the problem with pornography
the problem with pornography he said apart from everything
is that it destroys the capacity to fantasise, which is a very powerful form of imagination
a kind of deep magic that the authorities want to erode because it binds people together
when you have an erotic dream about someone you know and you make it into a fantasy
you are casting a spell and becoming more powerful together
and collective eros is the most powerful weapon we have against those who would seek to govern us
why do you think there is so much free pornography in the world?
who benefits when people walk around in shame
feeling cut off from others?
They want you to stay isolated, untouched, mediated by your indoor screen
Your imagination is holy he said
don’t let them take it away from you
Your desire is who you are
Your life is you and all your relations
Interference is a weapon
Their magic and ours
