People aren't going to read St. Augustine. People read Dan Brown and JK Rowling. Most people would eat a bug before they'd read one page of Kierkegaard or Ramana Maharshi or Plotinus or anything challenging and transcendant.

I was thinking yesterday about how we're actually just playtoys of our genes. Has it ever occurred to you guys how absurd it is that we think [censored] and asses are 'hot'? We think it's completely natural and obvious that we like them, liking them is even part of our identity, it makes us 'a man', while it really makes no sense at all.

We are tricked by our minds to believe that things actually have inherent meaning in them. While those 'meanings' are just processes in our brain/mind.
