Right, no reason not to just put this into a hotplug script, is there?

Experts in ancient Greek culture say that people back then didn't see their
thoughts as belonging to them.  When they had a thought, it occured to them
as a god or goddess giving them an order.  Apollo was telling them to be
brave.  Athena was telling them to fall in love.
Now people hear a commercial for sour cream potato chips and rush out to buy.
