Do you know of anything that is pure, not corrupt to some
degree? Maybe everything's corrupt. I don't know. I just
meant that painful as it is sometimes, doing favors, schmoozing
at parties, whether it's Tom's basement, NYFF or The Oscars, is
a kind of social lubricant, not to be dismissed. It functions
to fulfill some human needs: making contact, gaining trust,
which in turn allows people to support and work with each other.
As an end in itself, or used to selfish or exclusionary ends,
well, maybe that's when it gets corrupt.
