[01:13.56]"We have to stop consuming our culture.
[01:17.23]We have to create culture.
[01:19.46]Don't watch TV, don't read magazines,
[01:23.68]don't even listen to NPR.
[01:26.34]Create your own roadshow.
[01:29.73]The nexus of space and time, where you are now,
[01:34.71]Is the most immediate sector of your universe.
[01:38.85]And if you're worrying about
[01:40.55]Michael Jackson or Bill Clinton or somebody else,
[01:44.21]you are disempowered.
[01:46.13]You are giving it all away to icons.
[01:49.39]Icons which are maintained by an electronic media,
[01:52.98]So that you want to dress like X or have lips like Y.
[01:57.47]This is shit-brained this kind of thinking.
[02:00.34]That is all cultural diversion.
[02:04.59]And what is real is you and your friends,
[02:08.53]And your associations, your highs,
[02:11.77]Your orgasms, your hopes,
[02:14.06]Your plans, and your fears.
[02:16.07]And we are told no.
[02:18.03]We're unimportant, we're peripheral,
[02:20.68]Get a degree, get a job,
[02:23.12]Get a this, get a that,
[02:24.76]And then you're a player.
[02:26.40]You don't even want to play in that game.
[02:28.63]You want to reclaim your mind
[02:32.02]And get it out of the hands of the cultural engineers
[02:35.83]Who want to turn you into
[02:37.16]A half-baked moron consuming all this trash
[02:41.77]That's being manufactured out of the bones of a dying world.
[02:45.60]Where is that at?"
