Put the Art Pedal to the Metal...
Culture Is Not Your Friend: Terence McKenna on the evils of culture, consumer mania, squirrely religions, meme processors, gnostic demons, and cannibalistic demiurges, among other things, none of which includes bicycles.
"What'll it be? Alienated cynical intellectual or slack-jawed half-wit consumer of the horseshit being handed down from on high?"

Enjoyed that - thanks. Been thinking about art lately, poetic expression and response and how it is different from the "utilitarian" forms of expression of media, marketing , even craft....
Thanks for more food for thought.
My pleasure...not enough of this kind of thinking in the world, anymore, or at least the public expression of it. Everyone seems quite satisfied with mediocrity, the status quo, the same tired, old bromides, and bullshit traditions honored simply because the last generation honored them and to dishonor or even ignore them risks alienation and ire.
Sad thing is, we're all guilty of it to some degree or another.
Okay, back to the beer.
