Reminds me of an article I wrote 5 years ago.A bit black and white I must admit, but touching essential points in the current struggle for freedom of expression and how to be able to resist the 21st century default burden on the niches left over to experience one's own life, not being commodified by our neo-elitist rulers hidden as politicians who serve the upper class sissies interested only in their carrierre and not ours
Favorite quote:My blood boils in my veins against the so-called fathers of the country, those men without feelings, without decency, who have lavished millions on the king’s brothers, dangerous enemies of the country… yet who have not returned one penny to the poor, to whom it all belongs… Form yourselves into an armed body, present yourselves at the National Assembly, and demand that you immediately be given some means of subsistence from the national wealth, which belongs much more rightly to you than to those blood-suckers of the state… you must, in your turn take whatever measure is required, for it is a hundred times better that the whole kingdom be upturned than that ten million men be reduced to death by hunger.”

The old myths of creation and creators – the hallowed labors and privil egedagencies of demiurges and prime movers, of Biblical world-makers andself-fashioning artist-geniuses – are back underway, producing e ffects,circulating appeals. Much as the Catholic Church dresses the oldcreationism in the new gowns of ‘intelligent design’, the Crea tive Industries sound the clarion call to the Cultural Entrepreneurs. In thehype of the ‘creative class’ and the high flights of the digitalbohemians, the renaissance of ‘the creatives’ is visibly enacted . Theessays collected in this book analyze this complex resurgence of creation myths and formulate a contemporary critique of creativity.
