What angers me is the loss of control. At any moment someone could come to me, be dressed the right way and use the right code, and I no longer have free will. I will do anything that person requests. I hate them for that. Nothing else is as bad as knowing that I am always out of control; knowing that I am still a laboratory experiment, a puppet whose strings are hidden from everyone but my handlers, and I don’t yet know how to break free.

the hidden agenda is unfortunately deceptively effective
But it doesn’t always stay hidden.
