Questionnaire
Your name:
How do you determine age:
a) with some reference to how long you have been alive,
b) with reference to what you have done,
c) with reference to what you will do,
d) age has no meaning to you.
You live where you live because:
a) it is where you where born and raised,
b) it is where your source of economic support determines that you need to live,
c) you are interested and stimulated by your environment and those around you,
d) it is a place where your social, political and moral values are most in line with accepted norms.
You would define your sexuality accordingly:
a) something natural/ given by god,
b) something constructed by social/ economical/ cultural conditions,
c) something that has always been under attack by the conservative forces of self-proclaimed leaders.
While listening to music I partake in the following ritual:
a) I dance and sing along,
b) I use it as a background setting,
c) I lay down on the floor trying to analyse it,
d) I don't listen to music.
Searching for salvation, you seek:
a) Abolition of hierarchies,
b) personal freedom,
c) liberation by divine forces,
d) you are pleased with your situation.
In a time where every decision is made by experts and bosses and leaders and rockstars and where we, from day one, were taught not to question, not to ask, end up knowing what we need to know and not what we ought to know. In the demain of leader mentality we get taught that there is always someone who knows better, looks better and creates better than we do, making sure that we will always followers, that we will always be sheep. If we never ask why there will never be any sort of change at all cause imbedded in our culture is a sort of vis-a-vis understanding that ignoranec is bliss. But the fact that we remain ignorant is also the same trajectory that allows production and consumption to be the almighty gods of modern culture. There is a need to ask ourselves why in every possible way, to analyse the power structures and cultural settings of our lives, to take apart the machinery of capitalism into the smallest parts, to come to a conclusion abot why we look the way we look and why we listen to the music we listen to. The truth is not out there and therefore we have to question everything so that we can create and learn and live.
I wanna know about you...
