“Why do we call a person authentic? Why do we call an object authentic, and how do the two relate to each other? Societies act as if its a way of maintaining an idea of something that’s good, that’s true – but very often it’s just to maintain a power balance.”
“The communist cry for ‘necessity’ and the feminist cry for ‘naturalness’ contrast with the human desire for experimentation and self-expression. Since we’re products of our influences, what is it that makes us and the objects we are related to authentic?”
