Though I do not agree with everything said here, nonetheless, there is value in these observations.

“News about injustice is a species of pornography that its addicts consume in a self-standardizing protest signifying nearly complete impotence. In a perfect world, these passive spectators and opinion-engines would suffer withdrawal symptoms so unbearable that they would be forced to seek conflict where none existed; and, ultimately, to directly generate injustice were it was absent. They are so addicted to the role of ‘commenting observer’ and its endless frustrations, that they will inventively destroy any potential for meaningful roles or intelligence. Nothing excites those who have become addicted to their own impotence more than yielding to the public acceptance of the yoke of unjust power.

Our uncompliant nature demands a private and public obsession with transforming these situations, and that chronic urgency rests only with death itself. The inner revolutionary has inverted the proportion; the more senseless the situation, the greater the demand for insight and action. It is but rhetoric when we hear it proclaimed that the revolutionary is the reason for the existence of fascism. Peace is mathematically incompatible with humanity. Wrestler, what would you be without battle to fight? Superfluous.

If you agree with this but do not speak, you seem to me a coward unable to think outside the reinforced confinements of the masses. Someone whose value has no basis, and who is incapable of even relative autonomy of thought. I have no fear of being inconsistent, because I know that the only way to nurture individual thinking is by engaged transformation.

Do not put hurdles in your mind. Every minute you spend in a school corseted with preexisting thought is a minute lost. If you’re lucky you got 42 million minutes, of which 15 million are spent playing on swings or sunk in senile dementia. Throw in some 14 million you spend sleeping. What remains is ~13 million minutes of useful thought. Subtract from that the time you spend focusing on tasks that keep you from reflecting upon matters of true import — like working or watching TV. What remains is perhaps 7 million minutes, or about 5000 days.

13 years go far, but it’s easy to get lost. Do not waste taking refuge in the throng of the majority. Discover the nature and potential of your mind and intelligence. The comfort of belonging to fictional collectives is a deprivation. You’re a human being, the only living being truly capable of profound intelligence. Do not squander this.”
