Psychogeography

[soulman]

A mental disease has swept the planet: banalization. Everyone is hypnotized by production and conveniences; sewage systems, elevators, bathrooms, washing machines.

This state of affairs, arising out of a struggle against poverty, has overshot its ultimate goal; the liberation of humanity from material cares; and become an omnipresent obsessive image. Presented with the alternative of love or a garbage disposal unit, young people of all countries have chosen the garbage disposal unit. It has become essential to provoke a complete spiritual transformation by bringing to light forgotten desires and by creating entirely new ones. And by carrying out an intensive propaganda in favor of these desires.

There's a new translation of Chtcheglov's Formulary For A New Urbanism here for anyone interested in the use of space; architecture, town and city planning and alternative environments.

Why would anyone have to choose between love and garbage disposal? It doesn't sound like an either/or choice to me. Half the reason most of us keep men around, in the first place, is to take the garbage out.
