Can someone help me figure out a T-shirt I saw at the Gap?

So, the Gap has a line of new T-shirts designed by various contemporary artists. One of them, designed by Rirkrit Tiravanija, reads...

Am I not appreciating the joke or some subtle irony -- or is there, indeed, some grammatical ghetto fabulosity going on here?

Ὅσον ζῇς φαίνου
μηδὲν ὅλως σὺ λυποῦ
πρὸς ὀλίγον ἐστὶ τὸ ζῆν
τὸ τέλος ὁ χρόνος ἀπαιτεῖ.”

You don't get it? It's hilarious.

The loss of language and its attendant ability to communicate.
That people see nothing wrong IS the intent and what makes it scary
because you realize he might be onto something.

I don't want you to think like me. I just want you to think.

I believe that t-shirt is just paraphrase of Dean Wormer...

Fat, drunk and stupid is no way to go through life, son.

We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves.
