- This is the science
  in nihilism, it's an understanding that
  complexity is just the interaction of multiple
  simplicities.
- Just showing a
  thing as it is and even calling it what it is has
  significant impact within the context of our
  American(ized) culture where every product and
  idea must be obfuscated by the smokescreen of
  'spin' and propaganda;

- - The effort to
    symbolically impose rational order to the seeming
    disorder
  - Roots lead to the superstructure
  - The populace is
    trained by TV and pop-culture to remain
    unfocused, incapable of the coherent thought so
    threatening to authority, for any length of time,
    or figuring anything out besides which button
    changes the volume and which the channel.
  - So a symbol is only
    as meaningful as the entity for which it
    represents; a voodoo doll is just a bag of rags
    without the culture and the religion to turn it
    into something more.
