Are you truely responsible for your own life?

There's a game human beings, like all other organisms, are playing called Darwinian Stomp-Out. At the human level and for higher social primates of the sort whose social spheres are more primary than the physical part of the psychological game is - wherever possible inflate your ego and feed your sense of grandiose because it's part of how you menace and intimidate the people you're in genetic warfare with - which is pretty much anyone who isn't your immediate family.

This is one of those spaces where the point isn't to see the truth, it's to have a story about one's own genetic superiority. It's just one of many aggressive social climbing tools one's supposed to use if they want to step on heads to get ahead or be 'apex predators' of the human world.

you can't prepare for being born with certain genes, in a certain environment. you're not responsible for how your metabolism gets shaped by the nutritional state your mother was in when pregnant.

your genetic makeup and your environment are therefore, by this logic, "acts of god".
what books you encounter in life. someone else's life, which you may involuntarily play a supporting role in, or maybe you're just an extra.

given the amount of factors that are compmetely outside your control, like all the circumstances that led to your existence in the way you are existing right now, rich people talking about responsibility are just gaslighting poor people to avoid getting guillotined.

jesus, if I were to take responsibility, chances are I'd start shooting people. I mean, that's exactly where French existentialism ended: in revolutionary violence.

but don't worry abput the victims of revolutionary violence - it's their responsibility to prepare for violence, isn't it?

i would think hard about putting some of those bastards in the apparatus facing UP.

If you know how a vacuum cleaner works, you won't vacuum in a different way, as neuroscientist Dick Swaab famously said.
