fredo is right, and i will add that the goal of "efficiency" means that you don't have time in which to have new thoughts. the relentless drive for labor leaves no space and time for the thoughts that lead to new writing, new drawings, or new songs. same reason they keep your phone buzzing all day

Always great to get more coming out of Uranus about what's #1 and what's #2.

First they came for the millionaires, and I did not speak out because fuck yeah, elephants Then I did speak out and I was like, "Hey elephants, what about these billionaires," because fuck those billionaires
