Crimp It Together
Alcohol and rock bands and holiday celebrations...what they all seem to have in common is a sort of artificial crimping together of those loose threads of belonging and ecstacy, across lines of biochemistry, culture, and tradition. We've discovered the power to evoke the feeling of harmony and belonging with the will and the intention to do so, at the cost of accelerating dissolution and discord over time as these projects mature, both on the personal and social level. And so the result is that these artificial crimpings need to be repeated again and again at an accelerating pace, until there is no longer the energy available to sustain the repetitions.
