One of the most difficult things you can do is be honest with yourself about the reasons you believe what you do.

Philosophy needs to follow the example of Socrates, but it must remember what that example is. Socrates didn't just ruthlessly interrogate ideas in search of truth, he ruthlessly interrogated power in search of justice. That is what got him killed.

Capitalism is the system where you take the most manipulative, self centered, exploitive ego maniacs alive, and you say, "everything will probably work out best if they are in charge of what gets produced and how."

Watching Elon Musk seamlessly moving from "the free market solves everything" to "trade unions sow social division among classes" and "we need a watchdog to discredit lying journalists" is like watching capitalism decay into fascism in real time on twitter.

What is freedom? Kant: being rational. Sartre: being authentic. Nietzsche: being yourself. Camus: being as cool as possible.

As a child you always run just for fun. As an adult, it's mostly if you're late for the bus, or if you're exercising to try to delay death.
