On ignorance
Ignorance is irresponsible.
Labels: thought
I have no particular feeling that one should be subversive, or one should conform. Neither of those interests me. What interests me is... if I am inspired by something, I should then follow it and not be bothered by either view: whether it is reactionary, or passé, whether it's such an adventurous thing to do that people are going to be astounded because it is something new or because it is such a conformist thing to do that people are immediately going to say, yes, this fits into a particular niche and hence it is going to sell a thousand copies.
