"It often starts as a small irritation, a barely noticeable glitch. Something just feels off. At first, it doesn’t seem to be an insurmountable problem, only a slight hiccup, easy to redress. But before long the solution creates its own intractable problem, slowly taking everything with it. The problem becomes systematic. The system is the problem....."

The Way Out is Back - John Zerzan

"Unless the future is somehow primitive, we will have no future. The global environmental disaster is arriving; the life-world of our species, not to mention so many other species, is being savaged. And even more is at stake. The overall crisis also brings an overwhelming psychic and spiritual impoverishment. A magnitude of emptiness that in the U.S. is reflected in proliferating mass shootings and a deepening opioid epidemic. So much is being lost in an ever more technological world. There is less and less connection, despite the claims of the tech corporations. There is more and more technology—and less and less community and empowerment. In fact, community is gone, the victim of mass society. When we can no longer effectively be responsible or accountable in society, there is no community."

Making Sense of the World - Steven Humblet

Of the objects, people and places that are visible in the image, it captures nothing more than their outer appearance. A photograph is (necessarily) a superficial image. Only through thoughtfully organizing the relationships between the different parts, the image becomes infused with meaning..."
