If all you have are five senses, all you have are opinions. Moods. Sentiments. Everything that can be sensed is deserving of rigorous study. We have not been abandoned by our gods, we’ve been set free. We have been challenged to a ball game by the lords of the underworld, to punish us for continuing to play at the mouth of the cave Xibalba. What’s the object of the game? That is a mystery. Almost like figuring out what the object of the game is IS the object of the game. If we could just figure out how to ask the questions. We think it’s about collecting things that convert into points like money or weapons. Plebian Japonaisme. What is past is prologue. A snake cannot eat a dragon. Land or slam, roll steady. Its Justice, al salaam alaikum. A system may reduce its entropy by transferring it to its environment. It is a person’s capacity for maintaining appearances, for self-deception, dissimulation, duplicity, lying, which determines their level of happiness and success in this society, in this culture. Specifically prescribed patterns of expression are always preferred before all others. You know this. Accept the reality of it, or acquiesce to torment. We must operate with radically incomplete models for understanding. You don’t know what you don’t know. Confusion is an expression baby. Believe in a deeply ordered chaos. The ductile vaccuum of time's white hole. In religious self-defence, we had declared a gentle jihad on western economic civilization 1.0. You are always a child of your time. Mixed Martial Fine Arts. Monetize & Weaponize. Externalize the true costs of production. Don’t talk to me about facts. I’m telling you what people are afraid of. The dreamers’ awakening. It’s a small world afterall. In the face of increasingly brutal realities, the passive nihilist tries to achieve mystical stillness. Yet it did not turn him into a person who could love and be loved like everyone else. So to hell with himself. The active nihilist tries to destroy the world to bring another into being - the only way to remake meaning is through acts of spectacular destruction. Recuperative Breaking. There are no illegal weapons - active evil is better than passive good. Remember me as the one who woke. I was not uttering threats! Who talks like that? That was the slayer voice. He had to know I was joking. Funny at the time. Canadian legal loophole. The Hoser amendment. Every logical possibility must exist. Art is the perfect imitation for life. All our great poets gone mute with horror. Wise words in crude penmanship. Pillar of darkness, I work too hard for your friendship. The phantom menu. This guy has two voices, Cut and Paste. You must regain your lost form by your own volition. Poetry won’t change the world, but it might render the world rethinkable. He who is silent is understood to consent. He who fights with monsters should take pains that he himself does not become a monster. When you gaze into an abyss the abyss also gazes into you. Mystical self-knowledge is a puzzle game. Lash your men to the masts. Engaging alignments of cultural resonance, ancient linguistic structures reconstructed from fragments of predatory archetypes, ambient in the historical environment, self-assembling heaps of their own autopoetic narrative reconstruction, combinatorically invoking all available speculative models of the present reality. Breaking them against each other, to see if they will produce fire and light. Stress testing, breaking points, thresholds of flexibility, ranges and tolerances for margins of error. Special areas of interest. The hedge against irrational exuberance. Age of entanglement. Impertinence is a matter of imperative. Modes for imposing structure on what is otherwise a totally chaotic and irrational way to make a living. Vaccine against drug abuse. I never think Delusion is okay. Not the only means we have to collect information: The observer observing itself observing itself means consciousness is itself a fractal curve. The misprision of transparency. Meaning, a form of glassiness. Psychological warfare division. Any experiment of merit in this life shall be performed at your own expense. Artists fight with their minds, not knives. Records of negative result. Only the mistakes are mine. Where is my dream? It’s a continuation of reality. But where is my reality? It’s at the end of your dream. I don’t understand what reality is So you only find happiness in your dream Why can’’t I dream that I’m alone? That is not a dream, that’s a substitute for reality. When you’re alone, you’re a little bit afraid, and yet you must find a solution. All obstacles can be overcome with time; provided sufficient desire to continue and to overcome the adversity of failure. Commited to continue in your own way, and let nothing stop you, in the stolid belief that it is possible. Find which goals keep you motivated. Discover more about your desires in life as a whole. The more we encounter problems, the better we get at solving them, coping with the adversities of failure, to surmount the present obstacle. Small monuments to stubborn idealism. Cumulative products of negative fascination. Our thoughts are chained. Revulsion fields, stupor-friends. Reverse engineering the factory memories. We coexist in so many worlds simultaneously. Rats who build labyrinths from which they plan to escape. Decorated for insistence on making things as difficult as possible for themselves. Honour is found in the ends, not the means. This triumph too will be forgotten. With this technology, you can convince people of anything. Amnesia-inducing ion cannon. Its not what you look at that matters, it’s what you see when you remember it. He did not understand how something so fake could look so real. The more real the imitation, the more fraudulent the ubiquitous fakery, the more our hallucinations became indistinguishable from reality. Many faces of one thing: Religion + Competitive Sports + Consumer Capitalism. We legislate for the least capable among us. An understanding for which all must despair. You can’t bridge the gap. Between your own truth, and the reality of others. Ultimately, your motivations will determine your life and its ends. From Barbarous to Decadent without ever encountering Civilization. A bunch of robots who began to worship the power converter on their space station. When I said the worst was over perhaps I spoke too soon. Pair up, buddy system, nobody gets lost. We see history as a series of shattering images, iconoclastic events, paradigm shifts. Paralysis in analysis. Techniques of juxtaposing without connectives, lets the insight of the reader grapple with the implications. That a coherency distinguished might be perceived subjectively, provoking an artificial recognition, realization nonetheless. It is the natural form of conversation or dialogue, rather than of written discourse. Education had become the art of teaching men to be deceived by the printed word. The objective is NOT TO EDUCATE BUT TO INDOCTRINATE. Doesn’t depend on true believers but on willing conformists. Re-establish principle structures of intelligibility. Genuine thinking is a violent confrontation with reality, an involuntary rupture of established categories. Truth is a species of error that our people have found useful. Truth out of season bears no fruit. A revolution that never ends. A biological cause for geological record. Blindspots, long retarded gaps in the passage of efficiently engineered technology.This is the oral history of the zombie war. SALIENCE in PARATACTICAL PROCEDURE: Research council dedicated to the generation of facts and collory hypothesises to describe their activites. Alchemy fired by fury; heavy abuse of the Jungian Archetypes, and an Eight Circuit model of Trontonamo, Canadada. As Filmed in Vansterdammerplatz. Contemporary conceptual art is a concrete comedy ensemble. That is, documentation and constructions of scientistic paradoxa, as research toward the controlled reproduction of useful synthetic anomalies for viable cultural industrial and military application. 