Personality Profile

The following is a stylized description of this personality type, written in the original author's uniquely humorous voice.

Friend, you're not 'young at heart' — you simply never evolved. Your soul is still stuck in that happy era of swinging from trees and going wide-eyed at the sight of a banana. When humanity's ancestors decided to climb down, learn to walk upright, and put on suits and ties, the Monkey Mind's ancestors were on a neighboring tree watching, scratching their butts, and letting out a disdainful 'eek.' They saw through everything: so-called 'civilization' is nothing but the most boring, least fun pay-to-play game. Rules are occasionally meant to be broken, ceilings are meant for hanging upside down from, and conference rooms are stages for backflips. The MALO is essentially a wild idea that tumbled out of a massive brain-hole and forgot to close the door behind it.
