Are you a consumer?
Drugs can be fun. Drugs can be hell.
Used properly, drugs are tools - they can be good, great, more powerful than
you can imagine (but they can easily backfire - yes, even unto you).
Many legal consumer goods do more damage than chemicals. Model
citizens' model houses are testimonies to 'drugs'/virtual realities. Yes,
life should be artful, but this artifice does not expand life, it's a defence to
protect us from contact. I declare a war on furniture. Furniture is
the opiate of the masses. True, this lifestyle is more pragmatic -
sustainable - than becoming a crack addict - I concede that comparison.
But in itself it is not sustainable, and it is not joyful - it pales in
comparison to what life can be:
You think virtual reality is great? Wait til you try reality!
No, not flat reified reality (where we take what we experience as an
inherent inevitable fact of the world) - nor a reality I want you to believe in
- but deconstructed reality. Play with reality - play with the
variables - and get real - make true contact with people - and own the
world - be responsible. Are you experienced? Have you felt how
satisfying it is to discover you - yes, even you - can be responsible?
The wacky world we seek with drugs can be found in pure play. So next
time you stop by your local crack house, bring permission to play -
that's what most people crave - freedom is free.
