A trip to the future.

 (Kronk - 1970 novel. Author: Edmund Copper)

Obviously there is not enough risk taking in popular culture, we are too bound up in the illusionary and encapsulated idealism of that '15 minutes of fame', underwritten by our Roman Empire style governmental system which is the fallacy of exponential growth (economic) and widespread 'wealth' mixed with nothing could go wrong sentiment.  Of course that's the dream which looks like it going to end very badly.  But it's the stress of reality, the conflict of ideas, the eternal battle of history and our future clashing within our thoughts and the fragile systems of control under pressure - is what leads to individual creativity. 

If we are looking back into past for ideas, which has been the norm since reality television embedded it's self into the tedium,  it appears there is a slight transfix on the psychedelic, which is cool.  There has been some internet discussions on psychedelic drugs, namely L.S.D and DMT, a re-visit to some of the 'researchers' that took the drugs and a revamping of 1960 and 1970 nostalgia of freeing up the mind.  What I am feeling from the current interest in psychedelic rebellion, it's definitely looking towards what we can achieve within our present time of the internet, social media and creative expression; and that's a positive.
