insufficient carrying capacity

We're going over the cliff of unsustainability
or "insufficient carrying capacity" now
as i "speak" into the "hivemind" of non-community
if we don't ban advertising
ban TV from the lives of children birth to age 7
ban computers iPods other "screens"
ban "technococooning" devices birth to age 18
we will inevitably slide further and further
into a pacifying and cortex-pleasuring dream world
that allows corporations to kill off big chunk of speciation
in the name of "profit" and "free markets"
or simply "business as usual"

localized reskilling a high priority

jaron lanier is explaining a lot
"the unbearable thinness of flatness" for a start
he thinks about computers holding on to his heart

"you are not a gadget" anti-bland manifesto
won't solve the many big problems presto
challenges frozen needs & development arresto

Homo sap sap way too technococooned


groovology as life-affirming joyous science

synthesizes, observes ongoing processes closely

[not dismal, analyzing, taking apart, vivisecting]

& the worldhear of it, the wholistic encompassing

inclusion and expansiveness may put people off

alienate rather than elicit participation

the hole tendency toward poetry may frighten people

will there be 'kool-aide' at the end of mck9's ceremony?

hell no! we're putting joy first flashing absolute bodicheatcha

maybe there are as many grooves as vibes, as discrepancies

any two vibes rubbing against each other may have a groove

could evolution (or mojo's elvislution) be a megagroove?

if all mutating species co-adapting co-evolving r us in synch

but only slightly out of phase kud Humo ludens collaboratus hear it?

a prehistorical perspective

"The past and the future
-- far from being a matter of concern --
were wholly implicit in the present;
and the odd facts enumerated above
-- the divinity of animals and kings,
the pyramids, mummification --
as well as several other and seemingly unrelated
features of Egyptian civilization --
its moral maxims,
the forms peculiar to its poetry and prose --
can all be understood as a result of a basic conviction
that only the changeless is truly significant.
[footnote: See my Ancient Egyptian Religion, New York, 1948,
and Kingship and the Gods, Chicago, 1948.]"
from
Henri Frankfort, The Birth of Civilization in the Near East

an early civilization focused on the changeless
why don't we want to keep the eternal going?
why does divinity of animals seem strange to us?
why do we believe in our tech continually
changing the beJesus out of reality?
can the same technomania that is killing us
create solutions for the problems
our techno-cocooning has created?
we are screened off
we are screened out
we are screened in
we are monitored and managed
pharmaceuticalized locked in locked up
didn't dare to impeach
our sickest sick PUP
Perpetual Unilateral Preemptive wars
few now care to interrupt
half of each tax dollar
feeds the war machine
another chunk interest on war debts
may the tea party become a peace parade
led by our war vets

a post on the way to where?

"a post on the way there" part of lord buckley's hip ghan
that's a all we can say for this blog-plog -- and beyond?

"when you get to it and you can NOT do it
there you jolly well are" another saying from my mon

think i'd better blather to a limited local public
than waste time inside this box saying bye bye

over & over no i to i -- asking since June 30th for fellow crawlers
july, august, september, one 'follower' no new member

860 435 0717 is where i can be reached

post-computer post-tv

pc pre computer ptv pre tv
pre screenings of consciousness
what's it mean to just BE

post-pomo post-toasties post-posting-my-poop
time to just let everything droop
longer than drop and you don't have to stoop
longer than stop! can't close this loop

just stop doing zeros and ones
digital virtual less & less fun
catching insects on allium
with canon
power shot
digital elph
just more naming & filing
by a selfish small self

why was the fox so dead in the road
fullstop to ask questions slows overload
slow politics offline may never catch on
but neither does whining into beyond
