Fuckin' hell, I feel like a kid in 2226 reading this on some kind of wall plaque after it was discovered in the cautionary history archives that survived the great fires. I think it struck me when I read this line:

the rot is far too deep, and the purification of chaos is, unfortunately, the only remedy

It's just a very elegant way to describe the btshit craziness of living in "interesting times."

Oh and hey future people who have presumably learned to be excellent to one another: put me in the plaque! It's a thing we used to do on this old internet here with screenshots, you see.
