Rob Lustig calls the United States "the drug capital of the world," and he isn't talking about cocaine, heroin, or methamphetamine, nor even mass-marketed opioids like OxyContin. He is referring to sugar, a substance that, in 2013, the chief health officer of the Netherlands declared to be "addictive and the most dangerous drug of all times." "Addictive" is not too strong a term. A Harvard Medical School study found that people ingesting foods with a high glycemic index -meaning, in practice, junk foods that rapidly elevate blood sugar levels- got hungrier faster. On fMRI scans, they showed activation of the same brain regions stimulated by drugs such as cocaine or heroin. Never missing a profitable beat, multinational corporations vigorously market sugar-laden resignet concoctions to children, and prey on people who, owing to trauma, penury, and grinding oppression, are especially vulnerable to addictive substances.

“remember two things: i. that everything has always been the same, and keeps recurring, and it makes no difference whether you see the same things recur in a hundred years or two hundred, or in an infinite period; ii. that the longest-lived and those who will die soonest lose the same thing. the present is all that they can give up, since that is all you have, and what you do not have you cannot lose.”

Bizde "okumak" bambaşka anlamlara gelir.Bizde okumanın bir karşılığı olmalı."Babam bizi okutamadı, çocuklarım okusun da kendilerini kurtarsınlar.Okutucam lan bu çocukları!"diye feryat ederken babalarımız yeraltı edebiyatı okusunlar,bilim kurgu okusunlar,beat kuşağı yazarlarını okusunlar demek istemezler.Bizde okunur,adam olunur.Okumak masa başı iş içindir,lojmanda kalmak içindir,kendini kurtarmak içindir.
Beat Kuşağından Sonra Başlayabilir
Yeraltı edebiyatı, Batı merkezli bir edebiyat türüdür. Batı edebiyatlarında kötülük algısı ve kötücül olan sistematik olarak günümüze kadar getirebilir. Orada, Aydınlanma felsefesi ile birlikte kötülük algısındaki değişimin felsefî tabanı tanımlanabilir. Modern evredeki toplumsal yapı ve kültürel değerlerdeki değişim, dünya çapındaki yazarlarla örneklendirilebilir. Varoluşçuluk felsefesi tartışmaya açılabilir ve bu bakış açısı derinleştirilebilir. Böylelikle asıl süreç, Beat Kuşağı ve 1950'lere getirilerek yeraltı edebiyatı Beat Kuşağından sonra başlatılabilir.
So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.
Böylece akıntıya karşı kürek çekeriz, durmadan geçmişe sürüklenen tekneler gibi.
