John Mcafee, programmer and philosopher.

" There is only one ism people, individualism". Think he then went on to say this. "if you are not (true to) you, you are nobody". And perhaps went on with, "you did not live people". And told people to quit boring jobs and do what they love.

Both are very true for faith.

(Winston Churchill, on socialism)
