\u201cWe have to create culture, don\u2019t watch TV, don\u2019t read magazines, don\u2019t
\neven listen to NPR. Create your own roadshow. The nexus of space and
\ntime where you are now is the most immediate sector of your universe,
\nand if you\u2019re worrying about Michael Jackson or Bill Clinton or somebody
\n else, then you are disempowered, you\u2019re giving it all away to icons,
\nicons which are maintained by an electronic media so that you want to
\ndress like X or have lips like Y. This is shit-brained, this kind of
\nthinking. That is all cultural diversion, and what is real is you and
\nyour friends and your associations, your highs, your orgasms, your
\nhopes, your plans, your fears. And we are told \u2018no\u2019, we\u2019re unimportant,
\nwe\u2019re peripheral. ‘Get a degree, get a job, get a this, get a that.\u2019 And
\n then you\u2019re a player, you don\u2019t want to even play in that game. You
\nwant to reclaim your mind and get it out of the hands of the cultural
\nengineers who want to turn you into a half-baked moron consuming all
\nthis trash that\u2019s being manufactured out of the bones of a dying world.\u201d\u2015 Terence McKenna<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
