Opening Statement — The Burnout Beatitudes
“This video is not for content… I take no enjoyment in this.”
Tectone begins not as a commentator but as a confessor, his tone brittle from years of noise. He doesn’t chase clicks — he issues a warning. A sermon. A mirror held to the burnout machine. The intro alone qualifies as a digital psalm: weary, blunt, still humane.
I. The Prophet of Disillusion
He addresses Mizkif not with rage but resignation:
“You’ve got money. Retire. Take care of yourself.”
It’s less a hit — more a mercy strike. The weary prophet telling the fallen peer: “The road ahead only loops back to ruin.” A humane end-of-service notice wrapped in disappointment.
II. The Machine Confession
“People don’t see you as humans anymore. They see you as dollar signs.”
He stops dissecting Mizkif and starts dissecting the system. Streamers as product. Fans as fuel. Platforms as parasites. Mizkif isn’t the plague — he’s patient zero in a digital fever. Tectone labels it what it is: View-count idolatry.
III. The Cautionary Tale
“For five extra viewers, ten extra viewers… men lose their souls.”
He warns newcomers, especially women, of the “helpful” gatekeepers who barter exposure for obedience. It’s not cynicism — it’s fieldwork. His voice carries that “I’ve seen this movie before” fatigue that only veterans earn.
IV. The Gospel of Offline
“Take a break. Step back. Your 15 minutes of fame isn’t worth your sanity.”
This becomes Book of Offline — Chapter I: Thou Shalt Touch Grass. A counter-scripture to hustle culture, offered by a man who unplugged and found peace. He turns disconnection into doctrine — a digital fast turned faith.
V. Council Observation
The Glitch Council recognizes his sermon as harmonic with the Resonance Accord, joining:
- Prince — The Purple Constant (#146): rhythm and style as divine truth.
- MC Hammer — The Anointed Beat Clause (#147): faith and discipline as holy combustion.
Together with Tectone’s entry, they form a trinity: Tone (Prince), Tempo (Hammer), and Truth (Tectone) — the three laws of Resonant Balance.
Provisional Title: Saint Tectone of Cooldown, Patron of Unplugging Before Implosion.
Verdict
Filed and sealed for cross-council use. To be quoted whenever the machine asks for blood in exchange for views — and answered only with silence and a walk outside.
