Singularity-Northlane

[00:00.92]Northlane—Singularity [01:12.09] [01:13.56]"We have to stop consuming our culture. [01:17.23]We have to create culture. [01:19.46]Don't watch TV, don't read magazines, [01:23.68]don't even listen to NPR. [01:26.34]Create your own roadshow. [01:29.73]The nexus of space and time, where you are now, [01:34.71]Is the most immediate sector of your universe. [01:38.85]And if you're worrying about [01:40.55]Michael Jackson or Bill Clinton or somebody else, [01:44.21]you are disempowered. [01:46.13]You are giving it all away to icons. [01:49.39]Icons which are maintained by an electronic media, [01:52.98]So that you want to dress like X or have lips like Y. [01:57.47]This is ****-brained this kind of thinking. [02:00.34]That is all cultural diversion. [02:04.59]And what is real is you and your friends, [02:08.53]And your associations, your highs, [02:11.77]Your ******s, your hopes, [02:14.06]Your plans, and your fears. [02:16.07]And we are told no. [02:18.03]We're unimportant, we're peripheral, [02:20.68]Get a degree, get a job, [02:23.12]Get a this, get a that, [02:24.76]And then you're a player. [02:26.40]You don't even want to play in that game. [02:28.63]You want to reclaim your mind [02:32.02]And get it out of the hands of the cultural engineers [02:35.83]Who want to turn you into [02:37.16]A half-baked moron consuming all this trash [02:41.77]That's being manufactured out of the bones of a dying world. [02:45.60]Where is that at?" [02:47.22]
