Would be nice to see a collection of some of our favorite RP tidbits from popular culture. I'm thinking of some good songs, books, speeches, historical figures from the past. Many philosophers and even modern intellectuals like Christopher Hitchens have gained respect for their intellect while going against the grain.
I'll start off by offering Demian by Herman Hesse, which is full of the idea that you must give no fucks and not base your life/happiness on society's rules, including sexually:
Therefore each of us must discover for himself what is permitted and what is forbidden — forbidden to him. It’s possible for someone never to do any forbidden thing, and yet be a thorough scoundrel. And vice versa. — Actually, it’s merely a question of convenience! Whoever is too comfort-loving to do his own thinking and be his own judge simply adapts to the pre-existing negative commandments. It’s easy for him. Others feel commandments of their own within themselves; for them things are forbidden which every respectable man does daily, and other things are permissible for them which are normally tabooed. Everyone must stand on his own two feet.
