If you’ve ever seen The Princess Bride, there is a scene where a desperate Prince Humperdinck rushes down to Westley in the pit of despair and maxes out the life-sucking machine. It is an ostensible act of murderous outrage rooted in frustration and failure to control a false narrative.
It’s a Race against Time, and It’s the Only “Race” That Matters.
