“We have to re-create our own culture.  Don’t watch TV, don’t read magazines, don’t even listen to NPR. Create your own roadshow instead. The nexus of space and time where you are right now is the most immediate sector of your Universe, and if you’re worrying about Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton or Mark Zuckerberg or any other so-called ‘celebrity’, then you disempowering yourself; you’re giving it all away to icons — icons which are preened and maintained by an mass media machine so that you want to dress like X or have lips like Y or believe like Z or speak like W … This is a shit-brained kind of thinking that is nothing more cultural diversion … The only thing that is real is you and your friends and your associations and your community, and yet we are told that we’re unimportant, that we’re secondary, that we’re too ill-informed, that we’re peripheral.  And once you accept those lies from on-high you become a mere player, and you don’t want to even play in the game. You have one primary mission that you must engage before your life can truly begin – you have to reclaim your mind.  You have to get it out of the hands of the cultural engineers who are turning you into a half-baked moron consuming nothing but the trash – both physical and ideological — that’s being manufactured from the bones of this dying world.” ~ inspired by Terrence McKenna
