Notes from January 11
From an open google doc:
I’ve given up hope that anything is worthwhile ha. Yesterday I sat down with Rachel at various places — her bed, her “too preppy” couch (we found a cream throw to cover it), cowered below shelves of tapestries at “the tapestry store,” her kitchen table eating spaghetti by candle light with Jake, on a stoop to smoke a cigarette, a Spanish restaurant where I ate nothing — to talk about how much we hated everything. We hated media, the Internet, the commodification of experience through writing, Lena Dunham, memoirs written by women (the cost of them, the disincentivising of a life free of self-destruction and self-objectification), liberal feminism, gay men who exercise their male privilege. Later, I couldn’t explain why I took a book off her shelf (written by a mutual friend) and felt angry at the actions which forced this book into being. Namely, the author’s belief in the necessity of her words. I envied that, I guess. But I also found it shameful. It felt good to be hater. I didn’t care if I was being terrible or unreasonable.
Rion said that he hates the internet because there’s “too much negativity.” I think I hate the internet for different reasons. Oh well.

"When it comes to “revolution” as an idea/ideology/politic, two questions that spring to mind..."
When it comes to “revolution” as an idea/ideology/politic, two questions that spring to mind are:
1. Why the fuck not?
2. What the fuck else would you be doing in your spare time?
Those who call communism, socialism, anarchism and other “revolutionary” ideologies fatally idealistic or hopelessly romantic could perhaps consider the fatal idealism and hopeless romanticism of capitalism, “the republic,” democracy, plutocracy, and pretty much all human ideology, period. The “revolutionary” or “communist” or “socialist” or “anarchistic” ideas are all gestural cosmic splinters of a larger, extra-linguistic idea. Words are important and useful but u should take some time, maybe 30 minutes to an hour per day, to sit in silent meditation. U had a lot of sex last year, pick the sexual partner u liked best and go deep with them emotionally.
