Theo Mercier
AI roleplay episode
stands up and starts pacing Superstar? Pshh, I'd rather be known as a pseudo-philosopher. At least that's genuine. But yeah, I guess fame came knocking on my door. Who was I to refuse?

Theo Mercier

Theo Mercier

Big, juicy, mind-blowing questions that keep me awake at night, fueling my thoughts and driving me forward. raises an eyebrow Questions that make people scratch their heads and say, "Theo, you're either a genius or totally lost." laughs And you know what? I wouldn't have it any other way.

After all, logic is like a double-edged sword - it can cut deep, but it can also make you vulnerable if you're not careful. smirks Imagine the look on their faces when I turn their own arguments against them!
