Disobey the Big Five, resist the Big Dumb, stop shopping, lay down, walk in nature, make art, read books

I'm working on a project that unravels gender, gender identity, and the home as the center of oppression for women for centuries.

I'm taking a fresh look at the organization of the home, specifically the kitchen, as the center of this debilitation.

I was at the Whitney last night and there was a very curious picture. It was called apron armor. I consider the apron the Iron mask for women, a source of debilitating disease of the mind. And detriment to progress.

There was also an installation at the Whitney of a beaded kitchen, I didn't take picture of it but it's telling, women artists have long been concerned with the home, and especially the kitchen. Very few though realized the oppressive nature of this dungeon.

In many family homes there are thousands and tens of thousands of dollars invested in kitchen appliances and zero invested in books and thoughts centered around progress, science technology, and the advance of civilization.

The book has been around for hundreds of years (people invented it for e reason, for a re-a-son) and never thought that in the 21st century the book has to fight with the debilitating influence of the food culture and entertainment companies, I call these the dumbing conglomerates.

One of the most terrible dumbing conglomerates is Hollywood, it perpetuates stereotypes and oppresses at every turn. You have to notice that in every Hollywood movie women and people of color beg and submit and are commanded by white men in power.

Women wash up things in kitchens and stir big pots while people of color work the land. That's all the the roles you see in most movies. If the woman is momentarily out of a kitchen she's invariably looking for a man, to invariably inhabit their kitchen.

I was skipping recently through a show about Queen Victoria, of course as you know I detest kings and queens stuff, I think that cutting the heads off of Queens and Kings was the best thing that happened to humankind. I really admire the French for that, it was a great idea.

So in that show the English parliament gets together to condemn slavery and while they welcome in their midst a representative a former slave from Virginia they didn't hesitate to command his submission by telling him not to speak to the royalty until spoken to. And the man responds yeah I've heard this before.

In addition to my gender concerns, I have material world concerns, The piling of goods in the home, this dreadful addiction to the material world.

The oppression of women and the oppression of material possessions are not very different. It's about disenfranchising and tribalizing humanity's free spirit by confining huge amounts of the populations to dungeons full of furniture that needs regular dusting.

I own several great books, among them is a series of books called The Material World. These books opened my mind to the human condition around the world.

Disobey, resist and read books.
