ecce sub-homo

1 why artists talk nonsense

2 why i am a provocation

to the truthless, and to the living dead i am a provocation, i am a marked man. they point me out and whisper "hiv positive" or "child molester". but i have the mildest of temperaments, my pride is nothing but the fakery of the sub-human heart. all vanity is vanity, but it is the vanity of the truthless heart that i shall root out on a skewer. black and foetid and rank, though it clothes itself in mundanity , it rots the heart from its heart. also vain science, constructed of interlocking facts, the route maps of information tourism. to the true sub-human, information is not knowledge, nor is knowledge wisdom. knowledge is made of information and wisdom is made of knowledge. i, the sub-human, have turned off the information superhighway to the 'b-roads' of knowledge and seek the unmarked tracks of wisdom. i am a traitor to the truthless for i am the truthless. by my truthlessness so dichotomous truth shall be defined as if it were a tribe of scary foreigners. truthlessness is my birthright and a bar-coded heart my token of belonging.

no matter who we blame, and we must all blame and also prejudice, it is always we whom we protect from shame.
