“It is not science or religion that will annihilate us. It is economics.”
― Jack R. Ernest, Remarks On Existential Nihilism: Labelling, Narcissism and Existential Maturity

“Your duty if any should be to leave this world in a better place than when you first found it. The life of a human is no more valuable than that of a farmed chicken and as you read this sentence three thousand have been slaughtered.”
― Jack R. Ernest, Remarks On Existential Nihilism: Labelling, Narcissism and Existential Maturity

“I see on various internet forums, people talking about their “inadequate” mental health. They are depressed, anxious, worried etc. But they blame their minds. Not one person has ever blamed the economic system that causes their deterioration. That is how brainwashed they are on the system, that they blame themselves for what is the systems flaw.”

“Furthermore, we automatically deduce that people who don’t conform must be mentally ill. The homeless man who refuses to live as normal folk do is suffering some psychiatric malady. But imagine for instance a world of anarchy where law and order has broken down. In that world the mentally ill would be considered normal. Thus it can be assumed that mental illness is a derivative of an economic functioning world. “The fact that millions of people share the same form of mental pathology does not make these people sane.” - Erich Fromm.”
