Great read, thanks!

Also, I don't think I've ever encountered words that resonated with me so well:

"Things are grim—both in the world at large, and for us as individuals. We all overestimated the world: even me, an absolute pessimist. The world is very, very stupid, and bestial. There are more brains in a cowshed. Everything: humanity, civilization, Europe, even Catholicism: the cowshed is cleverer."
