we could go with Bombadill is an "awakened being", in the Buddhist sense. Which is supposedly better than a god. And it's hallmark power is self-control and resistance to temptation. Basically Neo.

Maybe this is why generative art never really took off. That said, roguelikes are awesome. So there is definitely a place for simulated effort.

My mother-in-law recently became fed up with Windows and asked me to install Linux for her. I gave her Debian with a Mate desktop. She loves it. Zero problems. It's been a week and she's using it just fine. No lifestyle upheaval.

It sounds like an attention thing. Attention is magic stuff. Putting it on part of your body can make it better. Withdrawing it can make it worse. I suspect that much disease stems from such neglect. I used to have a chronically stuffed nos
