One thing about the West is people are in love with their own realities out here. I still think of this guy I met at a bar in Portland who told me things were only true if you believe them and it's the only time I remember actually having the urge to poison someone.

There are a lot of things I want to be true. They seem to be at odds with how things are generally going.

Maybe I'm not trying hard enough. Maybe I have too much self doubt. Maybe I'm not taking the right vitamin supplements to inflict my imagination on the rest of the world. If I find the right cocktail you'll know, because you'll be living in a much better world where people who only believe what they want to believe are prohibited from voting or selling things.

Solipsism is a helluva drug.
