“Imagine a society that subjects people to conditions that make them terribly unhappy then gives them the drugs to take away their unhappiness.

“I don’t believe in guilty pleasures. If you fucking like something, like it. That’s what’s wrong with our generation: that residual punk rock guilt, like, “You’re not supposed to like that.
