To which I responded:

"Just hit a particularly good part of Red Wheelbarrow that discusses this more. It should be in Part 6. I think it might be more accurate to say Elliot Prime IS Elliot's mind :) But, I could certainly be wrong!"

So, as promised, here is that exchange that I teased from Red Wheelbarrow (May 21st 1:48 p.m.):

Mr. Robot: My answer is this and always this. I want to work together, but I want to work for what we agreed upon. For what you created me to help you do. We can't do that from in here, so I want out. We could be great...doing amazing things. So my question to you is: Why won't you let us be us?

Elliot: He knows why. People get hurt. I don't want that on me. And if he wanted to argue that, then he'd tell me what happened that night. But no, he doesn't want to work together because he doesn't want to be honest with me and I don't want to work with liars.

Mr. Robot: Elliot says he doesn't want people getting hurt to be on him. Well, fuck him. Everybody gets hurt, and somebody is doing the hurting, and that somebody is usually us, all of us. That's what we do, that's what makes us human. Santos is laid up partially because of him.

You might remember, from our earlier discussions, that Elliot set up one of Carla's tormenters (named Santos). Elliot used his lockpicking skills to allow another of his Kitchen working crew (who he knew wanted to hurt Santos) access to a mop, which he proceeded to use to dislocate Santos' shoulder and break his nose (landing Santos in the infirmary).

Mr. Robot, fearing this would come back on Elliot, during one of his entries in the journal mentions that he went to Santos to apologize for being sloppy with control of the mops.

Elliot is, of course, mortified (and this disclosure does end up costing Elliot a fat lip and some bruises at the hands of some of Santos' friends).

However, when Elliot first reads Mr. Robot's entry he does something very interesting. He says:

"It's fucking hard enough surviving in here...how am I supposed to do it when I keep sabotaging myself."

Elliot goes back and crosses out the part where it says "I keep sabotaging myself" and replaces it with:

"HE KEEPS SABOTAGING ME??"

Notice both the Freudian slip (I/HE) and the multiple question marks at the end of the entry (one would expect exclamation points after an all-caps exclamation, no?).

Several interesting things here reinforce what I have been suggesting throughout:

* Mr. Robot claims that Elliot created him. This is consistent with my interpretation of DID in that someone with DID elevates elements of their personality to handle the tasks that "they" are most capable of dealing with successfully.

* Mr. Robot is in charge of exactly what I have suggested throughout Season 2. He is in charge of doing the things that Elliot cannot emotionally accept doing himself but which he feels are necessary.

Elliot responds to this by saying "I don't want to see people hurt" in response to Mr. Robot saying "the plan you created me to help you do.

Just like in the case of Santos, this reveals that the plan was Elliot's (Elliot Prime).

Elliot 2 just doesn't see himself as doing the kind of things that are necessary for these plans to take place.

Mr. Robot is 100% right here, Elliot just demonstrated that he is capable of violence when it is called for (he just feels differently about people getting hurt when he thinks they deserve it than when they are collateral damage).

I am he and you are me....I am the walrus (I could be the walrus...I'd still have to bum rides off of people).
