In order to shape the future, you need to own the ability to imagine.

I perceive a coordinated effect (not necessarily a conscious effort) that suppresses our imaginative faculties.

News media, entertainment, tech plutocrats and vested interests collude to stop you from imagining alternate futures.

This isn't a conspiracy—it's an emergent effect, like flocking or swarming.

A big money stampede is trampling our ability to think for ourselves, recasting heroes, villains, and visions of the future as endless remixes of intellectual properties. "Dreaming" is reframed as "content".

The first step to freedom is to build your own imagination. Imagination is the seed of art.

Art is not "content".

Art is discontent.
