cronenberg-civilization

January 8, 2026

Civilization is repression. You don’t get civilization without repression of the unconscious, of the id. And the basic appeal of art is to the unconscious. Therefore, art is somewhat subversive of civilization. And yet at the same time it seems necessary for civilization. You don’t get civilization without art.

Thought:

“Cut the power, I’ll thrive in the dark
The survivors killers and cowards ’cause we ain’t got no heart
No hours, every day is a tally mark
We hid while they went in the Ark, two by two
When he was gone we danced under the moon”
