akira the don - steal the culture lyrics
because i’m talking with the person who gave us the (?), gave us the blue church, jordan hall, and part of that is this idea which is a religion that’s not a religion and coming – trying to come up with a post religious faith
because here is the idea, this is probably in some ways my most radical idea
i wanna do what like augustine did as the roman empire is falling
he laid the foundation
he laid the cultural cognitive grammar for an entirely different culture and they stole the culture bottom_up
he laid the cultural cognitive grammar for an entirely different culture and they stole the culture bottom_up
[chorus]
i wanna help steal the culture – away
steal it away
steal it away
i wanna help steal the culture – away
steal it away
steal it away
and do everything i can
(and i can)
do everything i can
(and i can)
i wanna help steal the culture – away
steal it away
steal it away
from the imperial system
the imperial system at some point then clamped down again
but nevertheless, we shifted
we shifted out of antiquity
we shifted to a different world
so i want to try and do that
i want to try and create that systems of meaning, the religion that is not a religion, the ecologies of practices, the communities, the networks of communities
all of this, it’s already happening
we really empower it both in terms of its grammar
give it the best scientific tools for engineering the practices and the ecology of practices
i basically wanna steal the culture
[chorus]
i wanna help steal the culture – away
steal it away
steal it away
i wanna help steal the culture – away
steal it away
steal it away
and do everything i can
(and i can)
do everything i can
(and i can)
i wanna help steal the culture – away
steal it away
steal it away
from the people who have been abusing us for such a very long time
and i usually don’t speak politically ’cause i think the political framing is often a deep misrepresentation of the issue
at least the way in which political discourse has been sort of been ossified, sort of been ossified in ways make choice, no longer really relevant
and you know christianity stole the culture away from the elites, it’s time
now new elites form, they always will but the culture changed and it changed in an important way and that’s what i’m trying to do right now
that’s what i see myself doing with a lot of these other people
that’s what i’m trying to do right now
that’s what i see myself doing with a lot of these other people
[chorus]
i wanna help steal the culture – away
steal it away
steal it away
i wanna help steal the culture – away
steal it away
steal it away
and do everything i can
(and i can)
do everything i can
(and i can)
i wanna help steal the culture – away
steal it away
steal it away
[bridge]
steal it away, steal it away, steal it away
now
steal it away, steal it away, steal it away
hey
steal it away, steal it away, steal it away
now
steal it away, steal it away, steal it away
hey
steal it away, steal it away, steal it away
now
steal it away, steal it away, steal it away
hey
steal it away, steal it away, steal it away
now
steal it away, steal it away, steal it away
hey
and the whole point about the metaphor is we can’t, we can’t win by playing the game (their game)
that’s right
my way of trying to understand what it is to not play their game and to shift over to, into a totally different game
to shift the culture, it’s to steal the culture
the only thing i could get from history that’s been able to do that are religion
but for reasons i’ve articulated, i don’t want
and it’s not personally, i mean in terms of the functionality, i don’t think the standard model, the axial age model of religion is going to do what we need in order to steal the culture as deeply as we need to steal it
