About Me
Kit Carruthers is a 24 year old artist and philosopher from Winnipeg, Canada. He is an enthusiast of transpersonal psychology and metaphysics; he is a futurist and an advocate of social reform.
The teachings of Kit Carruthers will lead you to a state of enlightenment. A state of pure bliss. They will break you down and make you understand that you are an uneducated, uncultured retard who should be sterilized. And then build you back up and make you understand how everything can be so beautiful.
