>what are the chances that after 19 years of being despised
Listen here sonny you are barely out of short pants. You are still a kid. I know people who have worked in the same office building for longer than you've been alive. You have plenty of time to shake all this robot 9000 nonsense out of your head and get your life in order.

>How Clean is your living space?
For what it's worth there is always a path to my bed and my wingback chair, and I have enough space to do yoga in my room

>Do you believe you are living a virtuous or degenerate life
Feels like i'm degenerate but I also know I've got at least a little more virtue than average (such as not being promiscuous)

>What is your Personal life philosophy
Currently: "It is my duty to live for others." but I'm slowly trying to develop a better one, where "better" really just means one that doesn't fill me with dread because the needs and wants of others never ends.

>what is your essential literature
Nausea by Jean-Paul Sartre and Simulacra and Simulation by Jean Baudrillard

It's because brainlets want to use reading books as some intellectual badge of honor and feel sad that someone else could knock out the same book to and from work. There's no functional difference between listening to something and reading it- the information is the same. The only significant difference is books with unique punctuation styles or pictures that can't be translated into books.
