in defense of adventure

"Adventure is just bad planning." - Roald Amundsen

"Adventurism: the heretical notion that you should actually have fun when doing something." - Rolling Thunder, vol 10

it is said
there should be no
adventure

no surprises
push for
consistency

no unknowns
value stability

see it
hear it
from mouths
i like having a routine

of course it looks
common
it looks
normal

to want
a nice & settled life
pasturized
occupied
as both in busy & oppressed

because
anyone who wants adventure
has been killed
jailed
outlawed
exiled

fig18a the words of the prophets are written on the subway walls/ and tenement halls

our society
wants to sell
sensation of adventure
to stimulate
the innate human need
without letting it
get out of hand

catharsis

enabling you to stir
orgasm relax &
work again

art
which may have once served
a purpose altogether different
is now media
& masturbation
of the adventure instinct

we did not get here
by staying
at home

explore.

d r o p the bass

dubstep

micromilitarization
of music

remix as combat
combat as remix

precisely why
some prettiest
get absorbed

for the tension

sophisticated layers
sound effects

im not one for violence
irl

but in my music
yes
yes please

when its done right
its as if your synapses
are each an instrument
when its masterful
its as if your brain cells
are having an orgy

totally alone in this one
but still

only a moral interpretation of phenomena -

advice animals
you know

theyre only aphorisms
collectivized & anonymized

the characters -
well

every profound spirit needs a mask
he would be nonplussed
im sure

must we be mediated throughout

do good
for the sake of it
& others will join you

if they can still recognize good
at all

funda
mentally we need
a change of
social
     structure

turning reputation
into credit
& hedging our friendships
our current course
wrong as usual

fig17a many players would kill for a chance to monetize your social capital

Why waste your time on outcasts or low-status losers who can’t improve your reputation?
shit
im in trouble now

then theres those organizers
who say we are not activists
we are friends
act like friends

share
things & intimacy
it means vulnerability
to people
surprisingly
like you

it means no
management
trust
mutuality
reciprocity
not for profit
out of respect
love

so god at the risk
of sounding like a hallmark
card

lets get our heads
out of our asses
& into our hearts

hey
you think hallmark would buy that one
kidding
only kidding

meditation on mortgages

we have an obligation

not to hand our agency over

not to rob another
of their agency

& to instigate
a little joy

while alive

mort dead
gage pledge

in
deed
