Well, med school might be related to the 3-year pause thing.
Honestly, the situation was just too absurd/twisted/funny not to write about. I also had nothing to do yesterday so that helped.
I'm gonna write a part two about everyone turning against me, thinking I'm a bot haha.

Interestingly, a few hours after the posthuman.blog post circulated on reddit yesterday, the embedded amazon link at the end of the original post was suddenly edited out.
