He who must be told how to live is unworthy of living. He who needs a leader cannot think for himself. He who follows rules is replaceable.

Some people were born to lead and some to follow. As leaders we need to round up the followers and control them to do our bidding.

Always focus on cultivating true creation, idleness is evil. "The other name of God is Father, again because He is the that-which-maketh-all. The part of father is to make." to Asclepius (17), from the Hermetic Corpus

A man must not live. A man must die. Living is what comes before that. And whatever you do, whether is bad or good or neutral, won't change this fact. So, if you want to do something before you die, make sure it's something that will be worth doing before you die.

This is what my retarded gay uncle who owns one of those cringe modern art galleries says.
I remember he said to me when I was 17, "everyone who works for me are just cogs in a machine."
At 17 I couldn't believe how childish this man's mindset was. It's true to an extent, but imagine living everyday of your life with such a shallow worldview. The saddest part was when he said that he himself wasn't a cog in a machine and that he was making change and this and that. Get a farken load of yourself cunt. He lives in the most disgusting city in the world (New York City), lives I a tiny apartment that costs him thousands to rent. How could you think that you aren't one of those cogs? I also don't understand what's so ugly about cogs in a machine. Society does function that way, but it's nothing to be disgusted by. To be disgusted by it, is to be disgusted by nature. If you saw birds flying in synconicity, creating a beautiful picture, would you then call them cogs in a machine?

Just seems like a childish mindset imo. But when you are surrounded by the horrors of New York City, I can't really blame him.
For eg. I'm taking a dump rn and this is what I see. How could this world possibly disgust me?

In all epochs of the world's history, we shall find the Great Man to have been the indispensable savior of his epoch;—the lightning, without which the fuel never would have burnt. The History of the World, I said already, was the Biography of Great Men.
