Earth is a place where language has literally become alive. Language has infested matter; it is replicating and defining and building itself. And it is in us.

All information is everywhere. Information that is not here is nowhere.

Now, through the catalytic interaction with technology, the human species is getting set to redefine itself.

The imagination is the goal of history. I see culture as an effort to literally realize our collective dreams.

Culture is a perversion. It fetishizes objects, creates consumer mania, it preaches endless forms of false happiness, endless forms of false understanding in the form of squirrelly religions and silly cults. It invites people to diminish themselves and dehumanize themselves by behaving like machines.

What we need to change is our minds, that's the part that's doing us dirt and dragging us under. How can we change our minds.

Nature loves courage. You make the commitment and nature will respond to that commitment by removing impossible obstacles. Dream the impossible dream and the world will not grind you under, it will lift you up. This is the trick. This is what all these teachers and philosophers who really counted, who really touched the alchemical gold, this is what they understood. This is the shamanic dance in the waterfall. This is how magic is done. By hurling yourself into the abyss and discovering its a feather bed.
