Shock & Awe
[a Mid-00s Musical inspired by Hideo Kojima's METAL GEAR SOLID V: THE PHANTOM PAIN]
A Jorin Lee Electronic Virtual Essay (yes really)

"Rock is a rejection of the existing rules, [a refusal to be judged by] the past, an act of terrorism to destroy systems built up by the those who came before. To build a new world...the existing [order] is destroyed & the old age is ended. Norms are broken, cities & nations destroyed. Parents, [ancestries], & the current [bloodline] are [even] killed. [Make no mistake.] To carry memes forward...to equip a generation to decide the future... [it is only done] through the massacre of the previous. The era of Rock [has] not yet ended. ...Now, wake up. Smash. Kill. Destroy it all."
- Hideo Kojima, 2011

"What does man actually know about himself? Man permits himself to be deceived in his dreams every night of his life. His moral sentiment does not even make an attempt to prevent this... Is he, indeed, ever able to perceive himself completely, as if laid out in a lighted display case? Does nature not conceal most things from him—even concerning his own body—in order to confine and lock him within a proud, deceptive consciousness, aloof from the coils of the bowels, the rapid flow of the blood stream, and the intricate quivering of the fibers! 'She threw away the key' (old saying). And woe to that fatal curiosity which might one day have the power to peer out and down through a crack in the chamber of consciousness...[thankfully] sustained in the indifference of his ignorance by that which is pitiless, greedy, insatiable, and murderous—as if hanging in dreams on the back of a tiger."
