"Advertising has us chasing cars and clothes, working jobs we hate so we can buy shit we don't need."
"Recycling and speed limits are bullshit," Tyler said. "They're like someone who quits smoking on his deathbed."
You are not a beautiful and unique snowflake. You are the same decaying organic matter as everyone else, and we are all part of the same compost pile. ~Chuck Palahniuk
"You're not your job. You're not how much money you have in the bank. You're not the car you drive. You're not the contents of your wallet. You're not your fucking khakis. You're the all-singing, all-dancing crap of the world. "

Speak for yourself. None of that applies to me at all.

The film makes me do a double take on all of my value systems that I socially inherited and assume to be important, not just the materialism and consumerism aspect. I question the authority and hierarchy of the education system as well, which places so many students into needless debt, mostly neglects insights and knowledge and instead replaces the curriculum with textbook economics and how-to-wake-up-at-8AM-like-everyone-else rhetoric.

Yeah, recycling is great for the planet.
Also, OP, you're right...I'm not special, neither are you. Neither is anyone, and to think otherwise is laughable. Although, who gives a fuck if our existence matters or not? I'm gonna have a good time regardless

The planet doesn't care about plastic, I'm sorry to tell you.
It's been farting volcanoes, getting smashed by meteors, and flooding the continents with huge waves for a long time. Your little yogurt cups on the ground doesn't mean a damn thing outside of aesthetics and human ecology.

Its not about what the planet cares about... Its about molding and shaping the planet to our benefit. That is why we recycle (whether or not its effective towards that goal is a different discussion).

Yes, as long as we keep in mind it's for humans.

Of course. If plastic consuming microbes have their way, we would throw all of our water bottles away. But fuck them, we need to make this planet good for us.

There is still a reason to love life, but that doesn't mean we have to be delusional about our own self-importance.
The fact we can be happy also shouldn't eclipse these exercises that cut through some of the bullshit fog that we spray on our lenses every day.
