THE NEW OBVIOUS #39:

When someone claims they’ve undergone “ego death” they inevitably become twice as self-important as they were when their ego was alive.

Presumably, the id is now in charge.

And don’t even ask about the super-ego. 

This is basically what happens to the monster in an episode of Power Rangers.

At first, the monster is roughly human sized. And then it gets defeated, it explodes, and then it comes back really big to get defeated again by the Megazords. 

So, whether you realize it or not, you may have grown up witnessing ego deaths on TV.

The ego gets whacked, and now the id of self-aggrandizement has been loosed upon the world.

It’s how it goes.

Have your titanic fighting machines ready to inflict the “id death” to complete the cycle . . .
