Goodbye Cliché - Talk Tacheles

How do you understand a genius?

We all have many preconceived notions, phrases and ideas. Like an old printing press, we carry clichés in our heads. Our letters, words, and phrases are already set to express the judgment, fact, or opinion that we have programmed ourselves to believe.

So many tell the same story over and over again. While they stay trapped in the merry-go-round of the same old story deluding themselves that they told something new, the only variance was how they mixed up the order of old clichés. Thus all their stories tell the same old story. Narratives as templates of delusions. The most boring stories are the ones we haven't experienced.

But if we really want to say something new, if we want to think of something unique, we must first destroy our old clichés. Just like an old printing press- if we want to print something new, we have to take apart old notions and clichés to express new notions, phrases, words and ideas.

However, to understand a genius, you need even more than the ability to pick apart old clichés. You need the ability to recognize the disassembled parts in an entirely new context. For this, you must give yourself the space in which something new, perhaps unique, can happen.

If you want to understand a genius or think something brilliant yourself, you have to become aware of your own form of questioning and thinking. This happens as you begin to shape the patterns of your thinking yourself. To do so, you have to begin by stopping to repeat over and over again what others have already said before you. Goodbye cliché! Say what only you can say! Goodbye cliché! Tell what only you can tell! Your freedom comes from expressing these thoughts which are specifically your own. This freedom of speech will be sacred to you, especially when you speak to yourself. Free speech heals because it helps you to shape your life. Speak up! If you make the effort to speak your mind, you will eventually know when to speak and when to remain silent. Goodbye cliché!
