“If you wish to alter or annihilate a pyramid of numbers in a serial relation, you alter or remove the bottom number. If we wish to annihilate the junk problem we start with the bottom of the pyramid: Addict in the Street and stop tilting quixotically for the “higher-ups” so called. All of whom are immediately replaceable. The addict in the street who must have junk to live is the one irreplaceable factor in the junk equation. When there are no more addicts to buy junk there will be no junk traffic. As long as junk need exists, someone will service it.”

William S. Burroughs, “Naked Lunch”, 1959.
