The Postmodern Hangover

Our downfall is that we are taught the true believer is the real danger. Instead of correcting past mistakes and really be right; it’s thinking that you shouldn’t be right at all.  

Men have already done a great deal of thinking about things much bigger than this.

Don’t be polite—polite consist of automatic archetypal mannerisms that exist only as if to say to one another “I’m here, I don’t care, but I don’t want to be mean.” instead of being polite be considerate.

We all stumble upon new abstractions, new ideas, new art, and new music for the first time. The discovery of these new abstractions are individual incidents. If the individual discovering lacks context and understanding of their discovery then the individual projects themselves on the discovery. In example, the same way white Europeans projected themselves on Jesus Christ thus making Christ European as well. This is a dangerous form of discovery and leads to frustration, unnecessary convolution, anachronistic, and assumptions rather than definitions—rather than understanding. Be weary of those that project themselves on their discoveries, those who do keep, and at times unknowingly, a personal hidden agenda.

I feel a good designer is someone that has a hyper-consumer mentality. I’m not defining someone that is materialistic or has an over active shopping disorder. I define it as someone that is submerged culturally in the presents or absents of consumption and have made an effort to understand their perception of it. They’ve acquired a certain profound understanding of aesthetics that can be pleasantly consumed, yet they are indifferent to the consumption.

As Lana Del Ray would put it, I guess I’m looking for a girl that’s “ride or die whether [I] fail or fly”.

Fear and hope both anticipate the future. One pain, the other pleasure.

I wish to never be anything more than potential because “potential points beyond itself”

The bible points out the benefits of this humility; “Let he who thinks he stands take heed least he fall”

I never use to be this, sedated. What happened?

Don’t trust people that lean away to text
