Community Quote by VD

““The culture of the future will be one that will not involve the aristocracy, peasants, merchants or ownership of land, for these will be of minimal value once all leisure has been met. Instead hierarchy will be ordered according to the preservation and enactment of the same primal virtues and principles that have been humanity's calling for the ages. A society of strong individualistic archetypes, separate but whole, individuals who will tilt their heads before truth, be present to only beauty, and cooperate with love.””

The social [media channel] isn't about beauty contests and popularity contests. They're a distortion, a caricature of the real thing. It's about trust, connection, and community. That's what there's too little of in today's mediascape, despite all the hoopla surrounding social tools. The promise of the Internet wasn't merely to inflate relationships, without adding depth, resonance, and meaning. It was…

I think that most of us, anyway, read these stories that we know are not "true" because we're hungry for another kind of truth: the mythic truth about human nature in general, the particular truth about those life-communities that define our own identity, and the most specific truth of all: our own self-story. Fiction, because it is not about someone…
