Famous Billy Poon Quotes

“We are who others are. We cannot exist in this world devoid of other people’s grace. There will always be a time when we have to face others, whether we like it or not. From the minute we are born, we have to face the embrace of our mother and father. To us, they are other people; they are not you, even though parts of them live through you. From the time you are born, you have unequivocally entered a social contract with your mother and father – that you will live in this world.”

“In a selficated society, you feel free only when you are never free. You are being negotiated constantly to become your own master and slave at the same time, a project-maker and meaning-maker of one’s individuality with the exclusion of others except one’s own activities. It becomes a society habitually wanting itself for itself and by its own volition to stoop within the confines of self-interest.”

“Biopolitics is characterized by, 'You should do it!' through excessive exertion of discipline and punishment; psychopolitics is characterized by, 'You could do it!' through the compulsion of psychiatric therapies and excessive positivity; and technopolitics is characterized by, 'You would do it!' through the impulsion of marketing, branding, and selling one’s own digital identity via OnlyFans, Twitch, Instagram, and Twitter because of the allure of infinite digital potential and techno-power to create new virtual realities and live out the life of your dreams albeit synthetic and inauthentic as a means to subjugate the minds and bodies of people to behave certain desirable ways that benefit the techno-states’ algorithmic parameters and intuitively exert coercion and control through techno-discursive and non-discursive formations of knowledge-acquisition and pre-selection of algorithmic feeds that are preordained not to benefit the collective interest of humanity but through the survivability of the company as they demand it so.”
