In my world, reason disintegrates. I walk the streets and question the very notion of rationality. I started my journey after reading Critique of Pure Reason. My arch enemy is Ego. I must eliminate him. He stands for justice and selfishness. I despise him. He is like a shard of glass that slices into my mind. My powers exist in corrupting thought and displaying how life does not matter and that you are actually dead because you’re alive.

The totality of my mission is to show that anyone can have faith and believe only because they wish to use self-sacrifice which is a virtue to me. Self-denial, self-abnegation, and self-denial are all hallmarks of a fruitful life. To deny the ego and make sense of the world only through irrationalism is what I am all about.

My weaknesses are of course reason, individualism, and capitalism. I have shown myself to be a purveyor of the phenomenal world and the neumonal world. That means I have the ideas of what are physical and perceptual and spiritual through some tribal leader, or faithful frontman.

I’m currently hatching a scheme to make it possible for the Atillas of the world to unite and fight the producers on this Earth. They are the ugly monsters, not I. As long as I can, I will sew the seeds of accord, in my view. Since reality is a myth, I can make sure that anyone who ever thought on their own actually thought by committee. It’s all about the group. Collectives create brain power and essentially make it possible for the ideas of anti-reason, irrationality, and ignorance to reign. If you are not convinced of my powers, just look at any government and understand how I can erode the States by just saying they fail…which makes them succeed.
