  1. We are hardwired to need answers. The problem is when we don't find a logical answer, we settle for a stupid one.
  2. "God did it" is a lazy explanation.
  3.  
  4. Flat tires with <5000 miles are unlikely to go flat unless provoked.
  5.  
  6. Rules are meant to be broken.
  7.  
  8. Sticking by your convictions and damning the consequences is an idiotic thing to do.
  9.  
  10. All convictions are equally ridiculous when they're applied indiscriminately to all circumstances.
  11.  
  12. Everybody lies. Trust is unfounded, it's pointless, and fictional.
  13.  
  14. Hypocrisy is the act of persistently pretending to hold beliefs, opinions, virtues, feelings, qualities, or standards that one does not actually hold. Hypocrisy is thus a kind of lie.
  15. Weddings are hypocritical, and to an extent, so is much of religion.
  16.  
  17. Isn’t it wrong to do that sort of thing?
  18. It depends. What do you define as right? What do you define as wrong? In a universe of uncertainty with an origin from nothingness, where nothing is set in stone and the only thing certain is a fool’s complacency, are we really the ones to be imposing our baseless conjectures of a code of moral conduct upon beings whose lack of merit is just as equal as our own?
  19. Is it within your code of conduct to impose your random, subjective beliefs and judgments upon others? What is ‘right’ about that?
  20.  
  21. The goal in life is not to eliminate misery, but to minimize it.
  22.  
  23. People often see what they want to see, not what is there.
  24.  
  25. There are 300 million people in this country, if you're doing exactly the same as everyone else, then who the hell are you?
  26.  
  27. People don't change. Things change and people respond.
  28.  
  29. Say what you think, don't believe in pretense. Don't be a coward, don't be afraid to be wrong.
  30. Life is too short and painful to waste so much time on such trivialities.
  31.  
  32. People look for the most rewarding path given from the least amount of effort.
  33.  
  34. Defensiveness means someone has something to hide.
  35.  
  36. If you talk to God, you're religious. If God talks to you, you're psychotic.
  37.  
  38. Everything is conditional. You just can't always anticipate the conditions.
  39.  
  40. As knowing where you're going is preferable to being lost, ask
  41.  
  42. Everybody does stupid things.
  43.  
  44. People have a tendency to accept convenient mindsets and explanations.
  45.  
  46. Manners don't matter, results matter.
  47.  
  48. Just because there's a word for it, doesn't mean it exists. Case and point: Minotaurs.
  49.  
  50. People don't know their limits. They don't know how far they can actually go. Once they're motivated enough for the wheels to start rolling they head straight for the Sun.
  51.  
  52. Symbols only have as much meaning as what we infer from them.
