Once upon our time, in the consumer kingdom of Quickfix, there was a sinister ruler called Inadequacy.
Equipped with all the power of psychological control that mastery of modern technology offers, Inadequacy slowly infiltrated the minds of the people and they forgot how magical they were on their own. . .so they went shopping.
They filled the emptiness that Inadequacy had carved out in their souls with everything they were convinced would work. Inadequacy’s drones were really good at taking things from the Earth and sucking out the magic by processing, packaging. . .until everyone became very sleepy and forgot about all the cool stuff that they were made out of.
Until the good ruler Imagination, who had been put to sleep by Inadequacy with a mysterious potion called Greed, suddenly awoke.
This awakening was very special because it didn’t happen on top of a mou ntain in a castle, it happened inside the people!
Won by One, the people became excited about the colours and shapes that had been building up inside of them all along. They got even more excited when they found out that they never ran out. . .in fact, the more they used, the more there was!

"Hippy is an establishment label for a profound, invisible, underground, evolutionary process. For every visible hippy, barefoot, beflowered, beaded, there are a thousand invisible members of the turned-on underground. Persons whose lives are tuned in to their inner vision, who are dropping out of the TV comedy of American Life."
Timothy Leary (The Politics of Ecstasy)
