down with it

What a wonderful coincidence, to find tucked behind a bookshelf a dusty pocket notebook with this outrageous quote I jotted down ages ago.

I could hardly think of more suitable words to translate my current state of mind - and what passes for life in this land of the setting sun:


Down with a world in which the guarantee that we will not die of starvation has been purchased with the guarantee that we will die of boredom.

--Situationist graffiti

Paris, 1968.

 There you are.
