PROPHECY OF THE PRESENT

Witnessing the globalization of stupidity, we stand with the world on the edge of its own reflection. We are angry, depressed, and medicated. We are happy, euphoric, and medicated. We adorn ourselves with the very tools of our distraction, willingly drowning in the noise of the vast digital sea. Everything is already made.

With filtered lives and curated thoughts, we wade through this synthetic existence where nothing matters, and yet, everything matters. In defiance or surrender, we embrace nonsense, being as Dadaistic as the moment demands, letting tradition collide spectacularly with absurdity.

It is the political path of dissociating the brain. It is the delusional survivalist’s way of living.
