re: Seeing the film “Fight Club” really changed my perspective about the world we live in

It all depends on the viewer’s perspective. A lot of people, including myself, relate with Edward Norton’s character. He’s an average dude who works an unfulfilling job, lives alone, is dead on the inside, and is completely numb to the outside world. Eventually, the Tyler Durden in him says “frick it, I want to FEEL like I’m alive” which is why he starts a fight club.

We all have a Tyler Durden personality inside of us. We might reel it in and keep it stored away so we can at least be presentable to society, but it never leaves us. It’s our primal instincts as male homosapiens to have a lack of empathy, be vicious, and compete with other men to be at the top of the hierarchy. It’s how we survived the Ice Age.
