00:00If somebody comes and says, you know, I'm helpless, just figure out where the pleasure is,
00:04and you will know the dishonesty. Despite me. I didn't know, it just happens. Just see where the
00:09pleasure is. And man, the beast that he is, does not want many things beyond all this. Sleep, sex,
00:15security, food. Whatsoever you are saying or doing is for the sake of only these 4-5 things.
00:20So the argument might be put in the most eloquent and sophisticated way possible. But still,
00:25the whole thing amounts to only this. Sleep, sex, food, security, and the other kind of nonsense.
00:32Rob yourself, strip yourself down of any pretense of respectability. All the time,
00:38we are lying to ourselves, cheating on our own life, depriving ourselves of what we
00:44deserve to be, moving around for a few years, and then we drop dead.
