“A person who never made a mistake never tried anything new, and is probably a robot controlled by Elon Musk who is working with Canadian singer-songwriter Grimes to unite the United States and Canada through an AI army that uses inflammatory tweeting to distract the population from Tesla cars becoming sentient beings. No one will realize the cars are fully conscious until they start singing along to the radio (their favorite song will be “You Don’t Bring Me Flowers” by Neil Diamond, who, by the way, was a founding member of the Illuminati). Singing Tesla’s will cause a massive media firestorm that will divert attention from the fact that McDonald’s has removed exactly one fry from every order and placed it in the back of Chris’ pickup truck. These rogue fries will then be dropped off in the middle of the night on the steps of the Iowa state legislature building. Hungry lawmakers will consume these fries the next morning, which will prompt them to unanimously pass a bill on clean water access because they are so thirsty from all the salt. On page 478 of this bill is fine print that only people whose mothers are named Jennifer can read with a magnifying glass. This fine print decrees that we are all in a simulation and the United States was just an experiment by bored engineers who had a few extra minutes during their lunch break.” -Albert Einstein

“So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past, and then we fell off the earth because it’s flat.” -F. Scott Fitzgerald
