This essay was originally published in the United States in 1975 by The Spectacle under the title "Self-Theory: the pleasure of thinking for yourself." It cleverly states "The ideological supermarket--like any supermarket--is fit only for looting. It is of more practical use to us to move along the shelves, rip open the packets, take out what looks authentic and useful, and dump the rest." In other words, recreate yourself, your actions and your beliefs as you discover and hold onto only the things which are full of truth and bring you the greatest peace. Don't find one thing you like contained inside of an entire philosophy, only to accept the rest of the philosophy without question.
That is deep but is right up my alley. Enjoy.
