You are lonely?
You don't know why you exist and what you live for?
You are afraid of the end?
Then you are a case for me and my account.
We will settle this.
After a killer week of closing deals, my co-managing director and I deserve to really let loose today. Stuffing our faces, farting, boozing, belching, and fucking. If you want to treat us to this, cough up some cash.

2nd Law: A system’s capacity to perform work (and thereby generate wealth) is diminished if it is proactively mixed with other systems to a greater extent than would occur naturally.
The maximum diversity of colours yields white.
Natural laws apply always and everywhere. It betrays a deep lack of understanding of our existential conditions to apply democratic processes to them—and to put wishful alternatives up for a vote. Where nature is the enemy, the only recourse is retreat—to buy time and to appease.
I happen to be rich. You happen to be poor. I am systematically getting richer. You are systematically getting poorer. You slave away. I fuck around. No, we don't change this.
Math provides us with methods for dealing with (and amplifying) similarities and differences; this works as long as it is justifiable to ignore the differences and similarities. We therefore repeatedly encounter our limits—precisely because they do not exist. We are one universe.
It is possible that we all share the same "self"—the same self-awareness—and that only our different storage media, processors, and surroundings prevent us from realizing this. Then we're in even this together.
The value of your traits is measured by quality and extent of their correspondence with the external world, and by the degree to which stable boundaries enable homeostasis. Enslavement—triggered just by a collective of individual strengths— does not endure beyond their lifetimes.
