Everything is very conservative. Very intellectual and categorical. These kids on YouTube are very knowledgeable and efficient. Very orderly and academic. Nothing is weird. Nothing is counterculture. Yet weirdos are still weirdos. Bums are still bums. Stigmas are still stigmas. Creeps are still creeps. And people still care about their reputations.
I blast all of that. I embrace cliches and blast them. I blast selfhood narcissistically. Everything is fair game. Commercials that interrupt YouTube videos can be annoying and you can recognize them as cut-ups. All commercials are cut-ups, cutting up the narratives of movies and shows. The various news going across the bottom of the screen on the news is cut-ups. Mainstream media uses cut-up methods. You notice how surreal commercials are, using Theatre of the Absurd methods? The Internet is a drug, addictive and paranoia-inducing.
I think of all the rebellious rock n roll paraphernalia I bought as a teenager. All the alcohol I drink. All the drug dealers my angry, jealous old friends gave all their money and girls to.
Exchange is exciting. Money, Time, Technologies, these realities of Exchange add momentum to the atmosphere and aesthetic of the means of divination and art and pattern-following.
Most all of that is intense ways of distracting your mind, while the dreamwork is going on, sorting out what's what.
But if you don't go Silent a few times a day, or at least a weak, you'll burn out or become trapped in the methods until there is nothing but addiction.
When I write these kinds of messages, that's method.
Everything else, including my poems, are Silence.
