NINJAS BIBLE
i love this book more than anything...
busy reading it for the 5th time
i think i read it for the 1st time around 10 years ago...
i noticed during this 5th read (and was kind of amazed) at how much this book has pretty much 'sculpted' my current head space...
and that Die Antwoord blew up cos of what we learned from THE FOUNTAINHEAD...
there are SOOO many strange parrallells between Die Antwoords adventures over the last 6 years, and this story, which was first published in 1936!
the underlying principle of this juicy ass book is that there are 2 types of people in the world:
-parasites or creators
its easy to get ahead in life kinda quickly being a parasite...
but very difficult to get ahead in life being a truly original creator...
parasites eventually fall off and fade away because they feed off others like a tick...
while creators are rooted in the inexhaustible mystery of their inner being
there are obviously more parasites than creators in the world, and so parasites often get together and freak out when a super creator rizes to power
some parasites might even become maniacally obsessed with one super creator in particular and make it their lifes mission to 'bring down' this unstoppable force
the obsessive compulsive parasite will think of the super creator ALL the time
while the super creator might never even register the poor parasites existence
its pretty amazing stuff
i think the bottom line is:
humans dont really have any functional need for art, like they need food, clothing and shelter...
...but our souls need art to recognize themselves
