Alright, we have a total of struggling with the story primarily because we keep going in circles trying to please emphasis emphasis on aspects of the story that maybe just don't need emphasis. I'm really getting frustrated because I'm reading it and then I'm finding that I'm telling this same story in a different context, perhaps when I shouldn't be. So, but maybe there's a way to salvage the work. I don't want the story to sound regundant to sound like the author of the narrator is just repeating the same event. When Adam Fletcher goes as a stroke and then we're keeping the hospital to find out that he has a phase. It shouldn't. It's a fairly behavior-occurring event in a way that sounds like you're just copying the same event. But anyway, I feel like I've lost the whole point of well-services. I don't feel like it. I don't believe the boardman is saying it doesn't. Engage. The reader as much as I thought it would. I mean my words, the words that I wrote, went right over and over again. Maybe that's the problem. I should stop reading. They sound just like I'm someone rambling. But I'm not sure. I just want to go back to what is the most important thing about this story. What am I setting up here in the first chapter? I'm setting up Adam's character. He's someone who has had a traumatic experience in his life. I'm unconsciously trying to create them to augment and I want to create and say a different reality. But to augment his own reality. We all do that. But in this context, in the context of how he has a friend named Google, and how his friend works with augmented reality glasses and how he likes to wear glasses. He doesn't see the world the way everyone else sees it. Maybe he's trying to understand again that everyone else sees the world. So, essentially, when he's trying to teach or serve as a language coach to the others, he learns again basically how to accept his experience. His own disjointed reality. It's a split reality, essentially. He was cured once he got his speech back within two months. But perhaps more lingering things that they didn't pay attention to. Maybe they didn't pay attention to his drug use. His ability to cope with the event because they didn't follow up in that aspect. So, that's another kind of thing to consider. But I think big picture here. The concept of creation is an augmented reality concept. I guess you could say the way artificial intelligence is a false construct because once you have intelligence, it's really artificial. The same thing goes for augmented reality. Once you believe it, is it really something that's augmented? That's something I should emphasize when I talk about how, now it wasn't Sailor once. But now I'm a private. The world was blue to me, but now it's green. And the green. I didn't like that it became green. But I got used to it. And then my blue became green. I also try and figure out what the emotional implications of those colors are. The concept of creation is that one of the first, I mean history itself is augmented. We have to say that. For us, we're not getting it. We have to explain how he's going to talk about an event like it was the original thing. But really, it was probably him just hallucinating on his malaria medication and suffering a stroke from the combination. And so where does that leave him? He, like all the rest of us, now have to figure out what's the point of the story. What's the point of life? Why are you telling me it's one way when it's not? The same goes for almost the way life is in language that you have to speak. If you don't believe in the truthfulness of the words, you won't speak it. So, let's go through this process of trying to figure out, learn from the others. But the one person he can't learn from, or again, it's this, it's this give and take process where he's teaching, he's learning. So, he learned something from each one of us in order to teach them something that he needs to be important. So, the very first meeting with him is believing. And that is what the emphasis is on their glasses, seeing his believing. And then when he tries to take them out, they were lunch. So, let's go understand. The landmark of the American world. So, maybe he could appreciate organic food, maybe he thought it was all the chemical, maybe even the other second. So, he's got poison, self-neutralization, and then a military. Maybe he's a little paranoid in terms of what's put in his body. So, he emphasizes how it should be organic and organic is. What? So, this is something that we, there's a metaphor for truth. He wants the truth, he wants the unfettered existence. And does he find that well? You know, that's what it's he learned in the chapter about the apple. Maybe he learns that. You know, the first thing you have to accept about truth is maybe that it's not perfect. You know, that truth is relative. Because, you know, we can talk about the botany of desire and refer to that as how the apple wants you just as much as you want the apple. So, that's another aspect. But what is the engaging aspect of that chapter? Why would you want to read a chapter on a former soldier trying to explain? To what we used to think were the developing nations. And I have to think of the first, you know, tribe referenced in the Bible. He had to call his group back. But at the same time, he has to be, why is he even there? Okay, again, so I can sit there and find something interesting about the apple. But I have to convince the reader that someone in his position would actually want to be there. So, it's probably a combination of, okay, you know, here it was all excited to find out he's going to work in the startup. John tells him, sorry, it's not ready. I don't have the money yet. He's like, what the hell am I going to do? And he's like, well, we have to find a job. It's as simple as that. So, again, the startup isn't ready. It implies the fall from grace. Okay, so why? Well, because it's having, it's not fall from grace, but it's being cast out of eating, eating, okay. And you know what? It makes more sense now because it visits his father in jail. Okay, we have to talk about what he did. What did he do to be put in jail? Okay, and how does he tell, how does it indicate to the reader what's, how does it serve Adams background? And this is motives. You know, I think about that. What does his father do? It makes total sense that he could visit his father. So, anyway. And of course, the startup not being ready, again, represents having to accept that you're going to have to, and life starts with you. It doesn't start with what you're given. So, you could, you, it's that given take, right? I mean, you don't just find food. You have to know what food is. You have to meet it. Okay, so, you know, it was told there will be opportunity, but it didn't arrive. Okay? And how do you express that? And what is his frustration with it? Okay, and, and landing in Austin has to feel as, as clumsy as falling from the movie. Okay, he has to live with the sins of the father. Okay, and he has drive too often, other things that remind him that he is mortal. Okay, that he's no longer in heaven. And then when he arrives in Austin, he falls flat on his face. Like a, like a child who took his first steps. And where did he land? He landed. I'm going to have to, yeah, I think it's perfect that he landed in a, Takeria. I'm going to be there. I'm going to be there. I'm going to be there. Maybe she was supposed to meet Google too. Maybe Google told her. Okay, so again, she represents the temporary female, but he, he meets, but why in hell would she want to give him a job? That's what I don't know. Maybe she accepts it because he's lost. Maybe. Maybe she needs a scapegoat. I knew she could go. She's planning to rip him off. And, yeah, that makes sense. She's planning to rip Google off and make it look like Adam did it all. So the life lesson that we see Adam doesn't understand is true. Adam doesn't understand how to, how to own faith, how to make faith is. It's one thing that you, you have faith in something. It's another to just blindly trust it. There is an intelligent aspect of faith that has to be. It feels falsely. Are you doing it, Charlie? Oh, good day.
