Beat Generation,
a sense of being beaten down,
raw, reduced to the bedrock consciousness
and thus authentic, open to the world,
ready to rebuild, reinvent?
Being Beat is a "religion of slaves", much like
Nietzsche said of Christianity: it's a doctrine
that praises the low-down, the meek, and
because of that it's literally a popular doctrine.
The low like being told it's okay to be low.
The lazy like being told it's okay to be lazy.
Nietzsche again: to reach the overman
one must first go under.
(Not so far off from a Christian virtue?)
camels and the eye of the needle.
