"In a closed society where everybody's guilty, the only crime is getting caught. In a world of thieves, the only final sin is stupidity." -Hunter S. Thomson
Lately, the absurdity and destructive nature of civilization, politics and pop culture has left me lost and hopeless. Failures and biases on every level have led to a dangerously misinformed and overly simplistic view of the universe and human motivation. To treat such absurdity with reason and respect is to ultimately normalize the lies and suppress the truth.
Gonzo Journalism is a philosophy coined by the late Hunter S. Thomson, where expressing truth isn't limited to objectivity, therefor denying the our systemic cage it's unearned legitimacy. In the Gonzo philosophy objective facts, storytelling, literary devises and even straight-up fiction maybe utilized to convey truth, the holy grail.
