  I still can’t believe we got Matrix and Fight Club in the same year.

  I had a 5 year fight club loneliness phase. Like Tyler, traveled a ton for work, literally waking up in dfw, leaving and Seattle. Was lonely and depressed af. Quit the job,  invested more in friends, and went outside more and into climbing. Also, got a dog. Destruction doesn't solve everything but destroying a life that leaves you empty has possible upside.

  I saw Fight Club 5 times in the theater. I was 21 years old, had a good job, car, apartment and a "bright future". And I was suffering from crippling depression. Within a year I had sold all of my belongings and moved to South America. That was over 20 years ago, I've never looked back and have never been more content. Live life on your own terms, on your own decisions. Good or bad, you're in control. You don't need that new tv.

  His job isn't meaningless, however. It's much worse than that. He is actively helping the company he works for cheat and destroy people.

  The Truth will set you free, but first it will make you miserable.

  The path to peace starts with observing your own mind.

  The final ineptitude is revealed in the books closing pages when the narrator believes he is free from Tyler in a psych ward and the orderly too addresses him as Mr. Durden

  Fight Club has always been a film that gets shat on for those who would emulate it. No one ever does a serious analysis of why people might want to. Its always dismissed in the same way as huge swaths of the population. Thank you for giving it a more serious analysis.
