Jazz...all cultures are pretty much fucked up. It is a measure of the degree to which human beings are a dangerously self-destructive species.

For me it is axiomatic - based on a study of history and human behavior. Our only hope is to admit how seriously deranged we are. It's the only way we will ever get serious enough to repair ourselves. I think it's possible. But not the way we are going about it.

Take culture, for example. It's obviously a mirror into ourselves. We just seem to have a hard time admitting how fucking ugly, messed up, and sick we look in that mirror.

The only reason I can think of is that we just can't handle it.
We like to think we're somehow better than that.
That's no reason for me to enable the delusion.

edit to respond to Halx...

Yeah, I just don't believe it's necessary to be a slave to some sort of dialectical belief system, either. What's so hard about saying that some things are fucked up and choosing to change them?

That's all I'm saying. I don't see any reason to believe we can't somehow make choices while we go about evolving ourselves. That's what creative evolution is about, as far as I'm concerned.

I just think it's strange how timid we are about saying some things are just fucked up...period.
