He has some interesting things to say, considering he is a bit unhinged. Fight Club was pretty interesting, but I found it hard to take seriously. There was something a bit pathetic about the whole situation - I guess that was the idea.

I thought that making soap from the liposuctioned fat off rich women, then selling it back to them was poetic

Yes, and very nauseating. Especially how they showed it in the film

I really enjoyed the film and do subscribe to the idea to feel vital and enjoy life more you have to push your limits. Although bare knucke fights are probably not the way to do it for most of us. Finding a way of life where you regularly push yourself physically and mentally toward a (productive?) goal is a nice way to live.

P.S. Selling rich women back there fat in the form of soap is a stroke of genius IMO.

He's an odd guy, but there is some wisdom to this:

His message - which I happily found still peeking through in Diary - is indeed a radical one, and although I disagree with him, he speaks for a massive alienated constituency of angry American men who we can't ignore. "I realised in my twenties that the social model for happiness that my parents had brought me up with - based on trying to get money and property - just wasn't going to make me happy. I could live that life, but I'd be miserable. But I couldn't see anything beyond it. All they could tell me was, you know, get a nice house and pour all your energy into your garden. Work hard at having a really great yard. That's all they could say."
