I still don't understand why people
like sports. They get so emotional over the we'irdest things. But I do
see the beauty in the rules, the invisible code of chaos hiding
behind the menacing face of order.'
In the fallout of the Great Depression,
FDR closed all the banks for a bank holiday, and then he reopened
them in stages when they were reported to being sound. Later,
historians discovered what we in this room now know, that those
reports, they were mostly lies. Nevertheless, it worked. It worked
because the public believed the government had everything under
control. You see, that is the business model for this great nation of
ours. Every business day when that market bell rings, we con people
into believing in something, the American dream, family values. Could
be freedom fries for all I care. It doesn't matter as long as the con
works and people buy and sell whatever it is we want them to. If I
resign, then any scrap of confidence the public is already clinging
onto will be destroyed, and we all know a con doesn't work without
the confidence.
A guy walks up to a woman at a bar. He
flirts with her. He makes small talk, but the woman insists she isn't
gonna go home with him. Guy says, "What if I offer you $1
million to sleep with me?" The woman's never had a million
dollars in her life. She stops and considers the offer very
seriously. The guy changes his mind, says, "What if I change my
offer to a dollar instead?" Woman is aghast. "What kind of
woman do you think I am?" Guy says, "We already figured
that out. Now we're just negotiating."
God can help you. Is that what God
does? He helps? Tell me, why didn't God help my innocent friend who
died for no reason while the guilty roam free? Okay, fine. Forget the
one-offs. How about the countless wars declared in his name? Okay,
fine. Let's skip the random, meaningless murder for a second, shall
we? How about the racist, sexist, phobia soup we've all been drowning
in because of him? () And I'm not just talking about
Jesus. I'm talking about all organized religion... exclusive groups
created to manage control, a dealer getting people hooked on the drug
of hope, his followers nothing but addicts who want their hit of
bullshit to keep their... their dopamine of ignorance, addicts afraid
to believe the truth... that there is no order, there's no power,
that all religions are just metastasizing mind worms meant to divide
us so it's easier to rule us by the charlatans that want to run us. (CHUCKLING) If I don't listen to my
imaginary friend, why the f... should I listen to yours? ♪ ♪
People think their worship's some key to happiness. That's just how
he owns you. ♪ ♪ Even I'm not crazy enough to believe that
distortion of reality. ♪ ♪ So f... God. ♪ ♪ He's not a good
enough scapegoat for me. ♪ ♪ Please tell me I didn't say all of
that out loud. ♪ ♪ sh1t. I did.
Nic pizzolatto, take note this is how you maintain the quality of writing in season 2. Im still bitter about the second season of True detective.
