Creativity is the most important thing in a late-capitalist economy. -

Creativity is all we have after the machines automate everything - else away: after the building, the scrapping, the designing, the - selling and buying; after the preparation of meals, the housework, - the hunting and the gathering; after the sources of pleasure and - pain and all in between are hefted from us by faceless, good-natured - machines in the name of progress, we will have only our minds left, - and that's no given either. -

We must fight for our minds over all else. -

We must be weird; we must create things; we must take care that they - be not useful or sensical or monetizable; we must shatter - the meaning of the machine, for the machine can only make meaning - from things it understands. -

We must be ineffable. +
