Normal people: Why do we go to school? To learn. Why do we learn? To get into university. Why do we go to university? So we have a better future and earn more money.
Me: Why do we go to school? To learn. Why do we learn? To get into university. Why do we go to university? To get an education. Why do we need an education? So we understand ourselves a little better. Why do we need to understand ourselves? So we know what we want to do. So what to we want to do? We want to change the world.

On the topic of chickens.
Chicken matsutake soup is AMAZING. It's one of my favourite foods (drinks? :S) and is one of the only ways I like to eat meat.
Regular chicken is about 4 dollars each. Organic free-range chicken is 17 dollars.
My family and I got to thinking about this and discussing this around the dinner table.
Me: The $4 chicken must feel so bad. He must be thinking, "We both lived around the same time, we weigh around the same... how come Mr. Organic over there is worth more than 4 times as me?"
Mom: Mr. Organic is healthier for you and he's treated more nicely.
Me: But no really mom, if you think about it, they're pretty similar in most aspects. But think of it this way. There are two kinds of people in the world. $4 chickens are normal people who feel sad because they're not worth as much as organic chickens, and $17 organic chickens are people like Zuckerberg who are worth a lot.
And that is the world, summarized into chickens.
