"We  have  to  stop  consuming  our  culture.  We  have  to  create  culture.  Don't  watch  TV,  don't  read  magazines,  don't  even  listen  to  NPR.  Create  your  own  roadshow.  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,  you  are  disempowered.  You  are  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.  This  is  shit-brained  this  kind  of

thinking.  That  is  all  cultural  diversion.  And  what  is  real  is  you  and  your  friends,  your  associations,  your  highs,  your  orgasms,  your  hopes,  your  plans,  and  your  fears.  And  we  are  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?".
