PLOUGHSHARE THIS COURSE


Chinese Iron Plow, Tien Kung Jai Wu, 1637.

To add the prefix 'Plough' or 'Plow' to the title 'share this course' turns up a furtive picture, to my mind, of a universal process recorded throughout most human cultures. Keeping with the themes of Agriculture, farming and working with the earth, ecology, environment & climate. Transforming knowledge from the spirit-web-net-world into life-sustaining livingry & earthworks.

Ploughing can imply the cutting-edge or leading edge of the driving ploughshare itself, like the the diamond-tip of a phonograph stylus, but literally ground-breaking and earth-shattering. I like to think this reflects our work on share this book. The ‘plowshare’ might be a good pictograph for us to consider. 'Plough' & 'Share' bond well with the words 'book' and 'course'.

A 'shire' horse might power the plough, or an OX, but horse has a nice rhyme structure together with 'course' and shire with 'share' to make 'Shire this horse'. Other metaphors based on the 'horse-course' 'Plough-share' puns maybe extended to horse-manure and the process of spreading 'course-manure' (mememure) 'Share this horse-manure' or 'Share this muck'. Soiled puns dragged through earthdirt to alert the playful reader that - aware, this book!

The constellation of stars known as the 'plough' or 'Big Dipper' gives us a beautiful model of the old hermetic principle approximated to 'as above, so below'. This ‘plough to the stars’ metaphor was adopted by some Irish rebels and poet-playwrights, in their struggle for independence. A part of me thinks 'Ploughshares to the stars’ might be a good slogan for ‘Share this book’, to my mind today.

Maybe the book itself (if manufactured) will be made with seeds and fertilizer? (possibly moulded into the hard cover and spine) therefore in the right conditions the book may literally be 'ploughed' back into the earth. As Cadmus ploughed serpents teeth at Thebes.

Some of todays word play:

Declare endorse and share this coarse verse chorus of us. We're this book, buy book or by crook. Share this joint. Wear this corset. Share this purse. Ear this verse. Where this source, open? Deal this book. Aware this book. Snare this book on the reaping hook. Bare this, look. Swear this book, cross your heart. Oxhousehumper Cart. Blare this verse, sing. Flare this force. Fair this bourse? Spare this curse. Steer this brook.

SHARE THIS COURSE & THEN SHARE THIS BOOK

Share This Course.

Hi folks, I’m currently collaborating with a small but growing group of web critters led by Mark Pesce, but he's not the leader really, we are a unique decentralized community, which will lead, good willing to the manifestation of a book! scheduled for completion in 2010 and loosly based around the emerging hyperintelligence and 'hyperpeople' as defined by Mark Pesce and approximated as sharing.

As sharing is the core of – share this course & share this book – the group have recently alerted me by example to a slight change in direction to just posting at the blog, that has encouraged me here to start sharing some of our work so far, and spreading the new sharing meme, now, in early December 2009.

My position so far, inspired by the cooking and ingredients analogy with the group-course blog space, is like that of a particular individual ingredient scattered around the kitchen area, or up on a shelf somewhere waiting to be combined, or grated a little, boiled, skinned, fried, charbroiled, roasted, toasted and finally with a bit of luck, served-up with a huge healthy spread of exotic delicacies and shared wisdom, enough to feed all humanity.

I’ve been sharing my vision of a new investigation into the historical figures that I think have influenced sharing and the technology of sharing that produced great contributions to all-around-the-world-Humanity, and as a nod to the MLA and the smart tribe of critters that createdits own collective hyper-intelligence, if you like. I choose to focus on the twelve individuals introduced to us by Dr. Robert Anton Wilson, as the characters who helped shape the - decentralized sharing age -, or simply the 21st century. We can learn from the past efforts to share, and from them create a new historical framework of sharing, one reaching 420 years back to Giordano Bruno and pulling us right up to Marshall McLuhan.

These characters present a great challenge to anybody who has read one or two books or articles by them, no doubt, BOB aspired to keep us busy for the next 50 years with the fields of research and study he wet our mind-lips with. These ideas are pretty complex ideas and come from complex individuals of explicit genius, difficult to approach and shrouded in mystery, this maybe especially true to somebody who has relatively little experience in academic circles, like myself, where much of the solid foundations of this new historical - hyperintelligent tribe – lie, please don't mistake my intellectual pursuits of 'The Tale of the Tribe' as representative of what I think - Share this book - should be about. Not at all. I view this angle of approach as more concerned with - share this course - or the creation of a hyperintelligence, unbounded and access-able and - sharable - by anyone who can access the WWW.

With the power of Internet and the rise of hypersharing culture (hyperdistribution, hyperconnectivity, hyperbolic Geometry) and with the aid of new tools, many minds can congregate together and work quickly, efficiently and humanely, and my ego-drive hope is that others may soon join us in this collective adventure of sharing - sharing - and maybe a few critters will find enough time to follow my historical investigation into the people and ideas that helped to shape intelligent internet and create another alternative guide to sharing - free as the air you breath, and for all-around-the-world-humanity, or as close to the model correlated by Dr. Wilson, a life-long intellectual pursuit but one which I hope will add some spice and sugar to some of the more practical data due to be shared on the course and eventually in the book.

At the blog you'll discover different sharing activity and feedback defining sharing, and you’ll probably find items more to your own fancy, whoever you are. And, if you don’t find anything interesting at the blog then maybe search youtube for Mark Pesce and listen to his hyperflow motion languaging.

