Grant Morrison on Corporate Entities

To some, Morrison can either be hit or miss with comics, but the man has a method to his madness for sure:

Corporate entities are worth studying. They and other ghosts like them rule our world. So...figure out why the Coca-Cola spirit is stronger than the Dr. Pepper spirit (what great complex of ideas, longings and deficiencies has the Coke logo succeeded in condensing into two words, two colours, taking Orwell's 1984 concept of Newspeak to its logical conclusion?). Watch their habits, track their movements over time, monitor their repeated behaviors and watch how they react to change and novelty. Learn how to imitate them, steal their successful strategies and use them as your own. Create your own brand, your own logo and see how quickly you can make it spread.

Build your own god and set it loose.

F for Freedom, V for Valerie, V for Vendetta

Why is it that we must wait until we face death to actually consider living free, living fearless? Is it because as a society individuals are not taught to be free because it doesn't benefit capitalist ideals to breed mavericks? Is it because of religion, fear, family? At the end of the day it doesn't matter what it is that the chains are made of, only that you recognize them and destroy them no matter what the cost. I encourage you all to live with freedom, don't be bound by anything like so many are. Rise above commonality, control your fate, become the undeniable pillar that people are forced to look to because you withstand all. Don't be held down by bullshit jobs, relationshits, titles, bullshit political systems, fear, be free. It is the road less traveled and lonely but in my opinion, it's the only road worth traversing.
