Is it better to out-monster the monster,
or to be quietly devoured?
I’m sitting here at my desko al fresco, beholding beauty and wonder in every direction, when it occurs to me that I am totally full of shit about totally everything. I admire my hands and enjoy the sensation of rubbing them together. I bite my tongue, curl my toes, and dig my nails into my palms to remind myself how real reality really is, and scoff at all this dreamstate nonsense. Truly, I am the biggest asstalker of all. What a shameless scamster, fraudster and huckster I must be to perpetuate such a hokey hoax upon such a gullible readership. Fortunately, I’m not capable of experiencing remorse or regret, or else I might feel pretty bad about peddling this reality-isn’t-real horseshit to such a low-IQ audience.

"Do you want to have an easy life? Then always
stay with the herd and lose yourself in the herd."
Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900) was a German philosopher whose work profoundly influenced modern thought. Nietzsche is best known for his radical critiques of religion, morality, and traditional philosophy, as well as his concepts of the will to power, the Übermensch (Overman), and eternal recurrence. His style combined aphorism, poetry, and philosophy, challenging readers to reevaluate values and meaning in a world he described as “Godless.” Though widely misunderstood and misappropriated, his writings inspired existentialism, postmodernism, and psychology.
