Culture Wars
The difference between high culture and pop culture is that high culture is rooted in a lively and curious interest in reality as it is while pop culture is driven by a desperate need to escape that reality.

Do You Know The Way?
Instead of inquiring what is intelligence, let us discover for ourselves what are the hindrances placed upon the mind which prevent the full awakening of intelligence. If I were to give an explanation of what is intelligence, and you agreed with my explanation, your mind would make of it a well-defined system, and through fear would twist itself to fit into that system. But if each one can discover for himself the many impediments placed on the mind, then, through awareness, not through self-analysis, the mind will begin to liberate itself, thus awakening true intelligence which is life itself. —J. Krishnamurti
