4 aBecause everything else is too big and complicated to figure out,
5 bOr is somebody else's responsibility,
6 cOr somebody else's fault,
7 dOr there just isn't enough information,
8 eAnd who has the time to look anything up anyway,
9 fAnd besides almost everybody else is only thinking of their own personal desires,
10 gAnd so it's obvious you can't trust what they say,
11 At all,
12 hBecause the truth of things is always that there are hidden agendas,
13 iAnd dirty hands in the till,
14 jAnd most of the facts are just fancy lies that you can't trace back to their source,
15 Because you'd have to go all the way back to the days of khomo erectus and it still wouldn't change a thing,
16 lAnd it's all so obvious and widespread and powerful that there's nothing any one person can do,
17 mAnd why should they try,
18 nAnd who are they to say anyway,
19 And all that,
20 oBecause it must be somebody else's responsibility to fix the really big things that are wrong,
21 If they could be fixed at all,
22 pWhich they never have been anyhow,
23 And so what good does it do to think about anything,
24 qAnd school was a long long time ago,
25 rAnd it seems like the facts are mostly in anyway,

26 sAnd they all boil down to the one indisputable fact that every man is an tisland,
27 And had better look out for himself first.
CHAPTER 721 And so, said Harry, when every man is an island,
2 Every man has also stopped thinking,
3 Because it is thinking that ties one island to another,
4 And creates urelationships,
5 And vresponsibilities,
6 And wconsequences,
7 And xaccountability for consequences,
8 yNot to mention guilt and sin and all the other artificial bridges that have never gotten us anywhere at all,
9 And prove that thinking just isn't worth it.
CHAPTER 731 And the great thing about all this, Harry said, refilling his glass with more of zMr. Jack,
2 Is that everybody really knows this already,
3 Including you, my followers,
4 aaBecause the reason why nobody anywhere has ever asked me what it's like to not think about anything at all,
5 Is that they're already not thinking about anything at all,
6 And all they're getting from me is bbpermission,
7 Which I give happily,
8 ccBased on no authority whatsoever,
