Nice blog post, copied below, that sums up where change comes from. I
still get academic intellectuals, my former profession, asking why I
have degraded to the gutter of the emotional rhetoric of the
regular folk. Cuz that's where the pain is, and where change happens, not
in ivory towers.
"The revolution, the evolution is not going to be found in conference
centers or seminars in 5 star hotels. It won’t be definable in
righteousness or sanctimony.
The resonances will be and are where the pain has been–where there was no choice but to become unbreakable.
Where the scars are generations deep and sculpt into raw, sassy, funny, sexy, harsh, confusing.
Laser sharp intelligent literacy of metaphors; the messages wont be
sterilized in direct instructional language. The (r)evolution is not a
Lego set to assemble, it is alive.
The alchemy of change changes as it changes.
The logic of the current systems is not so useful for the task. It
leads back to the academy, city hall and the bank. Those are not the
places were unbreakable is made.
Look elsewhere."