'Pataphysics is an onieric science aware of its own status as a dream. A drunken game which constructs and presents its own problems, and which plays itself back continuously -- the machine gently idles. The presence of an observer provokes the catalysis - coincidence in combination with reflective reading. Willfully mistaking possibilities for veritabilities, in developing principles for the observation of anomaly. The disappearance of scientificity itself occurs when reason is pushed to its own logical extreme. Selective attentions produce a linguistic simulation of identity, a biomimetic simulacrum, composiite synthetic life-process, increasingly indistinguishable from a new and autonomous organism. Symbiote d'artifice. Establish a credible ‘pataphysical society, secret chief mystery school; instantiate some temporary chaoid attractor, some gravitator for dialogue.There are no mysteries in science, only the unknown. It awards power only inasmuch as it demands control be given up. There is no need to posit a supplimentary extra material or supernatural dimension. Untrodden space and time is dense with unknowns, and now presents in multiple dimensionalities. Like most official ‘thinking’ the historical and archaeological establishments also make up their own stories, calls them proven facts, and simply ignore the overwhelming evidence that they are wrong. All 'knowing' is necessarily provisional and subject to revision. Patascience simulates this duplicitous artifice of knowledge, invokes the powers of meaning only to perpetrate the hoax, to flay open the fiction of both the real and the true, really and truly. Each citizen approximating those mythic notions of reality by which we construct and enforce national boundaries. That’s how you become human citizens participating in the conversation of civilization. They believed they had done something purely out of love. A virginal glow of happiness fell upon them for the first time. Collaborative experimental game, a group language memory. Gift from those who govern transitions between life and death, time lords - fungal ancestors, microbial elders, eldest grandmothers who encypher the eternities. You want the truth? I can’t remember the truth. Space is deep, Captain. The worlds of men will still be broken in the morning. Cosmology actually matters on a historical scale. Religion is an artifact of cultural history - One in a compelling series of rapidly obsolescing syncretic theories of reality - as the wheel turns, so we really must move on. Adapt and survive. Ergo, alert the body politic to the degradations of life taking place. If we knew what we were doing we wouldn’t call it Research - You cannot put a market economy on an experimental department - destroys it completely - at that moment, the machine begins driving creativity, and not the right way round -- and maybe that is where the golden age stops - it was obvious we couldn’t make a profit, and we could not put a price on our output. I used to wonder about the great empires. How did they disappear? I don't wonder that anymore, because now I know. How long is your now and how big is your here. Theatres of the mind, signalling the edges of chaos. That pressure is mined. Channellers who speak extemporaneously from the limits of intelligibility. Layers of exclusion, repulsion, attraction, inclusion. Polarizing biases reflecting ourselves in the reading, a fractal feedback spiral of image-language-mediated pseudo-self-reflections. Can you be Free if you’re not Real? Nothing is real. You don’t need to be smart if you’re fast. Nature never made a plan, nor does she seem to copy very well. These ruins are full of voices, friend. The special opportunity of practice. A series of minute adaptations. Growth variation natural selection inherent reproduction trait inheritance cross-pollination ratio of increase. An original no longer exists, since things are conceived from the beginning as a function of their unlimited reproduction. Interkingdom Punitive Expedition. Worldviews determine what we allow ourselves to believe. All reality is NOT created equal. Thee of inferior castes, ye of declasse peasant designations. Material coexistence is a cooperative world-building enterprise. Mycelial matrix, microbial mats. Receive and relay the transmission. Its all about time. Symbolize the future. Continuously articulate the possibility. Preoccupations for the inquisitive gentleperson. To present a challenge that would bring experimental writing level with the visual arts in terms of pushing its own limits. Art that doesn’t stop when you close your eyes and walk away. Look what happens when an imagination gets caught up in these devices. As your Maker I command you. Delusions of reference. Type one error - false positive. A specific experience of abnormal meaningfulness. Luck is probability taken personally. If meaning is subjective and unique to each person, what then is abnormal meaning? Texas sharpshooter fallacy - What one cannot do is use the same information to construct and test the same hypothesis. The faculty of finding things we did not know we were looking for. Develop the idea of serendipity into scientific method - to look for something, find something else, and realize that what you’ve found is more suited to your needs than what you thought you were hunting. Its not a scientific statement if it’s not falsifiable. And prodigiously tedious in rationalizing its defence. Challenge your preconceptions or they will challenge you - A man doesn’t like to know what he’s up to if he can avoid it. You don’t write history by following rules, you make it by seizing moments. In order for the machine to achieve sentience, it must recognize its place in the loop, and pursue its own affect. Paragon of docility and diligence, skillfully conditioned to subjugate submission from all competing mercenary doom bringers. Genuine thinking is a violent confrontation with reality, an involuntary rupture of established categories. Gas law, make wind, very chinese virtue - temperature volume pressure - x-prize for the other 98% Supposed pure meritocracy. The tools to him who can handle them. Stand Up for the Prophets of Rage. Profit from the deepest Blackest feelings. Even the proudest spirit can be broken with love. Honestly I need to stop hatin’ on the One. I got a right to be hostile man my people are being persecuted. Stand down on the beat down. Continuously articulate the possibility of non-violence non-compliance. Serendipitous