// Will Storr vs the Supernatural // 15.05.19
Emotions and free will are just an illusion that we have to stop us blowing our brains out.
The man who expends the most effort on the presentation of his personality is the man who’s got the most to hide.
I’m rarely happier than at the outset of a long, quiet train journey, when I’ve found a forward-facing place to sit where nobody can see me.
Hypnogogic (half asleep) state
At the moment, I really want to be by myself. I find it difficult spending this much time with strangers. I feel like a bride who has to keep a piano-grin hoisted for the whole day.
By now I’ve almost completely lost control over which thoughts are staying in my mind and which ones are coming out of my mouth.
Ouija comes for the French and German words for ‘Yes’.
As I got older I started to learn more about the contradictions, the baffling rules and the surreal illogicality of the Church. And as I became more questioning of the low-level doom, the funny costumes, the weird tales and the rank hypocrisy, increasingly I’d just think... naaaah.
To take the sceptical stance, you need to just know somewhere deep in your soul that you’re right. In other words, to be a true fundamentalist hardcore disbeliever, you have to have faith. The hard sceptics are just the same as priests because they offer absolutes, they give answers, and you only get answers from charlatans.
