"To be honest, I would not invest a cent in companies that are stoically or epicurean. I do not want to just accept this random, crazy world because I can not change it anyway. No, I want to change it, I want to shape it, and I have a hell of a lot of fun with it."

Interesting. I find both the "accept the world as is" and "bend the world to your will" to be equally nihilistic. Two sides of the same psychopathology. The integrative approach seems to me to be seek increasing entanglement with the universe.

Replying to and
Yes, this is close to my view, though I have some differences with the buddhist view. Entanglement for the psyche is the opposite of alienation. At once distinct from, and at one with, the universe. I haven't yet fully worked it out. Might end up writing about it at some point.
