what’s interesting to me is the sly admission that he exerts power as an artist through trying to change what others think, but to him, that’s a benign form of power. some (foucault, orwell, etc) would say that’s the most insidious and effective form.

unless you are truly disconnected from the world, you live in the web of power that envelops us all, certainly, some feel less burdened by it, and maybe that’s the measure of freedom that many seek.
