Singularity - Northlane

We have to create culture.

Don’t watch TV.

Don’t read magazines.

Don’t even listen to NPR.

Create your own road show.

The nexus of space and time

where you are now

is the most immediate sector of your universe.

And if you’re worrying about

Michael Jackson or Bill Clinton or somebody else

then you’re dissempowered.

You’re 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, or some-

This is shit-brained 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, and your fears.

And we’re told:

'No.'

'We're unimportant.'

'We're peripheral.'

'Get a degree.'

'Get a job.'

'Get a this.'

'Get a that.'

And then you’re a player.

You don’t even want to 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.

Where is that at?"
