Dumb America Pt. 4: President Trump

Dumb Starbucks

Dumb CBGB's

Dumb America

"That airport CBGB's...it's clearly a Nathan For You type think piece.  I think it's fantastic.  A commentary on cultural appropriation in the smartphone age.  Hilariously subversive don't you think?  You can really see the dividing line in this country between those that get it and those that don't."

Donald Trump,  Hilton Head, SC 12/30/2015

Dumb America Pt. 3: Synchronisieren Titten

"Bless Madison Ave zur Wiederherstellung der magischen Kunst der Höhlenmenschen zu suburbia"

"Mit Informationsflut konfrontiert , haben wir keine andere Wahl, als die Mustererkennung"

"Sentimentalität , wie Pornographie, ist fragmentiert Emotion ; eine natürliche Folge einer hohen visuellen Gradienten in jeder Kultur"

Marshall McLuhan

Er saß eine kleine Weile, obwohl "kleine Weile" nichts mehr bedeutete. Dann fand nach und nach die Transformation statt. Er sah außerhalb von sich das Muster, den Abdruck seines eigenen Gehirns; er befand sich in einer Welt, die aus seinem Gehirn bestand, in der lebendige Informationen hin und her transportiert wurden wie kleine Flüsse aus leuchtendem Rot, die lebendig waren. Er konnte daher die Hand ausstrecken und seine eigenen Gedanken berühren. Der Raum war von ihrem Feuer erfüllt, und riesige Räume erstreckten sich, das Volumen seines eigenen Gehirns außerhalb von ihm.i

Dumb America Pt. 2: "Have You Ever Seen 2001....on Marshall McLuhan?"

"I blame Sirius!  I blame the Grateful Dead!"

                                                                                                                                        

"What is The Message?"

"Well, how we missed it no one knows, but Nicky Tomalin, a PhD in Linguistics from the University of Chicago, is working on deciphering it with a team of cryptologists at a research think tank called Cypher.  Dr. Tomalin is trying to decode a message received from outer space seventy years ago, we think."  

"Come on!  That’s a good set up, I’m interested."

"I'll be honest with you.  Driving around in my car, and I'm feeling relaxed because I enjoy driving.  But, uh, ok...I'm gonna cop to it.  I'm thinking like, 'Maybe a little weed would be nice'.

*

"When you’re a sober person yr like 'shit man, I shouldn’t be thinking about weed, where’s that coming from?  I better get to a secret society get together and get straight with my program'."

Stella Blue

"But I couldn't figure it out man, I was feeling' pretty good, yet I'm still thinking about smoking weed.

And then I put it together."

*

"I know why I wanted to smoke some weed.  I know what reawakened that urge in my mind and in my heart"

"I blame Sirius!  I blame the Grateful Dead!"

--  When you’re a typographic-man you're like "I shouldn’t be thinking hyperdimensionally, where’s that coming from?  I better get to a Book club and get linear with my sense-ratios."  --

Dumb America: Metamorphosis by Chiasmus

"Ask not what Marshall McLuhan can do for you..."

"I have read Finnegans Wake aloud at a time when takers of LSD said 

'that-is-just-like-L-S-D'.  

So I've begun to feel that LSD may just be

 the lazy man's form of Finnegans Wake."

Marshall McLuhan

"I have taken LSD at a time when readers of Finnegans Wake have said

 'that-is-just-like-Finnegans Wake'.  

So I've begun to feel that Finnegans Wake may just be 

the working man's form of LSD."

Watching The Detectives Part 5: The Hipster Awoke Before Dawn

The hipster subculture is one of affluent or middle class young Bohemians who reside in gentrifying neighborhoods, broadly associated with indie and alternative literature, a varied non-mainstream fashion sensibility (including vintage and thrift store-bought clothes), generally progressive political views, organic and artisanal foods, and alternative lifestyles.  The subculture typically consists of white millennials living in urban areas.  It has been described as a "mutating, trans-Atlantic melting pot of styles, tastes and behavior".
