“If money has no objective value beyond what society gives it, then it must be phony beyond a synthetic
judgement. it aesthetically holds no value. certain cretins such as Mark Fisher, have made various claims
that no matter what religion one might follow, one is not free from the socioeconomic claims society has
established. However, if money holds no intrinsic value beyond mere synthetic judgements, why should
anyone care about such frivolities? If there is no God, as many Marxists claim, I propose that
socioeconomic conditions are a product of society, and hold no value beyond what humanity places
upon it, then there is no reason I should not hold faith in something that they will claim is not real,
either, since something is only powerful because of how much power and value we place upon such
things”

“Always remember whether you be a sucker or hustler in the world out there, you've got that vital edge if you can iron-clad your feelings. I picture the human mind as a movie screen. If you're a dopey sucker you'll just sit an watch all kinds of mind-wrecking, damn fool movies on that screen... Son, there is no reason except a stupid one for anybody to project on that screen anything that will worry him or dull that vital edge. After all, we are the absolute bosses of that whole theatre and show inside our minds. We even write the script. So always write positive, dynamic scripts and show only the best movies for you on that screen whether are pimp or priest.”

“Designing a presentation without an audience in mind is like writing a love letter and addressing it “to whom it may concern.”