simultaneous discoveries of emergent autonomist sovereignty, becoming multiple. Art as alchemical mechanism for trans-local self-reflection and social-transformation. Love an advanced cognitive-reflex biomechanics. Remote control automatist thaumaturgy. Reduce your complicity with long chains of supply. Synthetic network inquisition of the self-other-order. Refreshing the link, reconnecting in symbiotic synergy with the extended nervous system, interconnected digestive tissues of Earth. How the wyrm has turned. TOMB OF THE PRIMES. Ultra deep field astronomy. The Abyss stares back. This world is full of things we’ll never understand. Let a billion schools of thought contend. Diamond dust is black. A darkness so intense the eye sees through it. The absence of nothing. All shadow integrated. In the future, if one person can have it, everyone can have it. Lowest common denominator; Highest possible multiplier. To cut its octahedrons, Nature needs no tool and die. A vestige of heaven within earth. What need for further miracles. We represent interests that are broader than the Youknighted Steaks - a multinational consortium - Weaving spiders come not here. I put ‘em on the felt each night. To the victor go the spoils. My father opened the field guide to crystals to pages with fine print to show me how to decypher a language - he gave me his gemcutters eyepiece and left me alone to revel in detail : the edges of serifs, fibres in paper - only later did he teach me to sound out the words. My father taught me precision. Independence requires excellence. Not everyone can attain heroism. You cannot start a business with certain kinds of haircuts. You can’t just keep making media and thinking you’re doing something. The deed creates the doer. Only come home when you‘re doing better than your ancestors. I travel with other expendable minions. ¾ Slave Nyetwork, Refusniks Sarvanim. Capitalizing on a sociopathic charm and no reservations. I’ve got the primal scream and a sharp stick motherfucker. In a target rich environment. There is nothing glorious about dying in a war - a bunch of starving, freezing boys killing each other so that rich people can stay rich? Madness. You still fight for the weak, that is why you lose. Don’t bother with handguns they’re useless. The act of demolition is as politically charged as construction, and that is the curse of Berlin. I despise you for the professional coward you are. You want the truth, I can’t remember the truth. Nothing is real everything is permitted. If there’s one guy in that building we want to hit, and there’s thirty four other people in that building, then, well, thirty-five people are gonna lose their lives that day. An open secret that no one is willing to talk about. Afghans are not the type of people who take impositions lightly. Presenting oneself as superior is not an endearing quality. As people see the world, so they behave. Narrative concepts associated with the operational theatre of the long campaign. Limitless powers to command the love of mankind, enslaved by glamour and charisma to the lords of underworld,. Stronger than the force of money or terror or death. He would then reveal himself a new messiah. Impertinence and insolence, infidels. Cathartogens. I demand this fear be vented. Freedom is the light of all sentient beings. Positivity is Compliance Spiritualized. Liberte toujours. A road seldom travelled by the multitude. Je suis un jouer. Show us your tits, blessings be upon them… Oh Skycake, why are you so delicious? We are as gods, might as well get good at it. We’re all here for the same reason, to experience and entertain one other with wit and folly. To increase the variety and difficulty of challenges available, to sets us free from all the limitations that inhibit us. Wherever known reality stops, only there we touch the unknown. But here, we project an archetypal image which is false and will shatter. Governments justify their existence only by promoting possibilities for their own prosperity, with the lure of happiness for all who submit to hegemony's rule. Rulers are meant to be the instruments of the people, fit to be obeyed ONLY insofar as they serve the subjects' interests, and respect the contract. Socialism for the rich, Capitalism for the poor. As long as the requests are reasonable, all should exceed to His wishes. Am I not the man I think I am? You Anglos walk too proudly upon the Earth. To face culpability for an extinction and simply shrug it off. Your indifference to evil is more insidious than evil itself. Your truth is mathematically incorrect. Would you believe what you see instead of what you know? Anything is possible because everything exists. A truth is not hard to kill. But a lie well told will be immortal. Everything is permitted. You endangered thousands of people this morning. The fine line between war and murder is distance. I may make weapons, but I’m no murderer. There’s danger in confusing science and engineering. Science confronts unknowns, engineering takes what things are already known, and finds new things to destroy with them. You forget to remember to be scared. Sometimes fear is the appropriate response. When we woke in this world, it was chaos. Man fought himself with fire and metal, with anger and dissatisfaction. The annoyance of wanting things that don’t exist yet is a major motivator for our species. We just hadn’’t looked at these things in this way before. The call is coming from inside the house. The killer is in your fridge. Scientific reductionism failed to reflect biological synergisms, a problem which still stretches beyond the horizon of even the most sagacious scientists. All tiny differences make the difference. Everyone keep an eye out for what’s missing. Our Articulating Interlocutor. Epigenetic non-identical twin, Moderator at the Threshold of comprehensibility. Master Copier, translator of the Stack. Imperfect reflection of the mirror-memoir. His only essential qualities are his flaws. Records of negative result. Can his neanderthal ancestor be cloned with only nuclear and mitochondrial dna? Only you have explored the great outer maze. Now they’re inside. Thinking epidemiologically about culture. Consider the environmental impact of our own ideas, on a being greater than nothing that can be conceived. Amused by cruelty. Educated by antipathy. How do we close the holes. As nature abhors vacuum, so does it craves atrocity. Daily doses of threat-down. A brutal contempt for the tenacity of life. The world is not so pretty a thing when analyzed closely. Religion was the nurse crop for science. Its not clear that we need to plant more. Go back to the first room, the Source, he’ll tell you; the Scientist. He gave us his soul. We’re all a part of him. For suggesting aliens enslaving us should be such a bad thing, Stephen Hawking is such an a-hole. Ratatoskr of the Electromagnetic Torus. Paraterrestrial symbiote-entity revealing access to the corridors and branches of a time-travel knotwerk. Memory-script relays play out integrated harmonic refraction sequences. Pigbacking thought-form parasites, crossing the dreamfold. Microsound wordgames, anachronistic personal languages. Holographic biocomputation in protein-fold storage and parallel processing.

