/mu/ is shit

I can't tell if I'm actually becoming schizophrenic or if my isolation and eccentricity has simply gotten out of hand to the point that I can no longer function in our current society.
If I were to be committed to an asylum, I honestly suspect that such an experience would bring me happiness at the cost of letting my parents down, who only wanted a normal, well-adjusted child who could be successful on his own in life.

Especially the letters in the back, reminds me of a friend who thought he was Jesus and that the tv was stealing his ideas for sit come from his brain.

>Starting Nabokov with Lolita is a bit like starting Eliot with The Waste Land or Joyce with Ulysses.

Are all moral systems inherently egoist?
We get a satisfaction from adhering to our principles that's deeper than the alternative - and the reason people aren't moral is when that satisfaction doesn't measure up.
The argument that people act moral while disregarding potential sources of happiness, don't realise that the acknowledgement of it's shallowness/immorality prevent the happiness they would otherwise get from it, and acting moral allows them to feel that satisfaction.
Hedonism still explains each system because the ultimate motivation ultimately drives everything.
