Catalysts', to say what has never been said, to see what has never been seen. To draw, paint, sing, sculpt, dance and act, what has never before been done, to push the envelope of creativity and language. And what's really important is, I call it "the self presence of direct experience", which is a fancy term which just simply means we have to stop consuming our culture. We have to create culture, don't watch TV, don't read magazines,don't even listen to NPR, create your own roadshow. The nexus of space and time where 'you' are 'now', is the most immediate sector of your universe, and if your worrying about Michael Jackson or Bill Clinton or somebody else, then you are disempowered, your giving it all away to icons, icons which are maintained by an electronic media. So that you want to dress like X or have lips like Y. This is shitbrained, this kind of thinking. That is all cultural diversion, and What is real is you and your friends and your associations, your highs, your orgasms, your hopes, your plans, your fears. And we are told 'no', we're unimportant, we're perfieral. Get a degree, get a job, get a this, get a that. And then your a player, you don't want to even play in that game, you want to reclaim your mind, and get it out of the hands of the cultural engineers who want to turn you into a half-baked moron, consuming all this trash that's being manufactured out of the bones of a dying world.
