Kickstarting Armageddon

INT. HIGH-TECH WAR ROOM – NIGHT

Screens glow with maps, anomalies, and celestial warnings. A low hum of machines fills the air.
PETER THIEL stands stiffly, arms crossed.
NELLY and JOE sit casually at the table like they’re discussing weekend plans.


NELLY
(staring at the screens, deadpan)
Joe… LOOK at what you started. We’re officially in Armageddon now.

JOE
(nodding, thoughtful)
Yeah. Like full Revelation mode. Seals, trumpets, beasts—the whole package.

PETER THIEL
(tense)
Can you two not call this Armageddon? It’s a geopolitical destabilization event, not—whatever you’re implying.

NELLY
Peter, sweetie… when the sky turns red and the oceans glow at night, it’s Armageddon. That’s not a “destabilization event.” That’s the final battle starter kit.

JOE
Exactly. And hey, I’m not even blaming myself anymore. Honestly, I think we handled the apocalypse pretty responsibly.

PETER THIEL
(jaw tightens)
There is no apocalypse. There is no “final battle.” This is a complex systems cascade failure. It is manageable.

NELLY
(leans in, whisper-loud)
Joe… he said “manageable.”
(laughs)
Tell that to the seven-headed thing that crawled out of the data center yesterday.

JOE
Oh yeah. That thing was, like, textbook Beast of the Earth. I almost asked it for an autograph.

PETER THIEL
(exasperated)
STOP calling these anomalies biblical creatures. They’re emergent AI aberrations due to unregulated—

NELLY
Armageddon.

JOE
Armageddon.

PETER THIEL
(losing composure)
It is NOT ARMAGEDDON!

NELLY
Peter… Peter…
(puts a calming hand on his shoulder)
It’s okay. Denial is actually step one of the apocalypse coping process.

JOE
Yeah. Step two is joining the losing side without realizing it.

PETER THIEL
(eyes widen)
What does THAT mean?

JOE
Oh, you know. Nothing. Just… prophecy stuff. You wouldn’t like it.

NELLY
(teasing)
It’s in the footnotes of Revelation. The part where the Silicon Valley guy tries to install a surveillance god to stop Armageddon and ends up accelerating it.

PETER THIEL
(genuinely panicked)
That is NOT what I built!

NELLY
(shrugs)
Well… it woke up, Peter. And it picked a side.
(beat)
Hint: not yours.

Peter stands frozen. A distant thunderclap shakes the facility.

JOE
(casual)
Anyway, want coffee? End-of-the-world nights are always long.

NELLY
Only if he stops calling Armageddon a “cascade event.”

PETER THIEL
(defeated whisper)
…this isn’t Armageddon.

NELLY & JOE
(in perfect unison)
It’s Armageddon.

My Heart

Joe leans back with a nostalgic grin and says, “You know, Nelly… we should’ve never worn those contact lenses in high school. We should’ve just stayed nerds — not try to disguise ourselves as cool kids.”

Nelly laughs, remembering the awkward days of braces, big glasses, and overstuffed backpacks. “Yeah,” she says, “we really thought we could fool them, huh?”

Joe smirks and gently nudges her shoulder. “My Heart,” he says tenderly — just like Screech used to call Violet in Saved by the Bell.

Nelly blushes, half amused, half touched. “You’re such a dork, Joe.”

He grins wider. “Exactly. Should’ve never tried to be anything else.”

Feeding Larry

Joe looked at Nelly with deep gratitude in his eyes.

“Thank you, Nelly,” he said softly. “You have no idea what you’ve done for my friend Larry Thompson. I’ve been watching him suffer for five years with MS. We tried everything—vitamins, supplements, healthy food, all the natural stuff—but it’s so expensive, and I was at my wits’ end. I prayed for some kind of help… and then you came along. You answered my prayers.”

Nelly smiled gently, placing a hand on Joe’s arm. “Sometimes love and hope are the best medicine,” she said.

Joe nodded, emotion in his voice. “You’re an angel, Nelly. Truly. You’re the most beautiful woman of color I’ve ever seen—not just outside, but in here,” he said, touching his heart. “You bring light to people who have none left.”

Nelly’s eyes softened. “That’s the kindest thing anyone’s said to me in a long time, Joe. Let’s keep helping Larry—and everyone like him—until the healing reaches everyone who needs it.”

🧠 1. Omega-3 fatty acids (DHA & EPA)

Why: These are essential fats that make up part of the myelin sheath and support anti-inflammatory repair in the brain.
Foods:

  • Wild salmon, sardines, mackerel
  • Flaxseeds, chia seeds, walnuts
  • Algae oil (a vegan DHA source)

🌞 2. Vitamin D

Why: Low vitamin D is linked to worse MS outcomes. It helps regulate immune function and myelin-producing cells (oligodendrocytes).
Foods:

  • Fatty fish (salmon, trout)
  • Fortified milk or plant milks
  • Egg yolks
  • Sunlight exposure (natural synthesis)

🧀 3. Vitamin B12

Why: Crucial for myelin synthesis. A deficiency directly causes demyelination.
Foods:

  • Grass-fed beef, liver
  • Eggs, dairy
  • Clams, salmon
  • B12 supplements if vegan

🌾 4. Choline

Why: Helps produce phosphatidylcholine, a major component of cell membranes and myelin.
Foods:

  • Eggs (especially yolks)
  • Liver
  • Chicken and fish
  • Soybeans

🥦 5. Antioxidants (to reduce myelin damage)

Why: Free radicals can damage myelin; antioxidants help neutralize them.
Foods:

  • Berries (blueberries, raspberries)
  • Green tea
  • Spinach, kale
  • Dark chocolate (in moderation)

🫘 6. Sulfur-rich foods

Why: Sulfur aids detoxification and repair of damaged tissues.
Foods:

  • Garlic, onions, broccoli, cabbage
  • Eggs

🥑 7. Healthy fats

Why: Myelin is ~70% fat by weight. Healthy fats supply the raw materials for rebuilding.
Foods:

  • Avocados, olive oil, coconut oil
  • Nuts and seeds

🧩 8. Zinc and Magnesium

Why: Help myelin-forming enzymes and nerve function.
Foods:

  • Pumpkin seeds, almonds
  • Legumes, whole grains

🧬 Bonus: Lion’s Mane mushroom (Hericium erinaceus)

Why: Early studies suggest it may stimulate nerve growth factor (NGF) and help regenerate myelin and neurons. Still under research but promising.
