The Very Deep Thoughts of Jenny Holzer

... can be found on Twitter. Really. At 140 characters a pop, she'll give you one gem after another. She's the perfect guru for our age, so move over, St. Augustine! Jenny's a real intellectual.

Here are a few of her winners. All of them are in CAPS because I think she doesn't know how to work the shift lock key.
RELIGION CAUSES AS MANY PROBLEMS AS IT SOLVES

RECHANNELING DESTRUCTIVE IMPULSES IS A SIGN OF MATURITY

SLIPPING INTO MADNESS IS GOOD FOR THE SAKE OF COMPARISON

POLITICS IS USED FOR PERSONAL GAIN
OK, I give up. All that time wasted reading Aquinas, Augustine and the rest and I could have been following Jenny. Thanks, Jenny!

Err, does anyone know who this Jenny Holzer airhead is?

Update: She's a conceptual artist. That means she does shallow, imbecilic pieces of art that look profound to anyone with an IQ under 90 or anyone from the NYC art scene. Here's her set of truisms. Man, I hope she's getting a grant from the NEA. It would serve us all right.

She has her own wiki page. She's a damn genius. I'm signing up for her Twitter feeds. Thanks, KT.

Hey, beats the girls who are vying to be Miss High Times, maybe...? Such HIGH aspirations!
