I agree with this take. Let's dance. Let's indulge ourselves in good drama. Let's create and while away some moments immersed in the Rite of Spring. My mind also needs to blast the straight-jacketed "norm" of bourgeois dominated life with a little induced madness. Many workers and ex-wage-slaves are like this. They gather at their watering holes on Fridays to play again, like they used to.