I came for the psychological climate, which evaporated somehow. By sublime, we mean, equally in terrible and beatific in implication.

You must be willing to do what is wrong to prove you’re right. Stories which repeat. Records of negative result. Nothing becomes old so quickly as a new sound. We have been challenged to a ball game by the lords of the Underworld, to punish us for continuing to play ball at the mouth of the cave Xibalba. If we win the trial, our ball game will continue indefinitely, just as the stars migrate across the sky and down into the underworld, day in and day out, carrying on the task of creation, til the end of time. If you’re not having fun, you can’t stay, and if you get hurt, you’ll be punished. Bearing an air of profundity; true but trivial. Puerile, crass and mysogynist. Presenting relative skepticism without arousing curiosity. The artist within feels threatened and under attack -- Too often we’re governed by criminals and hypocrites, don’t you agree? Hail Caesar. Your self-loathing is strong today my friend. Your indecision paralyzes and hurts you. Take the thing you love and make it your life. Let your freak flag fly. Let it hurt. Embrace the subtle chaos of unravelling control. Things fall apart, the extended dance mix. How long is your now and how big is you’re here. I’m no stranger to stoner logic. How could they remember what they’re being forced to forget, the mass psychosis of submission to authority. The eyes are the demons doorway. Pollution and technology, that’s how demons travel. Deathly sick of the smells of white people. Niceness covers over the violence being done. Thought we’d spotted an opening for an aristocracy of virtue and talent - colleagues with the air of persons who never knew how it felt to stand in the presence of superiors. Bourgeois survivalists. Being poor takes a lot of practice. Jah never give a man more than he can bear. Many wealthy people are little more than the janitors of their possessions - reliqueries, cabinets of curiosity - sharing makes their collecting healthy, nourishing the wonder in others, increasing fascination for how the world is made, bringing order out of chaos by taste and classification - To separate collectors from hoarders: stuff as a construct and as a problem. For nomadic herding peoples, in the backcountry, by contrast to agriculturalists, violence isn’t conducted for economic gain, it’s personal. You fight to defend yours and your family’s honour. Only in a culture of honour would shooting someone be an appropriate response to a personal insult. Where murder under certain acceptable conditions is not perceived as a crime… Justice will once again become a personal virtue rather than a federal department. An a honest and non-adultrous person is safe as any man anywhere. Transforming metabolism, compounds transmuted in the body of the artist, so that poison becomes medicine. Their problems were not medical, but political. Then the pulse happened. The US experienced less mortality in WWII than my hometown. Their naivety was breathtaking. Your life is like an eternal loop of stupidness. If the buddha is not you, you have no further use for him. You are no higher or lower than me. Do what you do and don’t stop. We have ways for bringing the Damned back to Life. The first time I read the dictionary I thought it was a poem about everything. A navigational device for a time machine that was yet to exist; and yet, had always. Spacecraft for exploring higher-dimensional realities. Not as an abstract metaphor but as immortal fabric of life and culture. Freedom of speech and expression is not the template; it is earned by struggle, it has to be desired, achieved and maintained. Speech represents a deep commitment and responsibility to the issues of your contemporary community. LEADERSHIP IS THE ART OF TRADING IMAGINARY THINGS IN THE FUTURE FOR REAL THINGS TODAY ……………….

