"How is it possible to become a full thinking being when one is essentially still a larvae, and can only grow in the manner of larvae, bloating and aggregating... never transforming?"

The new revolution must be a revolution of intellectualism. We've had enough stupidity, force-fed to us as culture. We're tired of the dead dialogue being pushed on us and the shabby art clogging our feeds while Suppressed artists fight to be seen. We're tired of being told to dumb ourselves down, manufacture outrage, and participate in a cultural environment, of relentless negativity.

The smart artists are finding each other. The talented writers are finding each other. The sensitive people are finding each other - a rejection of algorithmic authoritarianism. Sensitivity, intelligence, and imagination will outlive the corporatized, censored, pasteurized Slop being force-fed to us as culture. It's delivered through the algorithm as entertainment. It's labeled as art. Most of it is neither. Real artists are coming together to defend good ideas, bad ideas, empty ideas, dangerous ideas, uncensored ideas - anything with a pulse. We've had enough of mainstream stupidity and the terrified sanitization of everything strange, difficult, provocative, or alive. The revolution doesn't need permission..It's already happening - one work of art at a time.

sorry, I’m actually terrified of the capacity of my own mind and repress it as much as possible so I can’t actually think about anything, and I know it’s destroying my life and erasing all my potential and dreams but after doing that for so long I’ve developed a fear of failure so immense that I’m immobilised…

abs or biceps?

I would love a man with a brain. is that to much to ask?

(Biceps obvi)
