Are you ready to lead the next cultural revolution?
September 26th 2008 02:50
We need nothing short of multiple revolutions of thinking to replace the slow sort of change that comes with generations of old-fashioned thought, wherein absolutism and phobias such as racial prejudices, homophobia, xenophobia and many others are made much more obsolete than they happen to be right at this moment in my world.
In the 1960s people decided to radically re-evaluate their worlds and make a dramatic break with the past - why can't we do that now? This is the kind of revolutionary thinking that should always be in practice, not something that comes around every half-millenium or something.
I have no need, no time, no tolerance for empiricism. It is, it must be, it is increasingly, on its way out - can you help expedite this process? Can you partake in The Postmodern Revolutions?
Some important first steps to establish a firm commitment to perpetual reinvention of thought: Vote for, and elect, Barack Obama over John McCain. Legalise same-sex marriage everywhere. Make the world one huge borderless society (no visas, no length of stay restrictions, the ability to be hired anywhere and everywhere as long as you are suitable for the job). Create a series of innovative, revolutionary disciplines (a few examples might be Innovation Studies, Postmodern Studies or Change Studies) in universities, and then change the high school educational system too. Make creativity and analysis a central component of your personal life.
What do you think - how would you navigate the next cultural revolution?
I beg you to spread the word, so that the idea of a cultural revolution is floating around in other people's minds. If enough of us unlock our own commitment to revolutionary activity, a force significant enough to be dubbed 'the cultural revolution' will be unleashed... so start doing what you love with revolution in mind, and revolutionise with love in mind.
