The self-proclaimed Existentialist Manifesto

 * Misery is the central condition of human life. More specifically, depression is the base state of any thinking-feeling individual.  This can be relieved only through patches of hard-won sense of accomplishment. 

* Meaning can be worked towards only through living and struggling hard. Hence, suicide and other forms of selfish or escapist behavior are fundamentally irrational.

* The mind is the mind's greatest enemy.  Particularly the gifted mind finds ways to allergically act against itself when it doesn't have any suitable grist to work on.  Constant hard labor befitting one's intellect and abilities is  of paramount importance in one's quest for meaning and accomplishment.

* All social and cultural norms are superficial and arbitrary and do not matter to the liberated mind. Morality is only for the riffraff. The superior mind is guided by reason.  The superior mind that uses this excuse to commit crime is actually deluded and deprived of reason,  and is an example of sickness induced by a mind working against itself.

* The pursuit of pleasure  is one of our weaker attempts at avoidance of pain.  Sex, like alcohol, is merely an analgesic, and contrary to Freudian ideas, not central to the creative potential of the individual.  As such it need not necessarily be pursued within the constraints of emotionally fulfilling relationships.

* Women are fundamentally different from men, just as old people differ from children, rich people from poor, socialism from capitalism, etc.  Much of the world's problems stem from not being able to comprehend the Other. It is unfortunate but true that we are ill-equipped to understand or empathize with people who greatly differ.  The only plausible solution is cultivated mutual tolerance and need-based interaction,  however uneasy such a forced truce might be.

* The individual is central and its central goal should be to protect itself.  The rest of the world is necessary but hardly sufficient, and most often apathetic.  True altruism is an elusive quality and all acts of benevolence should come with price tags attached.
