Apocalypse Culture (Taschenbuch)

Anyway, call me neurotic or hysterical, but the book is so sickening and repulsive that I could barely stand looking at the pictures without feeling like I was going to retch and retch and retch. As far as the writings go, if you like to read the sad and incoherent ramblings of psychopaths, sociopaths, psychotics, drop outs, and the sexually abused, then be brave and go for it. Otherwise, if you want to pity them, but just are too damned repulsed to do it, then you'd better not read any of it.

Is this book saying anything about culture? My opinion is not really any more than a hundred million pornographic internet sites are.

Should this stuff, not the book per se, but the stuff that goes on in it, be banned as obscene? Probably not, there's this First Amendment thing that every maniac likes to use to keep his "art" alive, but hey . . . I wouldn't want to have this garbage stuffed in my face everyday. So as long as it stays on the fringes of society, I guess its kinda sorta alright to be there, maybe.

Are these highly delusional and psychopathic, probably sexually abused people curable? Maybe, but I sure don't want to make it my goal to set out to cure them of their psychoses.

Is the world coming to an end? Maybe.

As I recall, it's called "Agriculture - the demon engine of civilisation". The writer suggests that, for 000's of years, humans lived in balance with nature, in small, healthy bands of nomadic hunter gatherers, moving around with the seasons. There were no wars and no sense of individuality, as there were no possessions.

Then agriculture came along, and we had trade, pollution, religion, the rise of an elite class, famine, disease, war, mass-industry, popular culture, all based on the degradation of animals and the rape of the planet.

We are taught that, over time, humans "learnt" how to plant seeds, domesticate animals, etc, and that this is somehow "better", because we were able to feed more people and have more time for leisure. What do we do with our leisure time? Surf the net, watch The Simpsons, get "mystical" and gas Jews.

WHY did we move over to agriculture, if the results have been so awful?

Without doubt, the most important shift in human consciousness occured at this point. Yet no one has come up with a reason for the crucial change. If something aint broke, why fix it?

Aliens giving us a bit of a kick (thanks guys)? Climate change?

I would be happy to discuss this essay with anyone.

It's been a while since I've read this so I'm not doing it justice. I just remember not wanting to put it down.

If you like this book, also check out all the Re/Search books, the Amok Sourcebooks, Cosmic Trigger, and Kooks.
