What is ‘tuning in and dropping out’, and is such completely possible? The old adage of ‘politics are for people who can’t run their own lives,’ is seemingly self-contradictory. Maybe lest one lives on Sentinal Island… but even with such an instance of seclusion it’s only based on external politics that prohibits colonialism in their regard. Notwithstanding the Sentinal people undoubtedly have their own internal politics within their fascinatingly insular culture.
“Dropping out,” the touted Timothy Leary ideal seems a call more for decentralized utilitarian use of product. Chaos magic promotion. The last ropes sold as Karl Marx once fetishized, not to make a necessarily literal but in the least metaphorical string that may end in being a noose. Conceptually it’s controlled chaos for internal interruption. “Music for the mind,” as a provocative noise artist once explained it to Tom Metzger on his cable TV Race & Reason series. A mesh, collage of contradictions melded together.
Very postmodern; all thanks to Savitri Devi, the Dadaists and Beatnicks with their addictions and overall jive of insanity superfluous.
“Are we not part of this world?” as absurdly stupid it’s suffering can and/or may be?
Even a secluded hermit had a start in some social part.
Nietzsche scribed in Human, All Too Human that, “the shortness of human life leads to many assertions concerning the qualities of man,” however, undeniable is the observation that it is largely a social ape; and with the current age of disconnected connection, dropping out is almost as it would seems form of slow suicide. Apathy encroaches nonetheless in the inevitable fugue.
***
Destination reached too soon
Only to be gone as to lose
End in rear, unable to veer
Can’t even see if it’s possible here.
Pray, pity, pleasure
love, laugh, love
Stagnate, serenade, shoot
Unison stopping boots
all to plead, means to loot
Utilitarian is a fetish; application a small dish
Moments of Might
Fawn, not right or flight
if it could only be a last night
