Authority and other notes

All authority is absurd to an extent. Religion and Society pressing and judging everyone. They do that because they have no power. You have the freedom to say and do what you want aslong as it doesn't harm others. But because of religious oppression on values in this country, I cant see some boobs on TV at 12 in the afternoon free of charge. It's crap! Seriously. Boob action at 12. You can call it Tits @ 12. That's awesome.

People aren't allowed freedom of expression, yet they are. You have to have some balls these days to say whats on your mind. Thomas Jefferson believed that native americans lived much happier lives because they didn't have government. In The United States, the government is run by the people, but really its only run by career politicians and the rich. The government doesn't have my consent to govern me unless it's run by the people. Direct Democracy = Midget leaders. Gotta have it.

Our society is going to collapse due to Television and the lack of self experience. Also with the fact that the class system is warped and the deterioration of the middle class has becomes more apparent each year. All people do is watch tv, eat a lot, and sleep. They're not helping anyone. They're not living. They're existing like a rock exists in the desert. Who cares. Rocks suck and so does the desert. Deserts totally suck. I don't need to get into that.

This country is filled with watchers, not do-ers. Really, everything that the US and the society is dependent on, industrial society relient on unrenewable resources, will crash and burn and die. You can just watch sports, it's football season and man, those patriots. They're good. They get paid so much god damn money for running around.

Why is everybody so disctracted? If you don't want to do anything about problems in this world, just be optimistic and supportive of those who do want to fix the problems. Give them a dollar or a hug or compliment them on their hair or new sofa they bought. That's all your good at anyway, loser.

Another note, artists have full ownership over their work. They made it, it's theirs. Artists who are already legitmate, aren't. They are just being used. Make sure you're aware of what you're doing when it comes to your own work.

Uses for this blog.

This blog is being used to post work that me and pat work on. I'll also post any news or publications about our work. My postings may include summaries of the philosophical nature of the group, what we'd like to represent.

I'd like to see the end of legitmacy as we know it. In my field, I'd like to see the end of television and films. What gets made because who is making it and behind it. Technology is destroying the music, tv, and film business of old. They're are plenty of jobs being filled by mindless drooling idiots in those industries. The older types can't multitask and don't have much skill. I know that MTV's producers are learning final cut. It's smart because soon we'll be living in a world where the editor/producer is dominate. Producers only doing a quarter of the effort with about 15 different jobs at a time, depending on what you're producing. They're producing way too much basically putting little energy into each project. Producers should grasp some tech skills or be prepared to lose their jobs in the next few years. The TV networks are going to end. I'd like to see the end of legitmacy in politics and having a direct democracy so that midgets and grandmas can be world leaders. It'd be pretty frickin awesome.

It's a great time for the artist and musican to earn all their money instead of depending on oppurtinistic cash addicts, people acting as if they're in the know. Oil and the old energy powers are feeling their end soon, same goes for the large media corporations. The individual can now create whatever they want. Dependency has always been a weakness. If you can't do it yourself then you are screwed. I have freedom. I can create whatever the hell I want, which ever way I want, figuring out my own structure and experimenting on my own work. Any education frowns upon that because you cant get a credit out of it, legitimacy in the form of a paper diploma. Credit is nothing compared to individual experience. The only true characteristic lacking in my generation is experience. The only way getting anywhere is through self education and realization. The only thing I learned through mainstream public schooling and 9 to 5 job is that people are empty. Watching TV, talking about TV, talking about the weather. No real self exploration, no breakthroughs. Just another day where nothing happened. The gift of thought and action washed away by distraction and a closed mind. Expand your horizons and go places you dont want to go.

We're living in a time where money isn't needed to make great things, giving more oppurtunity to artists. All you need is time. People can invest little and gain a lot. Talent and passion should be what is most valued. I'd like to discuss further on artist's ownership rights, the insider-artist's view of the outsider-artist, vice versa, the class system, and why humanity will end.


Legitimacy is completely absurd, turned upside down, and wrong.
