I once brought up the quote "Self-improvement is masturbation, self-destruction is the answer" to my high-school philosophy class taught by a man who was planning on becoming a priest the next year.
After seeing Fight-Club and reading Choke, the idea meant a lot to me at the time but looking back...semi-cringe
My class didn't get it. Everyone was surprised I brought up the word masturbation in a highschool class where we were getting our religion credit. My teacher wanted me to explain how it was like masturbation, so I stood at the front of my class stammering, trying to explain how self-improvement is pretty much just fucking yourself. ..
So my question is, how would you have described this quote to my highschool class? and do you personally live following this idea?
