I meant not only in the discussion but in the eventual revolution. It's
just that it sounded a little too much like John Lennon, so I shied back
and didn't finish the sentence. Sorry.

Again, I was trying to suggest more than actually constructing a
sentence. (A bad habit, I must admit, but it seems it kinda worked this
time). The thing is that I try not to allow commerce to influence on art
(where I can, in my own work). Not a typo, anyway.
On the other hand we are all using our experience of commerce fucking
over art as a starting point to create something else. That is one
important part of many appropiative works, isn't it?

"But certainly for the present age, which prefers the sign to the thing signified, the copy to the original, representation to reality, the appearance to the essence...illusion only is sacred, truth profane. Nay, sacredness is held to be enhanced in proportion as truth decreases and illusion increases, so that the highest degree of illusion comes to be the highest degree of sacredness." - Ludwig Feuerbach
