I think I must be somewhere else, not here,
not in this city, this heartland of pure noise.

my mind empty
like the Buddhists tell you is possible
if only you don’t try.
If only I could
turn myself into a bird
like the shaman I was meant to be,
but I can’t,
I’m earthbound
and solitude is my companion,
the only one you can count on.
Don’t, don’t try to tell me otherwise.
I’ve had it all and lost it

Remember Dorothy and the Yellow Brick Road?
There’s no pot of gold at the end,
but we keep walking that road

I've discovered over the decades that humans are incredibly short-term oriented. And that they have an enormous predisposition to optimism. They're looking for optimistic news in everything. They're looking to avoid unpleasantness.
Penso que esses quatro autores desenham um arco muito interessante:
Arendt:
caminhamos porque cada ação pode inaugurar algo novo.
Bloch:
caminhamos porque o mundo ainda não está concluído e contém possibilidades latentes.
Fisher:
caminhamos mesmo quando nossa capacidade de imaginar
um futuro diferente foi profundamente reduzida.
Berlant:
caminhamos porque somos afetivamente presos a promessas que podem
nunca se cumprir — ou até nos prejudicar.

In the fields, the silos open their mouths
and let the grain dribble down their sides,
for they are overflowing.
