Man is a machine. All his actions, words, thoughts and feelings are the results of external influences. Out of himself a man cannot produce a single action or a single word. Everything he says, does, thinks or feels is the product of influences acting upon him from without. He is a machine and his every action is mechanical. He is not free and he has no will. He cannot be otherwise than he is. - George Gurdjieff, In Search of the Miraculous (recorded teachings, 1949)

Beauty is under attack. Ugliness is celebrated as authenticity. Fat is called healthy. Weakness is called strength. Perversion is called liberation. We are living through an inversion of all natural values, and most people are too comfortable to notice. - Mike Ma, Harassment Architecture (2019)
