What Comes After Postmodern

PLEASE NOTE:  This image was posted on a computer screen, where it appears sideways.  And it sometimes--but not always--appears upright on a cell phone screen.   Go figure, I guess   So, take this all as you will...

I tried like the Dickens to get this image to appear upright, but apparently this is going to be as good as it gets.

So, I will accept the reality of this situation, proceed accordingly, and move along...

Please understand that NEOPRIMITIVISTS, above all else, are practical people.

A neopriimitive thinking person is not a perfectionist in the way they approach the world, but does hold high standards for how things could actually be.

And is willing to work hard to help create a world that more closely resembles what we know, in our hearts and our minds, it should look like--given all the resources still at our "disposal". 

A good neoprimitivist may even be called idealistic by those who don't understand this way of thinking.

But neoprimitivists think differently, and so they can imagine and perceive possibilities where others cannot.

Neoprimitivists use their time wisely, as they are busy people--either busy doing something, or busy doing "nothing."  This is equally important and also takes--and in a sense even creates--time.

So please realize that we really don't have the time--or resources as we are practical people--to waste, especially at this critical juncture.

Also, that any good neoprimitivist certainly knows how to "make do" with what we've got to work with.

Neoprimitivists are resourceful and resilient people. 

We also find play to have practical value, and to be useful in all our work.

We are often dramatic but rarely exagggerate. And do not say flippant things casually. 

Call us "fools" if you will, but realize were are not ignorant, or sloppy.

And we do not flinch in the face of adversity, danger, or chaos.

We work every day to achieve self-awareness in our thoughts, feelings, and actions.

And to take everything, always, in context.

We do not let opportunities pass us by in using technology (appropriately), along with other means, to achieve our goals.

And if you are reading this, you are probably a neoprimitivist yourself--whether you know it yet or not.

NOTE the Survival of the Fattest album (below) is intended to be obnoxious and kinda offensive--as it is punk rock music from Southern California. And that if you are offended by it, you are missing the point.

The album cover and title is not to criticize any individual overweight person, but to point out that as an overall society we do need to stop consuming so much.

Also note that "Fat Wreck Chords" (the name of the label) ALSO suggests that whoever has the "Fattest" beats and the "Wreck-y-est Chords" will ultimately win out in the evolutionary race.

~ The 1st track  (and the last!) on this tongue-in-cheek album offers a tongue-in-cheek glance into our current state of affairs ~

This is a bootleg YouTube recording here, which is not that good, since these artists are not that famous and do need the $$

But note that I have purchased this album 4 times - and strongly encourage you to make a purchase yourself, as the whole album really rips !!
