“We have never taken the self-management of culture seriously.”

Terrence McKenna

We live in a world where we have to hide to make love, while violence is practiced in broad daylight

- John Lennnon

“...when do I actually encounter the Other 'beyond the wall of language', in the real of his or her being? Not when I am able to describe her, not even when I learn her values, dreams, and so on, but only when I encounter the Other in her moment of jouissance: when I discern in her a tiny detail (a compulsive gesture, a facial expression, a tic) which signals the intensity of the real of jouissance. This encounter with the real is always traumatic; there is something at least minimally obscene about it; I cannot simply integrate it into my universe, there is always a gulf separating me from it.”

 ― Slavoj Žižek, The Plague of Fantasies

In order to understand today's world, we need cinema, literally. It's only in cinema that we get that crucial dimension which we are not ready to confront in our reality. If you are looking for what is in reality more real that reality itself, look into the cinematic fiction.

That's silly

I mean, whatever kills you kills you, and your death is authentic no matter how you die.
