Every human being who believes in thoughts is insane — literally crazy.

I am old enough to remember when he said a life without thinking was wonderful.
So what do you believe a sane human would give credence to instead? Emotions? Divine revelation? (I guess he’s giving God a pass for working with thought.)
EDIT: Sure enough, he’s talking about believing thoughts have worth. I think a phrase he used about thoughts was “they build you up to tear you down; they pull you down to build you up”. So he seems to be aiming for unrelenting bliss.
The classical Greeks would have a field day with his rejection of black bile. The actual bad humour is yellow bile, anyway. Even beyond that, I wonder if he’s dealing with steadily worsening depression, probably predisposed to distrust antidepressants both pharmaceutical and herbal, and so flailing around for anything that will allay the gloom, no matter what the side effects.
I wanted to invoke r/im14andThisIsDeep again, but, no, even edgy teenagers are far more sane, and more coherent, than the lobsterman.
Haha, they say I’m mad, but in truth, it’s everyone else who’s mad, ahahahahahahahahahaha!
One expects the face of evil to be immediately recognizable, repellant, scarring in every way… Significant and unforgettable if it is even comprehensible to the sane mind.
Look now, how mundane and utterly unimpressive it truly is. One could pity evil if they mistook it for simple ignorance. But ignorance is the absence of consideration, and this - more than even the most self-centered mode of thought hostile to all other existences - is the rejection of it on every level.
Lost soul so dire is your need of guidance you cannot be lead towards it, for you reject the thought of it, the feeling of right, the simple acknowledgement of how your actions impact the world around you and by how your works the faith you claim to represent shall be known.
Confused?
