This lecture was to be different. It
was to be a simple list, chaotic
and spontaneous. I just wanted to list what came
to my mind. Anything
related to proliferation, multiplication,
development, growth,
copying and pasting, appearing. And to various
strategies for living
and existing. As well as to propaganda,
advertising, education,
civilising, barbarising, acculturation,
dehumanisation and
humanisation, analysis and synthesis, commenting,
commending,
praising, criticizing… And so on.
When I began listing, which seemed to me quite funny and pleasant since I had no guidelines underpinned by any criteria or demands, so I could follow freely the path of anarchy and ecstasy, I realised such listing had no sense at all because stupidity is neither spread nor disseminated. Stupidity doesn’t need to be disseminated. Wisdom does. Wisdom should be spread around. Painstakingly. Permanently. Persistently. When it is neglected it wilts, withers, decays, and finally perishes, disappears entirely. Even on fertile soil. While stupidity will flourish and abound, grow, spread, develop. By itself. With no help. Even on the driest desert, on the most barren land. Stupidity is a sort of miraculous perpetum mobile. Stupidity is a kind of mysterious radiation having no source and penetrating all possible and impossible corners and nooks of the space. So, has it any sense to write about the methods of dissemination? Stupidity is like dark matter, like this gloomy, tenebrous energy that fulfils universe, which we know nothing about, save it exists, or rather we suspect it exists. The only difference (but is it really the only one?) consists in the fact we know stupidity has always been existing, ever. So what? We don’t know what this existence consists in? We know it is self-driven, it is self-born, self-developed, self-adored. It does everything by itself and for itself and with itself. Self-supported. Self-risen. Wish it were self-destructible. It was to be a funny lecture. And it’s so sad now. Self-sad. <<< |
