Let's Play: Guess that Belief System

[It] begins with atheism. We begin with the universe and say, “It’s indifferent. There’s no God, there’s no Devil. No one cares!” So you then have to make a decision that places yourself at the center of your own subjective universe, because of course we can’t have any kind of objective contact with everything that exists. That’s rather arrogant and delusional, people who try to put things that way. So by making yourself the primary value in your life, you’re your own God. By being your own God, you are comfortable about making your own decisions about what to value. What’s positive to you, is good. What harms you, is evil. You extend it to things that you cherish and the people that you cherish. So it’s actually very easy to see that it’s a self-centered philosophy.

But it also requires responsibility, since you are taking on for yourself the complete onus for your personal success or failure. You can’t be praying to a God or blaming a devil, or anyone else, for that matter, for what happens to you. It’s on your own head. That’s a challenge for most people. Most people tend to really feel that they want some kind of external support, that they are outward looking and might want some sort of supernatural parental figure, or even some sort of existing governmental authority, existing in their life.

The Laundromat

"That's a great idea actually, I need to visit the laundromat to get a goddamn suit bag for my shirts and say goodbye to the lady that gave me a lint roller for the past five Christmases." - Tull

Bar Exit Line

"Take care guys, I need to go sue somebody."

Le Souk

Let me put it this way - when I walked in there, my third thought was, "If he were here, Bradley would cream so hard his shades would fall off." Because there's nobody I associate more with hookah, oversized drinks, and thumping music.

Mythical Deity

I always imagined myself to be a mythical deity. Something people know of, have never met but feel cool pretending to be a buddy of.
Like Jesus Christ.
I will name myself Jethro "Jesus fucking Christ I need a goddamn shit" Tull.
