WOW that's pretty tonedeaf. remember David Foster Wallace? "Consider the Lobster"? Here's a reminder: ▶ this video
> They don't have brains or central nervous systems, I would very highly recommend reading David Foster Wallace's Consider the Lobster . You can either buy the book of the same name which includes other essays or here's a PDF of the original article: link and here's a video of DFW reading it out: ▶ this video
Love that whole series of essays in the Consider the Lobster collection - you can also listen to several of them on YouTube and I have to say Wallace’s tone when reading the essays makes them more enjoyable ▶ this video
