This one reminds me of my concept.




Jenny Holzer's List of Truisms: Here are the ones that stood out for me. I don't necessarily believe in all of them, but they're pretty striking >>>

>>>being judgmental is a sign of life

>>>deviants are sacrificed to increase group solidarity

>>>drama often obscures the real issues

>>>enjoy yourself because you can't change anything anyway

>>>emotional responses ar as valuable as intellectual responses

>>>fear is the greatest incapacitator

>>>going with the flow is soothing but risky

>>>if you aren't political your personal life should be exemplary

>>>it's better to be lonely than to be with inferior people

>>>knowledge should be advanced at all costs

>>>men are not monogamous by nature

>>>moderation kills the spirit

>>>myth can make reality more intelligible

>>>noise can be hostile

>>>people won't behave if they have nothing to lose

>>>re channeling destructive impulses is a sign of maturity

>>>romantic love was invented to manipulate women

>>>sometimes science advances faster than it should

>>>taking a strong stand publicizes the opposite position

>>>the idea of transcendence is used to obscure oppression

>>>there are too few immutable truths today

>>>timidity is laughable

>>>we must make sacrifices to maintain our quality of life
