“Pretentious” – a word now regularly used by people who feel threatened by a certain depth of perception. Rampant anti-intellectualism is one of the core signs of authoritarian state’s attempts to strengthen its grip on its general populace.

To add to the authoritarian state, now we also have another phenomenon hundreds of years in the making: authoritarian corporations. Added to the rampant anti-intellectualism, applied to both states and corporations, we also receive rampant anti-emotionalism.

Imagining a world without the fear narratives and constructing ways out of them and into the best imagined choice is a transgressive act.

We all have the power to choose our narrative every day.

I understand that this is hard in face of openly and covertly supported state&church (I mean state&corporation) methodologies of fear.

I understand that my privilege means my road might have been simpler than yours.

I am not here to compare myself. I am here to use my privilege for help, and kindness, and for illumination, and for changes.

So if you ever need help – contact me. I promise to do my best.