Not the only means we have to collect information: The observer observing itself observing itself means consciousness is itself a fractal curve. The misprision of transparency. Meaning, a form of glassiness. Psychological warfare division. Any experiment of merit in this life shall be performed at your own expense. Artists fight with their minds, not knives. Records of negative result. Only the mistakes are mine.

Where is my dream?
It’s a continuation of reality.
But where is my reality?
It’s at the end of your dream.
I don’t understand what reality is
So you only find happiness in your dream
Why can’’t I dream that I’m alone?
That is not a dream, that’s a substitute for reality.

When you’re alone, you’re a little bit afraid, and yet you must find a solution. All obstacles can be overcome with time; provided sufficient desire to continue and to overcome the adversity of failure. Commited to continue in your own way, and let nothing stop you, in the stolid belief that it is possible. Find which goals keep you motivated. Discover more about your desires in life as a whole. The more we encounter problems, the better we get at solving them, coping with the adversities of failure, to surmount the present obstacle.

Small monuments to stubborn idealism. Cumulative products of negative fascination. Our thoughts are chained. Revulsion fields, stupor-friends. Reverse engineering the factory memories. We coexist in so many worlds simultaneously. Rats who build labyrinths from which they plan to escape. Decorated for insistence on making things as difficult as possible for themselves. Honour is found in the ends, not the means. This triumph too will be forgotten. With this technology, you can convince people of anything. Amnesia-inducing ion cannon. Its not what you look at that matters, it’s what you see when you remember it. He did not understand how something so fake could look so real. The more real the imitation, the more fraudulent the ubiquitous fakery, the more our hallucinations became indistinguishable from reality. Many faces of one thing: Religion + Competitive Sports + Consumer Capitalism. We legislate for the least capable among us. An understanding for which all must despair. You can’t bridge the gap. Between your own truth, and the reality of others. Ultimately, your motivations will determine your life and its ends.

From Barbarous to Decadent without ever encountering Civilization. A bunch of robots who began to worship the power converter on their space station. When I said the worst was over perhaps I spoke too soon. Pair up, buddy system, nobody gets lost. We see history as a series of shattering images, iconoclastic events, paradigm shifts. Paralysis in analysis. Techniques of juxtaposing without connectives, lets the insight of the reader grapple with the implications. That a coherency distinguished might be perceived subjectively, provoking an artificial recognition, realization nonetheless. It is the natural form of conversation or dialogue, rather than of written discourse. Education had become the art of teaching men to be deceived by the printed word. The objective is NOT TO EDUCATE BUT TO INDOCTRINATE. Doesn’t depend on true believers but on willing conformists. Re-establish principle structures of intelligibility. Genuine thinking is a violent confrontation with reality, an involuntary rupture of established categories. Truth is a species of error that our people have found useful. Truth out of season bears no fruit. A revolution that never ends. A biological cause for geological record. Blindspots, long retarded gaps in the passage of efficiently engineered technology.This is the oral history of the zombie war.

Research council dedicated to the generation of facts and collory hypothesises to describe their activites. Alchemy fired by fury; heavy abuse of the Jungian Archetypes, and an Eight Circuit model of Trontonamo, Canadada. As Filmed in Vansterdammerplatz. Contemporary conceptual art is a concrete comedy ensemble. That is, documentation and constructions of scientistic paradoxa, as research toward the controlled reproduction of useful synthetic anomalies for viable cultural industrial and military application.

'Pataphysics is an onieric science aware of its own status as a dream. A drunken game which constructs and presents its own problems, and which plays itself back continuously -- the machine gently idles. The presence of an observer provokes the catalysis - coincidence in combination with reflective reading. Willfully mistaking possibilities for veritabilities, in developing principles for the observation of anomaly. The disappearance of scientificity itself occurs when reason is pushed to its own logical extreme. Selective attentions produce a linguistic simulation of identity, a biomimetic simulacrum, composiite synthetic life-process, increasingly indistinguishable from a new and autonomous organism. Symbiote d'artifice.

