Well, now I know why you made that post concerning AI! I hope you'll do more with it. The parallels between the plotting of Fitzpatrick and of the humans could be very interesting and thought provoking.

This is what we call an "oh shit" twist

So I was walking whilst listening to this and had to stop and go "huh, no way" and than "hah, clever, Ben!" a few minutes into the Fitzpatrick reveal. Amazing. Really well written and yet another compelling turn of events. And then a great transition back to the house. Good to check in there as I'd been wondering how everyone was doing.

Glad I had some privacy with this today, b/c I actually said "Oh" and "a-ha" more than once. What a clever turn of events, as only you can pull it off. I'm especially impressed and entertained that you didn't stop at one twist, but added another in the second half. I feel the rope tightening.

Well, that was chilling! And no sooner than I had welcomed AI into my life and had it giving me recipes daily after I’d told it what was in the fridge, I am re-terrified of it 😂 Seriously, though, these twists are something else, Ben. I’m so impressed.

Also, I’ve thought about you, & HH, a lot this week. I had an extremely full on, intense, and fairly heartbreaking week, and I lost count of the times where I thought about the fact that I knew I would have Sunday morning to catch up on HH, and Eleanor’s novel. You guys kept me going. It’s no small thing.

“Fitzpatrick understood the powerful, curative results of a reset. It began calculating the scope of this reset and modeling its downstream effects. It knew with 96% accuracy that within the shadow of such a reset, GreenerTech could be preserved, Cliff Baron’s legacy would remain strong, and his daughter would find new meaning. Humans require conflict and tragedy to acquire meaning.” This paragraph and its insinuation is haunting!

Now THERE is a twist - was that suggested by AI??? Does AI twist every road to lead back to AI in our new era? 🤣 All of this has given me a fun idea for a post or story, which I'll try to work on at some point... How many more episodes do we have now, just 6? Dearie me. 💜
