Justice League of America #261 - “Last Stand” (1987)

Art is: "an emotional idea which has been sculpted by human hands in order to create a functioning record of human emotional idea history." Thoughts and emotions are the same, which is why the coffee drinkers designing buildings and urban centers based on the secret dreams of the designer harbour emotional ideas of human routine, human ideas of order, a man's idea of how he might impress others. In moving forward towards tomorrow, human beings adopt emotional ideas which are not constrained by physical space, 'tessecrats,' and the function of human being emotional idea into the future until the twenty first century has been to settle the globe. In the twenty first century, what are the emotional ideas which spawn our further potential as distinct entities of genetic composition. Where do we fit in the future, why do we push ourselves forward each day?

Each person begins life learning how to process their being to facilitate, 'order,' in their environment. As they achieve identity of an individual, they must formulate a rational as to the mysteries of existence. Ex., "Why the fuck I gotta wake up early to go to a job I don't like..."

You go to a, "job," doing work valuable to others. These others have determined, either through identity of individual emotional idea, or by order of another human being. (firemen the former, police the latter) There are times when I look at the amazing work of cities and I think, "Those people know what's going on!" or I will believe that there are vast networks of entities moving together moving our human society to a place of mutual benefit. Surely there must be a supercomputer deep within the wells of the Earth, a supercomputer directing our efforts towards mutual benefit...right? ...computers...computers are produced by the government...you mean to tell me that the United States government has contracts with Microsoft, whose computing processes are ubiquitous to twenty first century Western living, and that the U.S. government has government employees and government-approved science creating this computing system? You're telling me that there is no other being, in Human society, other than humans which may correctly predict fortunate outcomes?

Well, if computers are made by people to serve people's needs, then what the-- who do I trust? Emotional ideas? What if these emotional ideas have been produced by a person/people whose prediction of fortunate outcomes benefits themself and not my person? The only emotional ideas worth protecting and serving are those emotional ideas whose logical debates shield the universe from stagnation. Art which encourages a human being to produce emotional ideas which defend the inspiration of emotional ideas of the individual person are those tessecrats, those art thought-creations which are most worth to the future of humans reproducing in sacs of amniotic fluid inside one half of a mated pair of humans.

I am telling you that making buildings does not generate sufficient long-term growth potential of the human beings, or the planet Earth. There are no networks of subterranean mole peoples beneath the Earth, nor a supercomputer compiling NEWS of historic events with the intention of creating long-term beauty from the basis of one simple mathematical theorem of beauty-- because human beings do not yet know everything. We are in a constant cycle of creatively engaging with our environment, and as we grow older, growing towards our final form, a human must act to fulfill the needs which no other human can recognize. You gotta work for yourself, bud.

An emotional idea will inspire and carry a human through years of labour without seeming purpose because of a thought worth holding on to. An emotional theorem recognized by your elders and ancestors as readily as your peers and children. If you live in a region of North America which was once covered by an enormous glacier which receded North yet left a bevy of stones behind, you ought to build your homes out of that stone and not out of the construction materials from an alien environment. The history of the world and those events which shape modernity are not written by mathematical algorithm, but by human effort. In time, we will be able to read the radioactive ripple left by our presence, like ripples in a pond, from the existence which occurred before us in this four-dimensional universe of space and time, and will it be the emotional idea of the Twin Towers or the emotional idea of...i.d.k., Interpol, the Strokes, Marvel comics, which will resonate more clearly? Will we make 9/11 jokes more readily than Super-man? What does this indicate about the majority of humanity of the West in the Twenty first century?