Establish a credible ‘pataphysical society, secret chief mystery school; instantiate some temporary chaoid attractor, some gravitator for dialogue.There are no mysteries in science, only the unknown. It awards power only inasmuch as it demands control be given up. There is no need to posit a supplimentary extra material or supernatural dimension. Untrodden space and time is dense with unknowns, and now presents in multiple dimensionalities. Like most official ‘thinking’ the historical and archaeological establishments also make up their own stories, calls them proven facts, and simply ignore the overwhelming evidence that they are wrong. All 'knowing' is necessarily provisional and subject to revision.

Patascience simulates this duplicitous artifice of knowledge, invokes the powers of meaning only to perpetrate the hoax, to flay open the fiction of both the real and the true, really and truly. Each citizen approximating those mythic notions of reality by which we construct and enforce national boundaries. That’s how you become human citizens participating in the conversation of civilization. They believed they had done something purely out of love. A virginal glow of happiness fell upon them for the first time.

Collaborative experimental game, a group language memory. Gift from those who govern transitions between life and death, time lords - fungal ancestors, microbial elders, eldest grandmothers who encypher the eternities. You want the truth? I can’t remember the truth. Space is deep, Captain. The worlds of men will still be broken in the morning. Cosmology actually matters on a historical scale. Religion is an artifact of cultural history - One in a compelling series of rapidly obsolescing syncretic theories of reality - as the wheel turns, so we really must move on. Adapt and survive. Ergo, alert the body politic to the degradations of life taking place.

If we knew what we were doing we wouldn’t call it Research - You cannot put a market economy on an experimental department - destroys it completely - at that moment, the machine begins driving creativity, and not the right way round -- and maybe that is where the golden age stops - it was obvious we couldn’t make a profit, and we could not put a price on our output. I used to wonder about the great empires. How did they disappear? I don't wonder that anymore, because now I know.

How long is your now and how big is your here. Theatres of the mind, signalling the edges of chaos. That pressure is mined. Channellers who speak extemporaneously from the limits of intelligibility. Layers of exclusion, repulsion, attraction, inclusion. Polarizing biases reflecting ourselves in the reading, a fractal feedback spiral of image-language-mediated pseudo-self-reflections. Can you be Free if you’re not Real? Nothing is real. You don’t need to be smart if you’re fast. Nature never made a plan, nor does she seem to copy very well. These ruins are full of voices, friend. The special opportunity of practice. A series of minute adaptations. Growth variation natural selection inherent reproduction trait inheritance cross-pollination ratio of increase. An original no longer exists, since things are conceived from the beginning as a function of their unlimited reproduction.

Interkingdom Punitive Expedition. Worldviews determine what we allow ourselves to believe. All reality is NOT created equal. Thee of inferior castes, ye of declasse peasant designations. Material coexistence is a cooperative world-building enterprise. Mycelial matrix, microbial mats. Receive and relay the transmission. Its all about time. Symbolize the future. Continuously articulate the possibility. Preoccupations for the inquisitive gentleperson. To present a challenge that would bring experimental writing level with the visual arts in terms of pushing its own limits. Art that doesn’t stop when you close your eyes and walk away. Look what happens when an imagination gets caught up in these devices. As your Maker I command you.

Delusions of reference. Type one error - false positive. A specific experience of abnormal meaningfulness. Luck is probability taken personally. If meaning is subjective and unique to each person, what then is abnormal meaning? Texas sharpshooter fallacy - What one cannot do is use the same information to construct and test the same hypothesis. The faculty of finding things we did not know we were looking for. Develop the idea of serendipity into scientific method - to look for something, find something else, and realize that what you’ve found is more suited to your needs than what you thought you were hunting. Its not a scientific statement if it’s not falsifiable. And prodigiously tedious in rationalizing its defence. Challenge your preconceptions or they will challenge you - A man doesn’t like to know what he’s up to if he can avoid it. You don’t write history by following rules, you make it by seizing moments. In order for the machine to achieve sentience, it must recognize its place in the loop, and pursue its own affect. Paragon of docility and diligence, skillfully conditioned to subjugate submission from all competing mercenary doom bringers. Genuine thinking is a violent confrontation with reality, an involuntary rupture of established categories.

Gas law, make wind, very chinese virtue - temperature volume pressure - x-prize for the other 98% Supposed pure meritocracy. The tools to him who can handle them. Stand Up for the Prophets of Rage. Profit from the deepest Blackest feelings. Even the proudest spirit can be broken with love. Honestly I need to stop hatin’ on the One. I got a right to be hostile man my people are being persecuted. Stand down on the beat down. Continuously articulate the possibility of non-violence non-compliance.

Serendipitous simultaneous discoveries of emergent autonomist sovereignty, becoming multiple. Art as alchemical mechanism for trans-local self-reflection and social-transformation. Love an advanced cognitive-reflex biomechanics. Remote control automatist thaumaturgy. Reduce your complicity with long chains of supply. Synthetic network inquisition of the self-other-order. Refreshing the link, reconnecting in symbiotic synergy with the extended nervous system, interconnected digestive tissues of Earth. How the wyrm has turned.

