 But what I really want to say is, I said it early and I say it a lot in my shows, New Years is a good time to really sit down and think. Think about what? Well, about the most important thing you can think about, which is your life. Is it going the way you want it to go? Are you achieving the things you want to achieve? Are you being ruthless, ruthless in pursuing happiness, in pursuing life, in pursuing your values? Are you being ruthless in adhering to a rational moral code, to being rational? But again, rational doesn't mean spark-like, unemotional, detached, the opposite in a sense. It means passionate, valuer, living for your values, striving to achieve the values, fighting to achieve the values, working to achieve the values, just fill in. Replacing your life, your values, your enjoyment, your happiness at the center. And there's this puritan element in American society and European society, which goes back to the E5-inch TV, which says, oh, don't spend too much. Don't have too much fun. Don't have too much pleasure. And as a consequence, Americans tend to get drunk, and Europeans do, tend to get drunk as a substitute for actual enjoyment, for actual pleasure, pleasure. Find things that cause you pleasure, please yourself, enjoy yourself, have fun. Don't do anything stupid now, but, and pamper yourself, spoil yourself. I mean, start by achieving. Make sure to enjoy it. Now, of course, everything's at what price? Everything is a trade-off. But think about those trade-offs. Don't let the Christian guilt in you deny you the pleasure, deny you the values, deny you the spending the money, subsue your values, work hard, achieve great things, and then enjoy your achievements, and spend time enjoying your achievements, and relish them, all right? What we need today, what I call the new intellectual, would be any man or woman who is willing to think. Meaning, any man or woman who knows that man's life must be guided by reason, by the intellect, not by feelings, wishes, whims, or mystic revelations. Any man or woman who values his life and who does not want to give in to today's cult of despair, cynicism, and impotence, and does not intend to give up the world to the dark ages and to the role of the collectivist brought.
