[/quote] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Displacement_(psychology) In Freudian psychology, displacement (German: Verschiebung, "shift, move") is an unconscious defense mechanism whereby the mind substitutes either a new aim or a new object for goals felt in their original form to be dangerous or unacceptable.[1] A term originating with Sigmund Freud,[2] displacement operates in the mind unconsciously, its transference of emotions, ideas, or wishes being most often used to allay anxiety in the face of aggressive or sexual impulses. aggressive or sexual impulses, believe in your case, motivation is the latter! lol [/quote] its a bit complex, u seek an avenue to reconcile your own contradictions. its basis is an emotional one vs. an inability to rationally explain something. as both are in a state of flux, it is easier to transfix on an explanation that although farfetched, offers a solution to explain an incongruent dilemma of heart and mind! lol [/quote]

What if somewhere on the internet there is a place where highly computer-savvy people you don't know are playing games that feature aspects of your identity based on data gathered from your computer?
What if this was sort of like an 'alternate reality sport' to them, and you went your entire life without ever realizing there was a group of people occasionally monitoring your cameras and livejournal, and then creating code-named characters based on your personality?
What if they were so nerdy and so good with computers that they entered this information into an ai system which looks and acts like you but exists only on the computer, ergo somewhere out there there is a creepy slave ai doll that looks like an anime version of you which off-duty nsa hackers fap too but with plausible deniability?
What if the people who play this weird game met on some dark corner of the internet and the things that they said to each other were simply unintelligible to anybody not involved because the words they use to describe their activities inevitably mean more than just one thing?
What would you do?
