I like people who have lost all sense of what they wanted in the first place, forgot their reasons. I really do, I don’t know why. I don’t think trees question why they are trees.

I dream of people who can leave themselves behind, rise above the garbage of mankind and its self-referential notion of good and bad. Only then, can we really be together, in the same space, truly and enjoy how irrelevant even that is. This is difficult as believing in progress doesn’t necessarily mean believing any progress has yet been made. Do I think this is possible? Probably not, not in my lifetime. So what do I do? Every inch one moves away from morality is where they meet me. This meeting, given these current circumstances is satisfactory. Thus, I am content.

The foremost and first rule of all human endeavors has to be disbelief, pure and honest disbelief. Only then, we have a tiny chance at progress. All feelings, all notions, all thought should first be approached with utter disbelief and skepticism. All other formulas have proven to be lethal and rendered disgusting results. Absolute distrust in science, business, art, religion and feelings is necessary for any real insight into ourselves and the world surrounding us. This begins with throwing out the word ‘truth’. As we can all see, we are far from that vital act and until we get there, we are merely circling the length of one foot; our own.
