A Distinct Phrase

[sidecross]

“…it may be because a culture that so radically trivializes art and demonizes psychedelics leaves few avenues to transcendence outside consumerism and religious fundamentalism.”

This phrase turned up in a film review by Manohla Dargis in the NYT.

wow, the avenue of consumerism DOES leads to trancendence.. take THAT john zerzan!

[Entelechy_Eclectic]

LMAO at the zerzan sarcasm! Nice one!

[Entelechy_Eclectic]

Oh, Sidecross, if I wasn’t so distracted by laughing at that Zerzan comment I probably would have said something like "You have a very good point about the trivialization of art and the taboo on psychedelics, which restrict our encounters with the transcendent"
