I am way more interested in his interpretations of the bible and his Jungian world-view. I am inspired by his fight against blind "rationalism", and his ability to articulate metaphysical points of view extremely clearly.

His only problem is he really does a lot of conformation bias. But I think he has addressed a lot of that.

The whole getting your life together stuff should be clear enough to anybody who is semi-intelligent. But I guess he hammers it home for people looking for a positive influence in their life.

I don't matter as an individual. If I die it wouldn't matter and nobody would really care.

The true nature and meaning of my existence is for reality give me miscellaneous and seemingly unconnected pieces of experience, memory, information, and processes, and congeal them all into new forms. A true artist in this respect has no core, he has no egotistical need to "express himself". Art is not about "Self expression" it's about reality trying to concentrate all of it's ingredients through your soulless husk into interesting forms. So real people can enjoy them. Artists are not real people, we don't have any true values or opinions, no ideals, no hopes or wishes, at least not in the true sense of being apart of our being. If they are there they are merely just more ingredients to eat, digest, and regurgitate.

So artists really aren't important at all. We are more like farm chickens then anything else.
