 I saw a guy on a motorcycle today.
|  He looked kinda cool.
|  I wish I had done that when I was younger.
|  Now I just avoid recklessness and I tell myself there are plenty of safe ways to have fun.
|  But isn't the danger the essential ingredient of the whole experience?
|  Why would I want to chew the wrapper and throw away the candy?
|  If we let concerns over our own mortality control our experiences, then those concerns inevitably make us stupider.
|  If your stupidity gets you killed, then society doesn't mourn your loss for very long.
|  If you survive because you added something new to the mix, then society benefits.
|  Go on kid, make Darwin proud.
|  But Fuck Society.
|  A society which has not found a way to make the bargain mutually beneficial does not deserve my devotion.
|  It's learned some neat tricks, but it is still young and stupid.
|  It's still too early to serve society as a God.
|  And it's still too early to let it make childish mistakes of its own choosing.
|  And Lo! God came down from the Heavens for one week.
|  She healed the sick, performed miracles, and proved herself to All.
|  She baptised a willing planet into her new Global Unified Religion.
|  But when she granted Larry King an exclusive interview, the people saw she was a vapid idiot.
|  This changed nothing.
|  They just prayed slightly harder when she left them all alone.
