“If you feel betrayed by culture, it’s not because you’re right and the universe is fucked; it’s only because you’re not like most other people. But this should make you happy, because—in all likelihood—you hate other people, anyway. You are being betrayed by a culture that has no relationship to who you are or how you live. […] Don’t get pissed off over the fact that the way you feel about culture isn’t some kind of universal consensus. Because if you do, you will end up feeling betrayed. And it will be your own fault. You will feel bad, and you will deserve it.”
