i always wanted to have a gallery art show.
my kids would like it.

to have a show i need to be friends with curators.
for twenty five years i have been meeting curators
but they have always been strange to me.

one told me:
you are not young, you are not famous, do not send me anything.
another one told me:
there are only two artists that matter, and you are not one of them.
one booked a show with me,
cancelled it because of illness, and never called me back.

i do not know what the problem is,
but i just can not have fun with curators.
it is an impossible clique to enter.

accumulation of capital
is unavoidable and not a problem

centralization of power
is unavoidable and not a problem

lack of openness
is avoidable and the biggest problem

capitalists accepted socialism.
socialists accepted capitalism.

so it is time to stop pretending
these two are exclusive
and start using them as they are:

only two of thousands
of specific solutions
each needed to solve
a specific problem.

reject idiotic divisive simplifications.
accept empowering complexity.

problem
with a system
that feeds on crisis
is that eventually
it eats all crises
and dies

game of thrones started great
because martin solved the problem
tolkien failed to solve:
how to tell a story without
the idiotic binary good versus bad.

but the business people
took over and simplified the story into
the idiotic binary good versus bad
thinking they can make more money
and they bored us to death.

in part it is our fault
because we constantly forget
that our minds reject
the idiotic binary good vs bad
because it is a lie.

the truth is
that we never feel a single emotion
about anything.
for example, we admire, fear, and hate a tiger
at the same time.

no matter how much
business people want us to be
simple stupid buyers
the idiotic binary good vs bad
will always bore us to death.

all business people can do
is to monopolize human storytelling
and make all stories about
the idiotic binary good versus bad
so we are left without any other choice.

just when you get used to your parents
they die
