The Imagine Nation

“Under the present system of mass education by classes too much stress is laid on teaching and too little on active learning. The child is not encouraged to discover things on his own account. He learns to rely on outside help, not on his own powers, thus losing intellectual independence and all capacity to judge for himself. The over-taught child is the father of the newspaper - reading, advertisement - believing, propaganda - swallowing, demagogue - led man – the man who makes modern democracy the farce it is.” – Aldous Huxley, Proper Studies (1927) Culture Industry is a term coined by Theodor Adorno (1903–69) and Max Horkheimer (1895–1973), who argued…

Magnesium Man

Let me tell you about a man I once knew Bit of a strange one He used to keep snails in his bedside table Everyone used to call him the magnesium man   The magnesium man shivered and buttoned his coat against the cold And he stepped outside.....outside He smiled as he looked up through the pale winter sunlight At all the meteor showers And taking that bag in his hand he turned the key in the door behind him And headed down the path into the road   If you're lucky you might see him Standing on the corner As he passes by your front window pane If you're lucky,…

The Devil and the Deep Blue Sea

The patient man sits silently On a bench by the ocean He's learning his lesson patiently The lesson of the sea   He said "I've seen The light at the end of the world And now my friend You must make your choice Between the devil and the deep blue sea"   There is a fire across the heavens At night when all is still It's just your imagination And only there can you be truly free   He said "I've seen The light at the end of the world And now my friend You must make your choice Between the devil and the deep blue sea"   With every footprint…

One Minute, or a Lifetime

...Whilst you were fast asleep last night And lost, within your dreams I got up from your bedside And I turned the nightlight out I had to step into the darkness   At last I feel this sadness Lifted from my shoulders At last the weight is gone It's lifted from my shoulders   I felt the voices speaking A man's life is short You will ask for nothing You will learn to heal All this fear at last is fading   At last I feel this sadness Lifted from my shoulders At last the weight is gone It's lifted from my shoulders   One minute Or a lifetime Is all…
