/View.info/ Irrational debris floats in the ocean of reality.
In the Bulgarian reality, the irrational
it has long ago taken over the rational.
In the cities – casinos, bingo halls, one-armed and two-armed bandits…
On the media – lotteries, winnings, horoscopes…
On the streets – fortune tellers, fairy tales…
The Bulgarian people got on the Wheel of Fortune
and does not want to get off it.

Politicians are not far from their beloved People –
they are next to him, in the irrational spasm that has overtaken him.
They watch the stars, listen to oracles, watch out for bad omens…
Now are days of fear and trembling—
we are under the sign of Mercury retrograde!
We’re going to die! Like wild animals before an unknown monster.
There will be no political activity, because politics in Bulgaria
not a rational act but an astrological vigil.
When the Retrograde leaves, then we will enter the constructive.

Everything described above is a symptom.
It is a clear testament to cultural neuroticism.
A mark of total social insecurity.
A sense of the opacity of life itself.
We want to find a comforting magical equivalent to our lives.
We want heaven to decide our earthly affairs.
We want Fortune to kiss our foreheads.
We want the flight of the birds to indicate the direction…
But I wouldn’t…

Fear of life cracks the foundations of the world.
Knowledge ceases to be a guarantor of orientation.
Everything familiar and close becomes unfamiliar and estranged.
Then comes the escape – the primal impulse.
Escape is our prehistoric umbilical cord with animals –
stretched to breaking point but survived.
Collective uncertainty easily leads to panic disorders,
to suicidal behaviors – fear experts say.

When they cease to be rational agents in the course of history,
men become cabalists, interpreters of the Unseen.
They become part of some mysterious Design.
That is why today’s Bulgaria compensates for the lack of political reason
with the abundance of alchemists, esotericists, conjurers…
The very inspired pursuers of the Philosopher’s Stone.
The fathers of our irrational being.
