Had never seen this 1984 FZ interview. He’s pretty hostile, prob because MTV, possibly also because interviewer is a woman. Gets looser halfway through.

My biggest conspiracy theory is that telling working class people that engagement in the arts is a middle / upper class thing and to do so makes you a class traitor is a psyop to make them disengaged with themselves and the world and the beauty of being human, so that they accept worse treatment.

A portable arcade machine in the shape of a foldable metal 'briefcase' design with an integrated 14-inch IPS high-definition screen. Pre-loaded with tons of retro emulation games, it's controlled by an arcade-style 8-way joystick. (Probably not the latest thing but it looks interesting 😬)

We call ourselves "intelligent," yet the humblest fungus can decompose waste and build soil, a tree can harness solar energy, and a wetland can purify water—all without toxic byproducts. True intelligence is learning from these systems, not bulldozing them.
