-- Ginsberg's Theorem
Every major philosophy that attempts to make life seem meaningful
is based on the negation of one part of Ginsberg's Theorem. To wit:

(1) Capitalism is based on the assumption that you can win.
(2) Socialism is based on the assumption that you can break even.
(3) Mysticism is based on the assumption that you can quit the game.
