“I’ve considered a kinder view of myself since my experience with the Machine—like an introduction to a new way of thinking, a reintroduction to me. Something about seeing yourself from outside your own bubble allows you pierce it, and peer deeper inside, as if you’ve gained second sight. I even had my own brainstorm: The beauty of the Machine to Be Another isn’t just the ability to be an other for a few minutes, but to become another. To evolve into a new you.”
