Istvan Kantor (a) Monty Cantsin? AMEN!
THE BOOK OF NEOISM?!
ENDLESS NOTES FROM THE NEOIST?! PLUNDERGROUND
a (de)definition hypervaganza
6 volumes (about 500 pages) of impure nonsense that promises to be the most futile and the most confusing pseudo-literary subvertainment of no times.
The BOOK of NEOISM?! is based the concept of my accumulationist theory that takes everything for free values expanding in non-linear history's timeless zone of vertical reality. In vertical reality, symbolized by the sixoclock arrow, past, present and future are not separated but everything happens and accumulates simultaneously at the same time at sixoclock. That's where the definition of NEOISM?! is: in this confusing mess of millions of accumulating ideas.
The BOOK of NEOISM?! is a massive accumulation of thousands of interchangable definitions of NEOISM?!. Most of them are simple appropriations taken/stolen from various well known, less known and unknown authors and added, altered, cut, restructured, developed, fucked up, improved, recomposed, destroyed, deteriorated, reorganized, dethroned, revaluated, abused, galvanized, anti-freezed, dehydrated, dehibernated, recontextualized, totalized, reswallowed, welded, remastered, untouched or distorted beyond recognition. Creating thousands of different definitions of NEOISM?! is almost the same as not having written a single definition and therefore leaving the subject (NEOISM?!) open to any interpretation in any directions one can possibly go.
It has been declared many time by both masochist Neoists?! and sadist anti-Neoists!? that NEOISM?! is nothing but worthless rhetoric.
To repeat this again and again is important because the secret force of NEOISM?! is in repetition. Repeating worthless ideas is basically corresponds with meditational methods of Yoga and the teachings of Tao. Is that to say therefore that there is a direct line that connects NEOISM?! to Taoism via Yoga? NEOISM?! is not only the story of my experience with Yoga and Tao but also of Yoga's and Tao's experience with me.
To put together The BOOK of NEOISM?! I appropriated the ideas of Buddhism, Taoism, the Islam, the sayings of Confucius, the Bible, the Vedas, the Talmud, The Complete Idiot's Guide series, the Gilgamesh, stupid idiots, murderers, gangsters, pop-stars, sex workers, unknown heros, my father, the Catholic Church, the Rivington School, the Tibetan Book of the Dead, children books, the ideology of Fascism, Communism, Capitalism, Socialism, Zionism, Anarchy and Nihilism, all the philosophers from Aristotle and Plato to Baudrillard via Hegel, Kierkegaard, Fourier, Marx, Sartre, Marcuse, McLuhan, Reich, all the isms of the avant-garde from Dada to Post-Modernism via Surrealism, Futurism, Lettrism, Situationism, Fluxus, Actionism, Noism, Fuckism, Whatism, Stupidism, all the ideas of scientific and visionary minds from Descartes to Joe Davis via Galilei, Newton, Einstein, Edison, Tesla, Stephen W. Hawking.
I also reused and integrated the ideas of revolutionaries and anarchists like Bakunin, Kropotkin, Lenin, Trotsky, Emiliano Zapata, Buenaventura Durutti, Emma Goldman, Rosa Luxemburg, Che Guevara, Abbie Hoffman, Ulrike Meinhof, Gudrun Ensslin, Guy Debord, David Zack, writers and poets like Endre Ady, Orwell, Camus, Henry Miller, Ginsberg, J.G.Ballard, Bob Black, Hakim Bey, Kathy Acker, Blaster Al Ackerman.
I robbed the intellect of occultist Aleister Crowley, starving fuck-off genius tENTATIVELY, a cONVENIENCE, and countless others from Krishna to Hitler, from Michelangelo to Dali, from Charles Manson to Jack Smith, from Wagner to Robert Filliou, from Eric Satie to Yves Klein, and also Marinetti, Tatlin, Cornelius Cardew, Kaprow, Gina Pane, Vaneigem, Sari Dienes, Genesis P.Orrige, Juppiter-Larsen, and more and more and many many many endless more. Their names imprinted on my mind and are also listed at the end of each chapter.
The BOOK of NEOISM?! is characterized by its exalted uselessness and voluminous emptiness. Because The BOOK of NEOISM?! is just pure bullshit and unreadable claptrap it can be considered a perfect masterpiece, an opus dei or opera omnia of NEOISM?!. The only purpose of NEOISM?! is to simulate and to pretend that NEOISM?! is actually a real movement with real philosophical background.
The BOOK of NEOISM?! is only one example and just a small part of the mind provoking massive chaos of definitions that surrounds our mental and physical space. The BOOK of NEOISM?! attempts, once and for all, to define NEOISM?!, and, at the same time, to make the definition of NEOISM?! impossible, through an endless flow of (de)definitions.
NEOISM?! is only a name and should stay only a name, so anyone can use it, without restrictions, without any rules, anytime, anywhere, and in any ways.
Call yourself Monty Cantsin! Do everything in the name of NEOISM?!.
