The essay discusses the relationship between bright, colorful objects, geometric designs, psychoactives, art, and profound experience.

Description: The comedy legend that was Bill Hicks is as relevant today, maybe even more so, what with the dumbing-down of society. He came across as cynical and skeptical of the human condition but it came from a sarcastic satirical viewpoint which made people laugh and a cult following had an affinity with his acerbic humor. This awesome graphic is perfect for those who sometimes feel the same way about the banal Soma 'fake reality tv' we are force-fed each and every day to dull our senses in Huxley's Brave New World.
