Calling Neo
For the last five months, during which I have been almost completely stationary, doing nothing but trying to consume and absorb information and contributing output only in the form of complaining, I have been dreaming about how I am going to do absolutely fuck all when I finish my exams: getting drunk, playing video games, organizing media files on my computer, watching movies etc. And I have been doing all of that. But this morning when I was adding to and sorting out my music library, it struck me (for about the millionth time) how much time is wasted on this shit, and how effective these kind of technologies are in getting in the way of imagining some way to apply all the weird and good stuff I’ve learned to try and change things that are fucked up and wrong and to make what I do more than a selfish act of passive consumption. I’m not in the matrix yet (I hope). It’s time to unleash the Keanu Reeves inside!
P.S. Is it weird to feel guilty for having optimistic and idealistic impulses?
