Go for it.

Seriously, neccessity has a habit of inventing.

Or as #SunRa would often tell us, "Anything can give up its life; will you give up your death?"

Somebody else's idea of somebody else's world
Is not my idea of things as they are.
Somebody else's idea of somebody else's world
Is not the only way to envision
The future…

Sun Ra Arkestra - Somebody Else's Idea

“Somebody Else’s Idea’ is an affirmation that the world I live in is a world that I can change,” says baritone saxophonist Knoel Scott. “The first part of change is not accepting the status, the so called status quo, in rejecting the status quo, I free myself to the possibilities which range amongst the infinite. It is our desire. There are those who listen to our music also embrace the possibilities which range beyond the limits of the impossible."

Sun Ra Arkestra - Somebody Else's Idea

YouTube
Sun Ra enjoyed the paradox of accomplishing the impossible, a feat that extends to his very career path. It’s rare enough for any Black artist having enough time, energy, and money to run a large jazz ensemble for 40-odd years, but Sun Ra did it while also operating a record label, which boasted countless releases tracking his band’s transformation into a collectively-improvising “cosmo-drama” troupe he called the Arkestra. He did all of this while presenting himself as a costumed, Egyptology-citing, completely serious court jester from the planet Saturn. His work was informed by, and influential within, the greater jazz community, and yet somehow also stood apart from it—adjacent, outside, and beyond.

What seems to be, need not be
What need, had to be
For what was is only because of
An adopted source of things
Some chosen source as was
Need not be the only pattern
To build a world on

Lately I've been revisiting this old tv series. It's about two young people smart enough to figure out the game is rigged so they give up luxury modern living and take their chances on The Outside in search of something unknown, simply called Sanctuary.

Not entirely sure why I dug it out 😅

This is the best argument ever for why the Daves, Hotep and Davis, Knoel, and Tara too need to GET OFF THAT PLANET and join us here in the #alterdestiny of Outer (from corp control) Space ☺️
