There are so many more subtle forms of Freudian slips that go unrecognized… the analogy you choose to explain something, the examples you give, the way you move your body when you’re recalling an event. We are bleeding information… most humans don’t notice, but computers will.

I’m trying to become an Untriggerable Human Being. Anytime something comes close to “triggering” me I dive deeper into it until it doesn’t anymore. Why give something more power when you could take it away instead. Most things don’t pose *real* threats or require mental energy.
