I am haunted by the actions of the most prominent success of my field: P.J. Reddie: he developed an essential part of every modern detection algorithm today. He was disgusted with what he created and left the field.

I fear that my education is worse than useless: that it might be a poisonous asset that traps me into being a perfect fit for jobs that are evil. It is like having my left hand replaced by the monkey's paw: if I use it, awful things will befall mankind.

I don't know what to do here, although I do have a nice pile of money, friends, health, intelligence, mental health, and will. I am still the person who clawed his way out of a torturous hell, and I should be able to figure out how to do so again.
