I was thinking... last night about knowledge. Why its pursued so relentlessly, Why many people are offended by it. Why it seems to depress those who have such vast amounts of it.
Then i realised...Knowledge is poison. Not in the sense that it will hurt you in anyway...but it's not pure. And to me the opposite of purity is poison. (Kinda where the whole Anthrax thing came from) There i said it.
I'm gonna read you a little extract from one of my trillion notebooks/post its/blank pages.
"If all knowledge has a a source, And all men(and women) are inevitably biased. Then all sources are biased. The only knowledge that is truely pure is knowledge of self...But who we are is shaped by our surroundings. **** just doxed myself. Anyway... And our surroundings are in no way representative of us. - "We are products of our environment".
Oh and i watched "The Matrix" this afternoon. And i got thinking about truth too and how people aren't neccesarily afraid of it, But distracted FROM it...And i stumbled across a deep line by one of my favourite british MC's "Klashnekoff".
" Leave you stiff , The world stands uncontaminated with biological hatred. It's Blatant, Morpheus tried to show you in "The Matrix. But were you watching the beanie or clocking for the agents?. - It's from the Track "parrowdice" by Terra Firma. - http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=_bamCODwU2g
Speaking of Klashnekoff...
This track is called Murda... - http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=lDGJd1LwQ64 and its ****ing fire. It's a few years old though..I don't think i had facial hair when it was released.
"Infiltrate your border like ITN reporters then return with the slaughter - Captured on Camcorder. I'm trapped in a damn corner. Chattin to Pandora about boxing her man for her"
Thanks for reading.

Did you know Channel 4 was actually Thatcher's idea? She could see how restless the people were and was scared Britain was pretty much going to explode, so she figured us proles needed a distraction. That distraction came in the form of a TV station that let people feel like they had a voice, but kept them sitting on their couches glued to the screen instead of taking to the streets and protesting. And it worked. We may have "learned" about the evils of Thatcherism from watching channel 4, but watching channel 4 was the very thing that kept us from doing anything about it.
ReplyDeleteSorry, went off on a rant there. Point is, I get what you're saying, and you do make a very good point.
