Most people on this board don't have a clue at how related picture related is to contemporary society.

Rats represent the consumer, the view represents the culture industry, and the maze represents the culture industry's simulacral accounts of "choice"/"worth"/"direction" - the emotional connection humans base interaction and society upon is then used by instrumental reason in an attempt to quantify these emotional aspects while selling them back to the initial emotive receptor within us. A small tragedy.

Oh god, it's like you can actually see me through the internet! You're some sort of psychic, obviously. A lone, rebel psychic who's the only man intelligent and privileged enough to realise the truth of the rat race. You should start a church so you can show everyone the truth they're too stupid to understand themselves.

>You should start a church
I've been honestly entertaining that for a while now.

Do you know that in order for a church to have legitimate tax exemption status, it must be an institution based on supernatural understandings of the life and the universe?

This made me suspect that the church of scientology doesn't actually believe the gobbledegook they say they do, they only pretend they do so that their social institution can stay "legitimate" in the eyes of the law as a tax exempted institution.

Interesting no?

I honestly think I'd make a good priest, but I'd make a terrible christian priest.
