? Or have I got the intention of that bit completely wrong?

The West won the world not by the superiority of its ideas or values or religion … but rather by its superiority in applying organized violence. Westerners often forget this fact; non-Westerners never do.

The most fundamental problem of politics is not the control of wickedness but the limitation of righteousness.
