The Highest Primate

The languid pace of a routine that exists in order to deaden the potentially disquieting awareness that nothing is being achieved.
Activists projected a message for the Supreme Court on its facade. They arrived hastily in a car, projected the image, took photos, and then scattered as police came towards them.

There Will Be Blood

There Will Be Blood

We live together, we act on, and react to, one another; but always and in all circumstances we are by ourselves. The martyrs go hand in hand into the arena; they are crucified alone. Embraced, the lovers desperately try to fuse their insulated ecstasies into a single self-transcendence; in vain. By its very nature every embodied spirit is doomed to suffer and enjoy in solitude. Sensations, feelings, insights, fancies — all these are private and, except through symbols and at second hand, incommunicable. We can pool information about experiences, but never the experiences themselves. From family to nation, every human group is a society of island universes.

—Aldous Huxley

When we understand that man is the only animal who must create meaning, who must open a wedge into neutral nature, we already understand the essence of love. Love is the problem of an animal who must find life, create a dialogue with nature in order to experience his own being.

—Ernest Becker
