To have self-esteem is to be oblivious to the contradiction inherent in yourself. It’s an act of stupidity. But I’d rather be wilfully stupid than have a suicide drive. I’d rather be a moronic American fucked up on chemicals + McDonald’s, pledging allegiance to a bright piece of cloth than be a Jap suicide pilot fucked up on the perfection of zen + origami. Blondes do have more fun. Hedonism is pathetic + animal-low but nihilism’s a real drag, man. Err on the side of stupidity + you’ll feel good until you decide to make the jump into Nirvana.
