You may be the last generation who has the possibility to rebel.
And if you don´t rebel, there may be no more chances: humanity can be reduced to a robot-like existence. So rebel while the time is still there!

“The Outsider is someone who sees
“too deep and too much”
and that most of what he sees is “chaos.”
He or she lives in the world with a sense of “strangeness” and “unreality.”
The safe, stable reality that most of us perceive is for the Outsider an illusion, a façade obscuring a more dangerous and threatening possibility: that of nothingness, nihilism, and the void, the complete inconsequentiality of human life and all its achievements.
For the Outsider, the values and meanings that constitute life for most people
— a good job, a big home, a nice bank account — are empty and makeshift; they are, at best, “attempts to gloss over, to make look civilized and rational something that is savage, unorganized, irrational.”
He stands for Reality.
He seeks a meaning and purpose that the everyday world cannot provide and his salvation lies in understanding this and embracing it with total conviction.”
—Gary Lachman, Beyond the Robot
