Culture is a cult of common insanity preached everywhere as common sense. It is the womb we are born into, and from who’s smothering embrace we can escape only by passing through a coffin door.
Scottish psychiatrist R. D. Laing once pointed out that the people who are running everything - the ones we celebrate, appoint, and applaud - are responsible for far more death and suffering in the world than all the lunatics and criminals locked up around the world combined.
It was that same common sense that lead 100 million men to kill each other over the course of the 20th century alone, with flags in one hand and bibles in the other.
War, after all, is the highest form of humanity worshiping itself, by sacrificing itself on the altar of its ideals.
