We know little of the origins and the names of our thoughts. This is particularly true of the Grotesque. The Grotesque has come to mean things which have fantastical, incongruous, disgusting and even shocking elements.

The American Dream has died. Since when? Since life no longer was about working hard and living comfortably. Since the 1% started moving the world. Since all we know are big name franchises and chain restaurants and fast foods. Since being a waiter no longer provided enough to live happily. Since getting pregnant at 16 became a reason to be famous.
The world is stagnating. It’s greatest designs have been corrupted. One of many options is to change, but how does the 99% change the 1%? We forget that this 1% is there because we wish them to be. Read 1984 and change the governments for large companies and we can see the future.