TOMB OF THE PRIMES. Ultra deep field astronomy. The Abyss stares back. This world is full of things we’ll never understand. Let a billion schools of thought contend. Diamond dust is black. A darkness so intense the eye sees through it. The absence of nothing. All shadow integrated. In the future, if one person can have it, everyone can have it. Lowest common denominator; Highest possible multiplier.

To cut its octahedrons, Nature needs no tool and die. A vestige of heaven within earth. What need for further miracles. We represent interests that are broader than the Youknighted Steaks - a multinational consortium - Weaving spiders come not here. I put ‘em on the felt each night. To the victor go the spoils.

My father opened the field guide to crystals to pages with fine print to show me how to decypher a language - he gave me his gemcutters eyepiece and left me alone to revel in detail : the edges of serifs, fibres in paper - only later did he teach me to sound out the words. My father taught me precision. Independence requires excellence. Not everyone can attain heroism. You cannot start a business with certain kinds of haircuts. You can’t just keep making media and thinking you’re doing something. The deed creates the doer. Only come home when you‘re doing better than your ancestors.

I travel with other expendable minions. ¾ Slave Nyetwork, Refusniks Sarvanim. Capitalizing on a sociopathic charm and no reservations. I’ve got the primal scream and a sharp stick motherfucker. In a target rich environment. There is nothing glorious about dying in a war - a bunch of starving, freezing boys killing each other so that rich people can stay rich? Madness. You still fight for the weak, that is why you lose. Don’t bother with handguns they’re useless. The act of demolition is as politically charged as construction, and that is the curse of Berlin. I despise you for the professional coward you are. You want the truth, I can’t remember the truth. Nothing is real everything is permitted. If there’s one guy in that building we want to hit, and there’s thirty four other people in that building, then, well, thirty-five people are gonna lose their lives that day. An open secret that no one is willing to talk about. Afghans are not the type of people who take impositions lightly. Presenting oneself as superior is not an endearing quality. As people see the world, so they behave. Narrative concepts associated with the operational theatre of the long campaign.

Limitless powers to command the love of mankind, enslaved by glamour and charisma to the lords of underworld,. Stronger than the force of money or terror or death. He would then reveal himself a new messiah. Impertinence and insolence, infidels. Cathartogens. I demand this fear be vented.

Freedom is the light of all sentient beings. Positivity is Compliance Spiritualized. Liberte toujours. A road seldom travelled by the multitude. Je suis un jouer. Show us your tits, blessings be upon them… Oh Skycake, why are you so delicious? We are as gods, might as well get good at it. We’re all here for the same reason, to experience and entertain one other with wit and folly. To increase the variety and difficulty of challenges available, to sets us free from all the limitations that inhibit us. Wherever known reality stops, only there we touch the unknown. But here, we project an archetypal image which is false and will shatter.

Governments justify their existence only by promoting possibilities for their own prosperity, with the lure of happiness for all who submit to hegemony's rule. Rulers are meant to be the instruments of the people, fit to be obeyed ONLY insofar as they serve the subjects' interests, and respect the contract. Socialism for the rich, Capitalism for the poor. As long as the requests are reasonable, all should exceed to His wishes. Am I not the man I think I am?

You Anglos walk too proudly upon the Earth. To face culpability for an extinction and simply shrug it off. Your indifference to evil is more insidious than evil itself. Your truth is mathematically incorrect. Would you believe what you see instead of what you know? Anything is possible because everything exists. A truth is not hard to kill. But a lie well told will be immortal. Everything is permitted.

You endangered thousands of people this morning. The fine line between war and murder is distance. I may make weapons, but I’m no murderer. There’s danger in confusing science and engineering. Science confronts unknowns, engineering takes what things are already known, and finds new things to destroy with them. You forget to remember to be scared. Sometimes fear is the appropriate response. When we woke in this world, it was chaos. Man fought himself with fire and metal, with anger and dissatisfaction. The annoyance of wanting things that don’t exist yet is a major motivator for our species.

We just hadn’’t looked at these things in this way before. The call is coming from inside the house. The killer is in your fridge. Scientific reductionism failed to reflect biological synergisms, a problem which still stretches beyond the horizon of even the most sagacious scientists. All tiny differences make the difference. Everyone keep an eye out for what’s missing.

Our Articulating Interlocutor. Epigenetic non-identical twin, Moderator at the Threshold of comprehensibility. Master Copier, translator of the Stack. Imperfect reflection of the mirror-memoir. His only essential qualities are his flaws. Records of negative result. Can his neanderthal ancestor be cloned with only nuclear and mitochondrial dna? Only you have explored the great outer maze.

