We need a bit more of this kind of thing: "The Western World has been brainwashed by Aristotle for the last 2,500 years. The unconscious, not quite articulate, belief of most Occidentals is that there is one map which adequately represents reality. By sheer good luck, every Occidental thinks he or she has the map that fits. Guerrilla ontology, to me, involves shaking up that certainty." Agreed.

Fluxus is a lot more interesting (to me) than the Beatles. It's fun to say that "Yoko broke up the Beatles", but I think it was the other way around. So would I.
