Day Fifteen
Stick to those practices you know to be safe or proper.
This honestly makes no sense to me at all. “Safe or proper”? Humanity would no longer exist if it was always safe or proper! The species as a whole would have been trod to dust under the feet of who-knows-how-many other animals by now if it had stuck to the safe and proper. Maybe some people find this desirable. But putting it in a fortune cookie for Ed to find after a meal seems to me an odd way to spread a message of self-annihilation. Because that is most definitely what this message represents. The safe, the proper, the unchanging: they are our most profound enemies, our greatest evils. We must never be safe, never be proper; for within these things are the fossil and the wasteland.
