The universe is almost what we would have to call an art making machine, an engine for the production of ever more novel forms of connectedness, ever more exotic juxtapositions of disparate elements.

The shaman is the figure at the beginning of human history that unites the doctor, the scientist and the artist into a single notion of care-giving and creativity.

...notion of the artist as mystical journeyer. As one who goes into a world unseen by others and then returns to tell them of it.

The nightmare of every goverment on earth is a million people assembled in the town aquare of your capital city, demandtng that you pack up to Switzerland. Nobody can say No to a million people on the streets.
