Here’s the truth: People, even regular people, are never just any one person with one set of attributes. It’s not that simple. We’re all at the mercy of the limbic system, clouds of electricity drifting through the brain. Every human is broken into twenty-four-hour fractions, and then again within those twenty-four hours. It’s a daily pantomime, one human yielding control to the next: a backstage crowded with old hacks clamoring for their turn in the spotlight. Every week, every day. The angry person hands the baton over to the sulking one and in turn to the sex addict, the introvert, the conversationalist. Everyone is a mob, a chain gang of idiots.”
