davidfosterwallace hung himself because he GAF'd too much (maybe) jesus gave in because he knws of the efficacy of the heart over the mind (vis a vis: tragedy of commons/distended bellies) noburu wataya "salaam" i only ever quote a few tings (allusions are hard and dependent on the receiving party so you gotta choose between a bunch of medias that prolly say the same thing and then judge n relay the most culturally/temporally/socially/intellectually relevant one):
intimacy is the principal source of the sugars with which this life is sweetened. It is absolutely vital to the essential insanities. Without the essential (intimate) insanities, humor becomes inoffensive and therefore pap, poetry becomes exoteric and therefore prose, eroticism becomes mechanical and therefore pornography, behavior becomes predictable and therefore easy to control. As for magic, there's none at all because the aim of any social activist is power over others, whereas a magician seeks power over only himself: the power of higher consciousness, which, while universal, cosmic even, is manifest in the intimate. It would seem that a whole human being would have the capacity for both intimacy and social action, yet sad to say, every cause, no matter how worthy, eventually falls prey to the tyranny of the dull mind. In the movement, as in the bee house or the white ant's hill of clay, there is no place for idiosyncrasy, let alone mischief.
