Overcoming Cringe Through Effort

What it means

A heavily armored red-and-black figure stands in a blue-lit industrial corridor, slowly turning and spreading his arms as if making a grand philosophical declaration. The voiceover jokes about being “born based” versus overcoming cringe through effort, while the dramatic cyberpunk music, video-game-like visuals, and solemn delivery make the exaggerated self-improvement claim absurd. The song is “The Stains of Time (Maniac Agenda Mix)” by Kit Walters, an electronic video-game remix that heightens the mock-epic mood.

Speech

What is better to be born based or to overcome your cringe through great effort? I have overcome my nature through consumption of means, but not a day goes by where I don't wish to revel in the cringe.
