220 - Suburban Transpondency

Highway ramblings. True Detective. Death is certain.


Rust Cohle: I think human consciousness is a
tragic misstep in evolution. We became too self-aware. Nature
created an aspect of nature separate from itself. We are
creatures that should not exist by natural law. We are things
that labor under the illusion of having a self, this accretion of
sensory experience and feelings, programmed with total assurance
that we are each somebody, when in fact everybody's nobody. I
think the honorable thing for our species to do is to deny our
programming. Stop reproducing. Walk hand in hand into extinction.
One last midnight, brothers and sisters opting out of a raw deal.
