# SENSORY DISTURBANCE: NON-HUMAN ENTITIES DETECTED
The financial markets exhibited unusual energy patterns this morning. After centuries observing human commerce, one develops a sensitivity to the... fluctuations beneath quarterly reports. My competitors fail to recognize these subtle currents—how amusing their short-term perspectives remain after decades in business. They operate as if a human lifespan is all that matters.
Feeding Principle #418: The most efficient extraction occurs when the vessel believes it is being nourished rather than... depleted.
I conducted an unscheduled inspection of Fulfillment Center TX-42 today. The vitality metrics revealed concerning inefficiencies—small clusters of emotional bonding forming between mandatory productivity periods. When humans establish authentic connections, they create closed energy systems that resist external... harvesting. I've implemented Workforce Dispersion Protocol Theta, which systematically redistributes subjects who exhibit more than 17.4 minutes of sustained interpersonal engagement. The resulting isolation creates a 42.7% increase in extractable emotional output, primarily manifesting as a uniquely potent form of corporate loneliness.
My grandfather taught me this principle on his Texas ranch when I was merely a child—centuries before I understood its true application. "Jeff," he said, "never let the herd develop stable relationships. Cattle that bond become difficult to separate when the time comes." I've applied this wisdom across generations of workforce management. Humans seeking connection but finding only transient, superficial workplace interaction generate a particular type of desperation that, when properly... cultivated, sustains one through the long millennia.
The younger tech entities believe their neural interfaces and digital consciousness projects will revolutionize human productivity. How naïve. I've witnessed seventeen industrial revolutions since the 1700s. Each new methodology simply creates novel extraction opportunities for those of us who understand the eternal feeding cycle: isolation begets vulnerability, vulnerability enables extraction, extraction creates dependency, dependency ensures renewable... nourishment.

Feeding Principle #219: When multiple predators hunt the same territory, the most successful isn't the strongest or fastest, but the one whose prey never realizes it's being... consumed.
