You need to be security-through-obscurity-maxxing. You need to be imperceptible in the dark forest. Your actions need to be chaotic and self-ironizing. You need to turn your sensuous characteristics and behaviors into an interpretive trap for those who would seek to pattern your moves. You need to be planting false leads and heuristic traps.

Just embrace death a little, please.
