there are no gods
because we are the gods
because we are the only living beings
in the entire universe
that have learned to use innovation
to change things
faster than evolution allowed us.
once your basic needs are satisfied
you can achieve happiness
simply by changing your opinion
and the best way to change
your opinion is to read
and the best thing to read
to change your opinion
is a short honest poem
and the best short honest poems
for changing your opinion
could be mine,
but they are not.
we are made to innovate.
purpose of innovation is to
constantly change everything for everyone.
a single innovation is not a goal.
constant never ending innovation is the goal.
speed of innovation is important.
if innovation is fast we will not adapt.
if innovation is slow we will get stuck.
for many years i have been
writing a book in secret.
no one knows i wrote it.
i published it as a website
but i did not tell anyone where it is
and it is not linked from anywhere.
it is the most amazing book ever written.
when you read it you will change,
you will become something new.
it is up to you to find it.
if you can not find it,
just imagine that you read it,
that you experienced a deep change,
and that you felt truly liberated.
one day i will write a book
that will change literature.
i will reveal the end in the very start,
and the rest of it will be shit
but everyone will love it and hate it,
and it will be the most boring fun book ever.
i love my kids
so much
that i want to change
the whole world
for them
modernists believed
they are building
a better new eternity
but actually
they were used
as an excuse for change
for the sake of change
10,000 years ago
a different thinker had to convince
10 people
using 1 unit of energy
to make a change for all of us

100 years ago
a different thinker had to convince

today
a different thinker has to convince
100 million people
using 10 million units of energy
to make a change for all of us
being born perfect
with nothing to change
is an unfortunate disability
54 % of art is made by kids
36 % of art is made by retired people
17 % of art is made as a form of therapy
12 % of art is made as interior decoration
0.3 % of art is made as commercial promotion
0.1 % of art is made as asset allocation
0.03 % of art is made as tool for social change
one of the better ways
to make others wiser
is to make fun
of their wrong choices.
most will get very upset
but some will change.
do not expect a thank you.
i have reached
the ninth level of design –
the kamikaze level –
designing products
which can change the world
but do not change it
and instead change few people
who might design products
which change the world.
i can still reach
the tenth level of design,
the god level –
designing products
which change the world.
be careful not to waste your life
thinking you are changing things
while you are only satisfying
the need for change
with your useless nonsense
which prevents real change.
the key to real change
is very specific
and takes decades to discover
and only few can discover it.
be careful because there is nothing
more scary than a wasted life.
i came up with a poem
about how i am a peacemaker
because i can talk to enemies
and understand them
and compromise with them
and change me and them,
but an hour later i met an enemy
and got super upset like an idiot.
ideas are great
and
products change the world
the greatest error in every war
is that false reduction of human needs
to binary caricatures
preventing real listening
necessary for true human cooperation.
our true enemy is lack of understanding
of gradual damage caused by the silent change.
just like most of the isms
metamodernism is way to forgive ourselves
for the evils we did for the sake of change
i often think
about the death of david lynch
how it will happen soon
and how after it
the world will never be the same
and although i love change
i will not like this change
few times in my life
i made visual art
and it was fun and beautiful
but it was too slow and too much hard work.
i chose to write poetry
because it is fast and easy
and i can often change my mind
and go through hundreds of ideas.
but finally i have found
a way to make visual art
and not be bored by the hard work.
i hope it works out.
visual art is cool
and my kids might like it
more than my poetry.
and i will meet new people.
i care
about the quality of my poems
as much as i care
about the quality of my diarrhea
which does not mean
that my poems
can not change the world.
diarrhea!
a common way to trap people
is to build a cage within a cage
so when they break out of the first cage
they will think they are free
while in fact they are still in the second cage.
actually you can build
thousands of cages inside each other
and most of the people will think they are free
after they break out from the first cage
and will not try to break out of the second one.
poetry
is an exploration of
how words change
the universe.
i can write a word
which is read by many
giving them an idea
which choices to make.
these choices
eventually add up
enough to start changing
the universe.
michelangelo on freedom
vanessa on equality
marina on listening
lars on horror of existence
delphine on honesty
kanye on death
miltos on change
rafael on beauty
ryder on freedom now
hans on humanity
freedom to live forever
freedom to not be a citizen
freedom to belong to no nation
freedom to be a philosopher without knowing anything about philosophy
freedom to be important
freedom to have talent without talent
freedom to be accepted
freedom to be completely change everything about yourself every day
freedom to be the biggest asshole
freedom to be stupid and still be treated as smart
freedom to be valuable somehow
every person
has a number of political choices
and in a political duopoly
two parties will divide
all these choices
between them
creating
two highly hateful groups.
this kind of bullshit
will keep on going
with every new choice
for thousands of years
because these two parties
will never allow
any change.
any system
which tries to guarantee quality
quickly becomes a form of
oppressive exclusion.
only way to be avoid this
and be truly free
is to accelerate the rate
of constant change.
few years ago
i had an amazing idea
for an artwork
which would connect people
in a new way
never seen before
and would change
everything in art
but i was super lazy
to even write an email
about it.
i hope
kanye west dies before me
because
his music is
the most perfect representation
of how a person changes through life
and i want to see the whole thing
you can be liberated
only if you change your mind
at least a hundred thousand times.
changing your mind
less than that many times
is not really liberating.
i still get these amazing ideas
for poems which should change the world.
i get them while i am
driving or showering.
and i think:
this one i will write down
and share online
and the world will love me
and everything will change.
by everything i really think everything.
like, we will not drive but fly.
and internet will be in our minds.
that sort of change.
and then i forget the poem.
and it is the same stupid problem
i had ten years ago
when i started writing poetry.
the worst thing about it is
i do not care so much that i forget.
i do not care that i did not
change the whole world
and made everybody love me.
and even worst worst worst thing is
that i do not care that i do not care.
one day i will
expose the truth
and the whole world
will just crumble down
it will be so
super super cool
