rage against the dying of the light

The death of creativity is evident everywhere, especially when you flip on yer fuckin' tube, but everywhere. People reading headlines only and letting that go directly into their personal CPUs. Movies all way heavy to special effects and exploding things and very light on story and script. Formulaic everything. Shit! That drives me nuts!

People freaking that they're gonna take our intertubes away from us, when it has become the PRIMARY implement for actual dissent abatement. ONE guy succeeds transcendentally in using it to free us, and the NWO guys freak, but it isn't ONLY the bad guys, now is it? Nope. All our so-called heroes in this series of pipes are scurrying to place themselves somewhere safe in response to this actual threat of REAL liberation... and, contrary to what you might think, the SAFEST position is the hand-wringing over the mere thought of the loss of our medium.

The internet has already become no place for those whose coping mechanism is ignoring actuality—which would be a minimum of 90% of us—and at least 9 of the other 10% are using this medium to release the pressure of their mounting ire—so, pfeh, snap out of it! Don't be an idiot. And don't mistake the contours of techno goodies for creativity. No. Creativity involves truly stepping out of the dominant paradigms and producing something truly made of valuable insight, which involves genuine courage, NOT the imitation of it, NOT the lip service of it, NOT the constant turning of it into endless strings of cyber glossolalia never involving leaving our seats in the great stadium where humans watch other humans being ground up like hamburger, after being tortured beyond endurance.

The ancients called this world Endurance, but they didn't mean enduring through ignoring, and "ignoring" also includes paying attention as a spectator attends an event, EVEN when you SAY something. I've been hearing from a lot of outposts on this far out plane that people don't WANT to be free, are desperate to have their choices taken away, that the scientific atheists blasting away at the androids for Christ are as eager for adherence to a set of rules as those they so viciously revile, that all those patronizing prig progressives are even more bent on fascism than the conservatives they deride so blindly and smugly, and it's so damn obviously true I'm almost never quit of the feeling my head will explode. Go fuck a robot, the lot of you, or wake the hell up.
