one should not chase the electric dream, but strive to became an extension to its dreamer
Automatism in the age of the children of Unix.
It's a box of antique photographs. A blade, a girl and a fish. Whatever it means, you're invested.
Now that you're a surrealist, become a Techno-Mage:
I've recently been watching a recreation of a old .nsv IPTV channel called RantTV. Most of the stuff on there is like from 1999-2005. Very old, even before YouTube. Most of the content revolves around this man called Sean Kennedy. Very fun to watch him yell and rant comedically into the mic. Mostly talks about government control, coperations, how great hackers and internet pirates are for society, "our current culture/society", paranoid-esque shit, etc. (And it has a Bad Religion song at the end of one of the shows, which I love)
Can't help but see how the landscape has changed in 20 years. How newspapers and TV and entertainment used to be so centrally controlled and limited, but now it has become so decentralized, you can literally find anything on the internet. How bunk conspiracies theories are now so prevelant, that QAnon has worked its way into office. How anti-vax rhetoric is so prevelant now that the U.S. government used it as a psy-op against foreign nations.
Anyway, I can't help but think of RantTV when I read this quote. Hits real hard.
