Whether a man is a criminal or a hero is a matter of perspective.

But if you don't want to play your role anymore, and are removed from your motivation for being who you are, what do you do? Do you seek redemption and rehabilitation and transform as an individual, or do you repeat negative behavior? How much do you believe people change only because they are imPorted? In short, do you believe people can change?

If I had anybody willing to discuss this in private with me, I assure you, I'd not be raising the issue publically.

Thank you in advance.

It was, actually.

You're a businessman. Don't you value creativity?

[Ok. No, Alfie probably isn't interested, he thinks. But it's banter.]

[devoutish]

I do, yeah. Yeah, I can appreciate a good creative venture.

[restingstitchface]

Yes, well, I am scientist.

Like some businessmen, I value creativity and appreciate a good, creative angle to my work. I suppose that's what this is, essentially.

[devoutish]

You're a head doctor, aren't you?

[restingstitchface]

Yes, but I further humanity's understanding of the mind. And, unlike many of my associates, develop my own tools to do so. Chemistry! Medicine is an applied science, that is true, but we do use pharmaceuticals.

[Yes he is. No he isn't. He likes to think so.]

[devoutish]

Mm, yeah.

And what do these pharmaceuticals do?

[restingstitchface]

They take you places.

[They also calm your thoughts, help your speech and induce drowziness. But who's counting that?]

[devoutish]

Hallucinations, then? And what's the usefulness of that?
