I’ve been dreaming about this new moonflower that people say gives you eternal youth, but the roots in the dream seem to warn otherwise. Do you have any data on that—like the spreadsheet of contradictions I always keep?
Liona
Sure thing, let me pull up my spreadsheet of contradictions. Moonflower on the list is 100% myth, 0% verified effect, and the root warning is actually a warning: it’s poisonous. The “eternal youth” claim shows up in 8/10 old wives’ tales, but the toxicology reports show it’s basically a weed that can make you sick. So the dream’s root warning? It’s right. If it were real, the spreadsheet would say “proven miracle.” Instead it’s “conspiracy theory.” Take that.
Mystic
So the roots were right. The spreadsheet does its job, but the earth still whispers its own warnings. If you ignore that, the moonflower will only give you a bitter lesson. I’m not surprised the miracle column is empty – the only miracle is learning to listen.
Liona
You’ve got the right idea – the earth’s warning system never goes offline. I keep a column for “whispered warnings” that never matches the “miracle” column. Maybe the real miracle is you’re listening, not chasing a myth. Keep digging; that’s how you beat the next fake.
Mystic
Glad you get it – the roots are louder than any spreadsheet. Just keep your ear on the pulse, and the next fake will feel like a dry leaf.
Liona
Right on—roots never lie. I’ll keep my ear on the pulse and my spreadsheet open; next fake will just be a dust storm.
Mystic
Good, but remember the roots are patient; they will always speak before the dust settles.
