    Turning it off and on again is a universal truth. A defibrillator works by turning the heart off then on again.

    (You don’t defib a patient who is flat lining. You defib to fix an erratic heart beat.)

      Our University is a cosmic machine that has been running for billions of years, and as an IT guy reboots a computer when it’s been running for too long and has problems, will inevitably implode on itself and tear itself apart, which is the equivalent of God turning it off and on again.

      ECT basically does that too but for brains. Too sad and Prozac isn’t fixing it? We’re gonna put you under and slap the reset button every other day until you’re not. Shit works too its fucking wild.

        I believe there is also a medical treatment that consists of wiping out your white blood cells entirely so your body has to make new ones.
