"The mitigation is to reduce your opportunity cost (...) Also, chicks dig a guy who actually believes in shit."

Man feels himself to be responsible, but he is not. He does not feel himself an object, but he is. He has been so well assimilated to the economic world, so well adjusted to it by being reduced to the homo economicus, in short, so well conditioned, that the appearance of personal life becomes for him the reality of personal life. Ellul, 1954
