Hi everybody this is Gad Sad many of you are by now familiar with my battle cry in

chapter 8 of the parasitic mind where I ask people I implore people to activate their inner honey badgers.

And of course I use the honey badger as an example because it is such a ferocious and fierce animal.

It takes no shit from anyone. It does not give a F about anything. It

first you could see it's it's dazed because it you know has it been breathing

I mean it had literally the life being sucked out of it now most animals of any

species at that point to the extent that they have narrowly escaped death, would just run away.
