But a fundamental fallacy of the liberal West is believing that everything will be optimal if we only ignore anything that might interest a Jew-obsessed loon. Admittedly, that is not a bad strategy, for the most part, and the smug self-righteousness that comes with it is invigorating.

Why can't we be the studious, conscientious, courageous, tenatious beings we aspire to be, instead of the doughnut eating, sleepy, masturbating apes we are? If the brain is just a wet computer, and the body just it's vehicle, why won't it conform to our commands? It is a beautifully crafted phrase, paradoxically implying that our weakness should elicit sympathy for others, but at the same time conceding that we may not be capable of willfully summoning the feeling. Can we be kind robots?
