#selfosophy

From the 'Millennium' episode 'Jose Chung's Doomsday Defense' there is reference to a rags-to-riches actor by the name of Bobby Wingood -- Whose entire career turned around once he embraced... 'Selfosophy.' "...you're familiar with the films of Bobby Wingood? Bobby used to be an out–of–work actor – high on drugs, beating up paparazzi because they wouldn't take his picture. Then he found Selfosophy. Learned how to reject rage and anger, and focus on more meaningful emotions Now he's rich and famous and dating high–price fashion models. In fact, many of Hollywood's elite are Selfosophists..."

There's two posters on the wall of the Selfosophist's office, tried recreating one, but could not find the goofy image of a certain "Bobby Wingood" and had to improvise...

There are three strands of thought and they are:

a) Life is a celebration of meaning (Countering both Sartre and Camus view that life is meaningless, absurd and monotonous)

b) The choices that I make in life make me a privileged being (Opposing Sartre’s choice of being condemned to be free; the choices that I make are prudent, creative and different)

c) Deify the ID, Glorify the Ego and subvert the superego; here I am expanding on the Freudian notion of the (ID, Ego and Superego)

Selfosophy is a new religion invented by me and it comes from self and Sophia (wisdom). I have come to this conclusion after experiencing religions which are conservative, puritan, moralistic and conformist.

a) Selfosophy promotes self-interest and self-interest is the best interest.

b) Selfosophy gives the freedom to experience drugs and alcohol for achieving altered states of consciousness.

c) Selfosophy promotes a promiscuous life.

d) Selfosophy celebrates life’s meaning

e) Selfosophy has the inclination to lead a life of hedonism.
