TAZ is Ontological Anarchy -- something you do in the Here and Now, not a lofty philosophy or far-away goal ( despite Bey's philisopophical rantings )
TAZ is a reaction to the banality of our society and its boringness
a TAZ is secret & closed & intensely pleasurable for its members
but at the same time, it wants to expand & multiply until it infects [the universe]
illegality means more than mere law-breaking... The criminal's tragedy, however, lies in being nearly [meerly?] the opposite of the cop
It's about the Organic Turnips
When the rest of society figures out what you're getting away with, by the time the authorities come to stamp it out, you've already scattered and joined another TAZ FORMING
... the Strange Attractor around which memes accrue, chaotically forming new and spontaneous orders. Here we have an aesthetics of the borderland between chaos and order, the margin, the area of "catastrophe" where the breakdown of the system can equal enlightenment.
