The Lonely Death of George Bell
I'm sorry but this is garbage in my view.<p>We need to use the time we have in order to <i>do the things that are important to us</i>, not to enrich "others" whoever they may be. This obsession about society and socializing and following norms and "fitting in" is one of the things that are <i>seriously</i> fucked up in the western world.<p>We need more people who have gone <i>sideways</i>, more recluses, more geniuses, more people who <i>do not fit in</i> and do things their own way. Otherwise what's the point?<p>I understand that this may sound <i>alien</i> or maybe <i>crazy</i> to people who have grown up in western societies and therefore been <i>indoctrinated</i> to an extreme degree to seek the approval of others and so on, but that's all there is to it really, social conditioning. Nobody will remember you 200 years after you die, you better use the time you have to do something meaningful with your life and to me that does not include idle socializing so that some sacks of blood, meat and bone will "feel" sad when you're gone.
