Waking Life All Theory No Action The Society of the Spectacle
[00:10.50] If the world that we are forced to accept is false and nothing is true, then everything is possible.
[00:16.61] On the way to discovering what we love, we will find everything we hate, everything that blocks our path of what we desire.
[00:21.65] The comfort will never be comfortable for those who seek what is not on the market.
[00:24.31] A systematic questioning of the idea of happiness.
[00:27.50] We'll cut the vocal chords of every empowered speaker. We'll yank the social symbols through the looking glass We'll devalue society's currency.
[00:33.87] To confront the familiar.
[00:35.47] Society is a fraud so complete and venal that it demands to be destroyed beyond the power of memory to recall its existence.
[00:42.64] Where there is fire, we will carry gasoline.
[00:45.03] To interrupt the continuum of everyday experience and all the normal expectations that go with it.
[00:49.55] To live as if something actually depended on one's actions.
[00:52.47] To rupture the spell of the ideology of the commodified consumer society so that our repressed desires of a more authentic nature can come forward.
[00:59.64] To demonstrate the contrast between what life presently is and what it could be.
[01:03.36] To immerse ourselves in the oblivion of actions and know we're making it happen.
[01:06.81] There will be an intensity never before known in everyday life to exchange love and hate, life and death, terror and redemption, repulsions and attractions.
[01:13.72] An affirmation of freedom so reckless and unqualified, that it amounts to a total denial of every kind of restraint and limitation.
[01:31.78] ***
[01:33.37] (The same four guys see an old man up on a telephone pole.)
[01:33.63] Hey, old man, what you doin' up there?
[01:34.70] Well, I'm not sure.
[01:35.77] You need any help getting down, sir?
[01:38.95] No, don't think so.
[01:42.40] Stupid bastard.
[01:44.80] No worse than us. He's all action and no theory. We're all theory and no action.
