I've always understood heterotopias as Other not because they are unsettled, though I guess technically that's true, but as places where associations are rewired in a way alien to The Town.
The heroes journey = doing loads of psychedelic drugs.
exactly what The Holy Mountain is about tooPaglia thinks the failures of her generation were caused by taking too much acid. Dropping it. Investing in holy grail quests for personal spiritual actualization and losing their grasp of the real.

no need to ban it just realise that it's obsolete same as the mainstreamI think we should probably just taboo the word "counterculture"; it implies a mainstream, and we don't really have that anymore.

Thats a good example, if not also hilariously self satirizing. But I think there's a material element to heterotopias. Architectural in the Bourdieu sense. Start ups are just looking for a slice of the pie, while a heterotopia is pointed in an entirely different direction and thats reflected in the physical make up of the space. Why the bar is labeled 'unfriendly' or 'rough' but tolerated, and the start up is domesticated.Yeah it's hard to say. I think about a lot of the safe space/hostile work environment discourse this way. A startup is a heterotopia of sorts: it's like 4-8 boys in their twenties who often live/eat/shit together, coming up with their own culture. It's "frontier" culture—anything's up for challenge, you can't play by the usual rules, you're trying to build something new, whatever. And a lot of its productive potency comes from this frontier character. Once the larger culture gets a whiff of these spaces tho, they get labeled "toxic" and need "domesticating"—pretty soon there are mental health dogs in the office, HR resources go from 0 to 20% of the budget, etc
if this isn't sarcastic, yah.no shit, really?

not that it's an invalid reading, but you could just as easily say it's about journeys of self actualization helping you discover "the real"
I don't think so.exactly what The Holy Mountain is about too
I don't know if he ever said that, but I took it as much. And self actualization and 'the real' in the context of the movie are the same thing I think. Self actualization and finding the real being the universal message behind the specific message I'm describing, a kind of, watch out for shallow, fake, opportunistic spiritual, hippie shit on that journey to self actualization. When the film breaks the fourth wall at the end I think that's the message- all this is well and fun but dont forget about reality.is there somewhere where Jodorowksy wrote or said that
