Reality
Update, |
| WWWebgreetings Dear Linear Scholar, I came across this excerpt in the Magus, by John Fowles, just the other day and it is ‘very close to exactly’ the synergy that I would like to create in reality.. A new kind of drama, one in which the conventional separation between actors and audience was abolished. In which conventional scenic geography, the notions of proscenium, stage, auditorium, were completely discarded. In which continuity of performance, either in time or place, was ignored. And in which the action, the narrative was fluid, with only a point of departure and a fixed point of conclusion. Between these points the participants invent their own drama. As I said at the start, almost exactly, what I hope to induce, as far as the experience of participating in the Peace Pipe Project in reality. A reality that is imminent, at least in the physical sense, a geographical location that you can actually visit and be seen doing something constructive towards wwworld peace. Anyway, the Mardi Grass is less than two months away (start of May) and since it is the largest gathering of it's kind in the southern hemisphere, makes it the #1 cannabist event of the year, and well, what else can I say but....Be there or see it in the square. Yep, I will be set up web cam wise somewhere in Nimbin for the duration of the Mardi Grass. Any linear scholars who are 'thinking about maybe turning up' to the Mardi-Grass are more than welcome to crash out here at "Head Quarters," just send me an e-mail and let me know. So what should I talk about next? Hmmmn, how about these wwwords from a recent phone conversation.... ;O)--~ "You know about computers, how serious is this millennium bug?" "Very." "How very is very?" "VERY" "That serious huh? "VERY VERY much so." "What should I do?" "Every time you go to the shop to buy anything, buy a couple of packets of seeds and some extra cans of food." "Why?" "Well, you gotta have enough food to last until the seeds grow." "What has seeds and food got to do with computers." "Well if the crash happens the shops won't have any food in them because the most vulnerable industries are the energy generation and transportation systems, so they will be amongst and first to go. If they go, there's no fuel -no trucks, not trucks no no transport of food into cities, no electricity and the banks go, and that means the push me - pull you hole in the wall card won't work no more, not that no banks will matter too much, I mean who would swap food or seeds for pieces of plastic or paper in a famine?" "oh" "Just be grateful you are not in the northern hemisphere, that's where it is going to hit the hardest, , the most optimistic figure I seen is for a 40% urban casualty rate, and that's just the numbers should the food distribution network break down, in areas with nuclear power generation we could be talking melt down." "Seeds eh" "Yep, and besides which, the worst that can result from the tin and seeds preparation is that you have enough free food in the pantry to really enjoy the party that 2000 could yet turn out to be, not to mention that if you plant the seeds you have free food for a year." "Yeah, seeds, what a good idea, so you reckon they'll be better than money?" "Think about it." "Don't worry I am." "Actually I just found out an amazing thing about money." "What's that?" "You already know the answer to that one." "Look it up in cyber space for my self?" "Exactly" "Where?" "Here"
