On Medium: Happiness is for Sheep

This article is about how happiness is a form of domestication and mental enslavement, and how the hyperaware are obliged to suffer and to laugh in honour of the world's monstrous absurdity.

    1. Thanks for that link. The cartoons are as cool as the song. Hadn't heard of Father Misty before.

  2. We act like sheep when we follow the path of least resistance. There's more art now than ever before in all media, which means there's likely something for everyone. It's a question of finding it, though. If we don't take the time to make the fine distinctions in figuring out what we really like, we may just go with the flow and settle for what's popular. It's rare that the highest-quality work becomes the most popular in its field.

    There must be lots of great TV and movies. This is a golden age for premium, thought-provoking TV. It's still just TV, of course, and the more you see of it, the harder it is to impress you.

    I still think it's more fun to create art than to consume it.
