Cognitive Dissidents | Part 2 of ISOLATION: Or, The Art of Being Imperially Alone
"America is a pathetic place where something stupefying must always happen for fear we wake up" William Carlos Williams
Novelist Derek Swannson's exploration of isolation from mainstream
society as a remedy to America's increasingly unaffordable suburban
lifestyle in a world gone mad with consumerism and grift.
"What do you do when corporate America and its entire MKULTRA culture
seems to be aligned against you? Well, if you’re like me, you opt for
isolation—or 'silence, exile, and cunning,' as James Joyce put it. You
find out what it’s like to live a simple life, all alone."
Written, narrated, and (for the most part) filmed and recorded by Derek
Swannson. His books can be found—ironically enough—at: https://www.amazon.com/Derek-Swannson...
"You are in prison. If you wish to get out of prison, the first thing you must do is realize that you are in prison. If you think you are free, you CAN'T escape" G.I. Gurdjieff
If you've ever wanted to memorize a poem, I highly recommend the brilliant (and very short) "The Red Wheelbarrow" by William Carlos Williams.
