Terence McKenna is not talking about the pretentious monetised art industry, he is talking about actual real art that comes from the chaos of the imagination that is our birthright. Art is the antithesis of the machinary that culture makes us. Art is the polar opposite of culture. Real art breaks down boundaries while culture erects boundaries and rules. Real art stirs emotion, while culture seeks to limit, rationalise and control emotion.

The inspiration that invokes great art on a blank piece of canvas is the same exact inspiration that makes a man want to walk on the moon, or write a symphony, or build an airplane. It is not culture that leads to these things. This is what Terence believed we must recapture, in what he called an 'archaic revival'.

Fight culture with ART?

And I suppose you don't need a GALLERY, this monument of culture, to put your pretentious shit in either?

Artist should just get money from all those pesky plebs directly and not through CULTURE TAX SCHEMES?

Everyone should just sit in the great outdoors finger painting and starving to death.
