The buffalo theory
"Well you see, Norm, it's like this.. A herd of buffalo can only move as fast as the slowest buffalo. And when the herd is hunted, it is the slowest and weakest ones at the back that are killed first. This natural selection is good for the herd as a whole, because the general speed and health of the whole group keeps improving by the regular killing of the weakest members. In much the same way, the human brain can only operate as fast as the slowest brain cells. Now, as we know, excessive intake of alcohol kills brains cells. But naturally it attacks the slowest and weakest brain cells first. In this way, regular consumption of beer eliminates the weaker brain cells, making the brain a faster and more efficient machine. And that, Norm, is why you always feel smarter after a few beers."

Philosophy
The world is meaningless.
There is no God or gods, there are no morals, the universe is not moving inexorably towards any higher purpose.
All meaning is man-made, so make your own and make it well.
Do not treat life as a way to pass the time until you die. Do not try to "find yourself", you must make yourself.
Choose what you want to find meaningful and live, create, hate, cry, destroy, fight and die for it.
Do not let your life and your values and your actions slip easily into any mold, other than that which you create for yourself, and say with conviction, "This is who I make myself."
Do not give in to hope. Remember that nothing you do has any significance beyond that which imbue it. Whatever you do, do it for its own sake. When the universe looks on with indifference, laugh, and shout back, "Fuck You!". Remember that to fight meaninglessness is futile, but fight anyway, in spite of and because of its futility.
The world may be empty of meaning but it is a blank canvas on which to paint meanings of your own.
Live deliberately. You are free
