/lit/ - Literature

Tbh, the only way to revolt in our cynical, materialistic times populated by people with scheming mindsets is to be a dreamer who gives himself an opportunity of escape, to be morally firm in the face of real and potential disappointments, to love without calculation or second thought placing yourself in the position of vulnerability. Culture demands people like us, whereas economy demands snake-like schemers who are embarrassed with anything that is actually life affirming, since it involves risk, eventual disappointment, etc. I've seen my closest friends give into the demands of practicality and wither away in soulless jobs, jumping on medication the second they "adopt responsibility" (read: slave away your life on medication). It is better to be naive and to take risks than to live a comfortable, but inconsequential life.

there is a cool mix of themes from the occult and theoretical physics. modern theoretical physics looks weirdly like occult shit so i could believe it's some kind of racket.