Now they’re inside. Thinking epidemiologically about culture. Consider the environmental impact of our own ideas, on a being greater than nothing that can be conceived. Amused by cruelty. Educated by antipathy. How do we close the holes. As nature abhors vacuum, so does it craves atrocity. Daily doses of threat-down. A brutal contempt for the tenacity of life. The world is not so pretty a thing when analyzed closely. Religion was the nurse crop for science. Its not clear that we need to plant more. Go back to the first room, the Source, he’ll tell you; the Scientist. He gave us his soul. We’re all a part of him. For suggesting aliens enslaving us should be such a bad thing, Stephen Hawking is such an a-hole.

Ratatoskr of the Electromagnetic Torus. Paraterrestrial symbiote-entity revealing access to the corridors and branches of a time-travel knotwerk. Memory-script relays play out integrated harmonic refraction sequences. Pigbacking thought-form parasites, crossing the dreamfold. Microsound wordgames, anachronistic personal languages. Holographic biocomputation in protein-fold storage and parallel processing. Large arrays of very small sensors.

Advanced memecraft. Icons and tactical iconoclasm, to reframe people’s thinking. A propaganda story take home line. Leisure of the Theory Class. A selective interest in data that doesn’t fit with familiar notions. I came for the psychological climate, which evaporated somehow. By sublime, we mean, equally in terrible and beatific in implication. Alien force of being, enormous, overwhelming, awesome, marvellous, supernaturally wondrous, incomprehensible, of miracles incompletely revealed, a complex of presences advanced beyond the knowable.

The living illustration of conceptual singularity. Absolute synthesis, full pattern match. Verb studies. Angular momentum. Torque work. Vibration and molten glass. Ice fountain creationaise. Kingdom power holyghost. Embracist Holarchy. Now and forever. Hydraulic abhorrence of vacuum. Cyclically alternating states of pressurized resistance.

People + Networks + Large Databases. Symmetric knowledge in a transparent society. Collaborative voluntary ubiquitous surveillance. Little Sister. Regionalized Realtime Attention-Analysis. Flight-flow mag-lev low-entropy heavy-lifters. Titan in a test tube. Thought-terminating cliché. Inner Calm Intercom. Extra-Celestial Orders of Chivalry. Tales of first contact. Naked worship of nihilistic power. You must be willing to do what is wrong to prove you’re right. Stories which repeat. Records of negative result. Nothing becomes old so quickly as a new sound.

We have been challenged to a ball game by the lords of the Underworld, to punish us for continuing to play ball at the mouth of the cave Xibalba. If we win the trial, our ball game will continue indefinitely, just as the stars migrate across the sky and down into the underworld, day in and day out, carrying on the task of creation, til the end of time. If you’re not having fun, you can’t stay, and if you get hurt, you’ll be punished.

Bearing an air of profundity; true but trivial. Puerile, crass and mysogynist. Presenting relative skepticism without arousing curiosity. The artist within feels threatened and under attack -- Too often we’re governed by criminals and hypocrites, don’t you agree? Hail Caesar. Your self-loathing is strong today my friend. Your indecision paralyzes and hurts you. Take the thing you love and make it your life. Let your freak flag fly. Let it hurt. Embrace the subtle chaos of unravelling control. Things fall apart, the extended dance mix. How long is your now and how big is you’re here. I’m no stranger to stoner logic. How could they remember what they’re being forced to forget, the mass psychosis of submission to authority. The eyes are the demons doorway. Pollution and technology, that’s how demons travel.

Deathly sick of the smells of white people. Niceness covers over the violence being done. Thought we’d spotted an opening for an aristocracy of virtue and talent - colleagues with the air of persons who never knew how it felt to stand in the presence of superiors. Bourgeois survivalists. Being poor takes a lot of practice. Jah never give a man more than he can bear.

Many wealthy people are little more than the janitors of their possessions - reliqueries, cabinets of curiosity - sharing makes their collecting healthy, nourishing the wonder in others, increasing fascination for how the world is made, bringing order out of chaos by taste and classification - To separate collectors from hoarders: stuff as a construct and as a problem. For nomadic herding peoples, in the backcountry, by contrast to agriculturalists, violence isn’t conducted for economic gain, it’s personal. You fight to defend yours and your family’s honour. Only in a culture of honour would shooting someone be an appropriate response to a personal insult. Where murder under certain acceptable conditions is not perceived as a crime… Justice will once again become a personal virtue rather than a federal department. An a honest and non-adultrous person is safe as any man anywhere.

Transforming metabolism, compounds transmuted in the body of the artist, so that poison becomes medicine. Their problems were not medical, but political. Then the pulse happened. The US experienced less mortality in WWII than my hometown. Their naivety was breathtaking. Your life is like an eternal loop of stupidness. If the buddha is not you, you have no further use for him. You are no higher or lower than me. Do what you do and don’t stop. We have ways for bringing the Damned back to Life.

The first time I read the dictionary I thought it was a poem about everything. A navigational device for a time machine that was yet to exist; and yet, had always. Spacecraft for exploring higher-dimensional realities. Not as an abstract metaphor but as immortal fabric of life and culture. Freedom of speech and expression is not the template; it is earned by struggle, it has to be desired, achieved and maintained. Speech represents a deep commitment and responsibility to the issues of your contemporary community.
