Ik heb vandaag een bootleg van Tool aangeschafd met de volgende titel: Novus Opiate Seclorum
Weet iemand wat dit betekent?

Ik hoopte even dat je ook in het Latijn een typefout gemaakt had

Tool is also known to do some strange things with their merchandise. One t-shirt has written on it "Novus Opiate Seclorum", after the motto on the seal of the United States, "Novus Ordo Seclorum", which means "a new order for the ages"> This would mean, then, "a new opiate for the ages", and an opiate is a drug which calms, dulls pain, and brings sleep; it is thought that this may be a reference to Karl Marx's statement, "Religion is the opiate of the masses." Another cryptic phrase was printed on a set of concert tickets, reading, "Et In Arcadia Ego", which translates to "Even In Arcadia (I Am Present)", and refers to a painting from the Baroque period by Poussin, which reminds the viewer that Death exists even in Arcadia, the supposedly perfect place.
