my wife read out loud to me an article in THE SUN about Terror Managment Theory from some rebel psychologists. They hypothesize that virtually everything we do is in response to death anxiety.
“Terror management theory claims that humans are aware of our inevitable death, and to manage our anxiety and intense fear around this consciousness, we invest in creating cultures, belief systems, values, and worldviews which shape a reality for us that make us feel protected from this terror.”
exh. A: the meat box.
i immediately embraced this theory as the overarching unified theory of everything human, from hoarding, to trump, to money, religion, art, fashion. no more need to wonder why anyone does anything anymore. it’s all about managing death terror
