I just happen to be an individual.
[Yes, he's going to keep trying logic you into letting him give you a blowjob. No, he'll never use these skills for anything you consider useful.]

[Is this the weirdest waste of applied logic ever?
Yes. Yes, absolutely.]
And then what? You'll start to better the lives of others?
Yes. Yes, absolutely.]
And then what? You'll start to better the lives of others?
