It would be great to be a sheep.

I watched movie trailers for the past hour. I've decided that I'm going back to my original state of non-skepticism. The world around me is what it is and human nature is good. Join me... in blind blissful sensational consumerism...

Liberal

Don't get too comfortable being a liberal, because just as soon as you've baked all of your liberal ideas into a well-defined, cohesive layer cake, you'll find that the radical generation following you has already surpassed your liberalism with reckless disregard for the socially conscious perspective you have toiled to form over all these years. What a waste of time being liberal! It is possible to live a good, well-reasoned life without labeling yourself, without jumping into the ziploc baggy of liberalism, only to find it perforated and full of rotten attitudes, and moldy notions.

It only takes 20 years for a liberal to become a conservative without changing a single idea.
- Robert Anton Wilson ~ R.I.P. RAW

Also check it: General Semantics (The most important premise of General Semantics has been succinctly expressed as "The map is not the territory; the word is not the thing defined".,[1] While Aristotle wrote that a true definition gives the essence of the thing defined (in Greek to ti ên einai, literally “the what it was to be”), general semantics denies the possibility of finding such an essence.), Kingdom of Loathing

New Writers

I've just discovered a music writer and journalist named Simon Reynolds out of Good Britain. He seems to be, at a glance, an astute observer of the undercurrents and underpinnings of the R&D end of modern music. I have slung a strand on over to it from the Spyder Web.

"But faux-black was once no problem at all; it was what you did, as a matter of course, to be pop, if you were white; the terms of entry. (Okay, there's exceptions, country/folk/showbiz sources, and "that voice", but by and large, it's true, for the 1960s at least, Pop in the moving-forward sense was black voices/moves/rhythms and white people putting on black voices/moves/rhythms, seemingly without a pang or a doubt that this was anything but the most natural thing in the world to do.)

So what SFJ is mourning here really is the loss of nerve--of gall, even--that enabled white rockers and poppers in the 60s to front. That white negro leap of courage. Faking it, basically, but in the process creating a new self that became your authentic self; a postracial superself."
- Simon Reynolds, 10.16.07 on his Blissblog

Listed as his inspirations, the philosophers Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari.

So very easy for my mind to wander in this virtual world. Three hours later, I now return to report that OiNK.cd is dead. And this article is interesting: Indie is dead.

Nearin on the Mul-Tie

My media are reproducing. My words abscond my illustrations. My pictures revoke my moovies. My blog vitiates my attempts at 'to wit'. Fuck words. Fuck Vegas. I made this: An ostentatious man will rather relate a blunder or an absurdity he has committed, than be debarred from talking of his own dear person.
- Joseph Addison
No, wait I didn't. How, usual to have been pegged before beginning to innovate. Technology seems the only socially legitimate medium for production. Culture, art, etc., are now reproductions of the previous. Create an original. I will worship you.

How many dolts have walked my path? 22 . . . million . . .
