What is the most resilient parasite?
A bacteria? A virus?
An intestinal worm?
An idea.
Resilient. Highly contagious.
Once an idea has taken hold of the brain, it's almost impossible to eradicate.
An idea that is fully formed, fully understood, that sticks.
An idea is like a virus. Resilient. Highly contagious. And the smallest seed of an idea can grow. It can grow to define... or destroy you.
— I suppose they're gonna lock me up as well... as your accomplice.
— Accomplice? I'm gonna tell them the whole thing was your idea.
A simple idea. Trust myself.
The subject's mind can always trace the genesis of the idea. True inspiration's impossible to fake.
But I did not get to where I am by thinking small.
