Neither a God Nor a Beast

Kurt Vonnegut in a series of dialogues with Lee ********

• The meaning of writing is synonymous with the meaning of life itself
• "The practice of art is a way to make your soul grow"
• Gates and his ilk seek to stop people from "becoming" - they want to kill the soul instead of nurture it

To be in the process of becoming is to be free, and not tethered to a computer or an ideology

• Unfortunately, many people are content with the continuous absurdity of simulated existence
• Judging from the usage of social media, which keeps people in perpetual slumber, the end of these charades doesn't exist
• The consequence is that the soul begins to wither
• Will the amount of people who chose to exchange their souls for temporary power become too large to change the course of this disorganized and destructive society

Life is exhausting and anyone who says otherwise is lying, either to themselves or others, or both

• Vonnegut and ******** were asked what kind of challenges are facing human beings, and whether they are different from those of the past
• Nothing has changed, the human situation is like the weather
• Lee ******** agreed, "It's a struggle to be human."
