A complete brainwash or a damn extensive cocktail of substances.
It's not that I am a great, productive individual, mind you.
But I am a hardcore introvert and my life is boring. Not much to be milked.
I considered cowing on purpose too, since a finely tuned cow can entertain an audience of millions and earn a lot of money as a result, but will probably never actually do it.
Give me a crumb of e fame and I'll go mad with the power and validation and descend into the cow darkness. I'd probably flame out pretty quickly though, and my thread would be inactive pretty fast.(*)
