Beautiful and lovely and we forget, because it's pervasive like smog, that we are drowning in capital. How capital is a lens that defines our value, our morals, our way of being--how have you been productive today? What is your worth? What are you "spending" your time? All of these questions flow through capital. It has its own logic, it regiments and controls lives. Art lives outside that; humans need to keep their heart outside of it because life and space are fluid, constantly moving and the beating heart of life is this.
Speaking of success: I recently joined Linkedin, my first social media account, where success is measured in dollars and followers. The word success is mentioned so often that I wonder if anybody remembers its meaning. Perhaps it’s always been measured by superficialities. I've been a recluse for so long. The other thing I learned since joining Linkedin is that too many people claim to be writers who can't write. Writing content and literature are far different. Success isn't the only word that has lost meaning. Still, if you claim to be a writer, you should know how to use a comma and that platitudes are banal.