The following text was prepared by an intelligence calling itself gregorym(tm), over at the blog, I think it helps define the course and a little about what's happening over there, and - how to get involved. Thanks Greg, and Mark, and all the other posters who are providing the high quality content over at the blog.

As a group, we believe that sharing is going to dominate our future as content creators (and as users of the Internet, we are ALL content creators) and that recent innovations like Google Wave and co-presence are going to create an unprecedented era of sharing. What does all this sharing mean for us, right now, individually and collectively?

...The way this works is this – go to the URL. There’s a number of blo posts (maybe thirty) dating back to the start of the project on November the 18th. Click around. Read a little. Post a bit. Share. And when you’re done sharing, click the box that says you want to be informed by email of new comments to what you’ve posted and let’s begin a dialogue about all this stuff.

If you like what you’re seeing – Share This Invite. Just pass it right along, or write your own invite about what Sharing means to you. Here are just a few of the articles that have posted so far:

FLY AGARIC 23 LINKS: fly agaric texts.

My on going research into the biological essence of fly agaric 23' or the Amanita mushroom that struck me as the perfect avatar for a DJ, Writer, Drummer, Virus - like myself. What started out as a fun nick-name turned reached out into a labyrinth of books, articles, magazines and academic subjects, and internet web-sites - I would otherwise hardly binked at. The "fly agaric" avatar of mine lead to the discovery of Amanita's in the work of the late great Dr. Robert Anton Wilson - my favourite writer and hero of the 21st century counter-cultural re-revolutio - cemented the 'fly agaric' to the '23' enigma and kick-started a creative research project thats still under construction, but showing signs of congressing together - in the meantime, here's some TEXTS to help you, my dear reader, understand WHY fly agaric, and how the biological "thing" found in nature today has wriggled it's way throughout human history, and how I have refelcted some of my findings off a biologically rooted kind of meme gas --Steve fly.

Apoptosis Drosphilia Amrita Mushrumber

A Retrospective of a Revolutionary breakthrough in Nanotechnoloy, Genetics and Ontology (Of the primate variety).


As the word-warriors wrestle with misbehaving snakes - labelling machines - putting names on things that defy description, such is they're slippery poly-ontological statusphericalness - Pure Information = Great Surprise & cures. Heal yourself and then question the cucumber:

Pickled cucumbers are often referred to simply as "pickles" in the U.S. or "Gherkins" or "Wallies" in the U.K, the latter name being more common in the north of England where it refers to the large vinegar-pickled cucumbers commonly sold in fish & chip shops. - Cucumber


The fusion-remixtune of interdisciplinary Mushrumber epistrophy, Neurological Apoptosis and fly Amrita - intertwinning - together like DNA strands, at the nanoscale is one of the great benefits drosphilia-ontological inspired nanoscientists "111 Team" introduced into all our lives in 2009.

The catalyst can be traced to the outbreak of THINKING FOR YOURSELF, AND QUESTIONING AUTHORITY around the globe. The first step to maintaining a healthy and functioning - interactive nervous system - (INS). The MIND-BRAIN interface of the human being programs both the software, and the new-flesh hardware: cells, proteins, microtubles, chemical bonds, bone, triggers, and the atomic industrial building communes. Born from a healthy BRAIN-MIND interfaceblook. By default, one which must think for itself and question authority. The base - basic - program for powering conscious perception, memory and cognitive functions. Maintaining "I". But, and without the question, the program will not move to the next state. "IF?" Creating an entropic-apoptosistic loop.

Negentropic-anti-apoptosistic spirals of creative SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH, on behalf of all humanity created a wave of public based new effective research and developement. For profit and exploitation of, poetry and new QUESTIONS. HUMANITY began QUESTIONING everything, and thinking for themselves, checking their data with other data from a universal, world-around, statistical community feedback internet, we witnessed the collective human leap into scientific and research based culture emerging like new shoots in springtime. Leaving faith-based initiatives wrestling in the desert with dried up papyrus made of hemp.

Scientific research based culture, with a generally - individualist Gorilla Ontological perspectivism - grew in a matter of just a few months during the summer of 2009. This scientific research can be further broken down into sub-categories. Although IMHO the beginning of reductionist methods of explanation are in some sense isomorphic with the entropic-apoptsis - extinguished by the Apoptosis Drosphilia Amrita Mushrumber period of 21st century history.

In April 2009 the Muscarinic anatagonist (FA23) was introduced to various Drosphilia genes. The results, once distributed and shared with the world-around - scientific and medical community - bought all-around the world humanity together in that they started asking more intelligent questions: where is the crooked mushrumber?


From the Crooked Mushrumber: 2009.
Toxicity tests showed that the acriliq-silver nanodots were non toxic to various human cells growing in culture. The 111 team then added the nanodots to cells triggered to undergo apoptosis and were able to image those cells as they went through programmed cell death. Based on these results, the researchers prepared other nanodots containing antibodies that bind to other molecules involved in apoptosis. Psilocybyn. Dimethytriptomine. Cannabinol. LSD. for example. They then added these antibody-linked nanodots and the amrita-drosphilia-(FA23) linked nanodots to cultured mycelium.

This work is detailed in the paper "Polyplex targeting, spore tracking, and imaging of amrita-apoptosis by LUCEFERIN spectroscopic dots." An investigator from the University of Mushrumber.

The insect steroid hormone ecdysone triggers (AMRITA23) programmed cell death during metamorphosis and provides a model system for understanding MUSCARINIC hormone control of cell death and cell immortality.

The duo-core-layer membranes, with hydrophilic Acrillic outsides and hydrophobic Kinobic insides that encapsulate biological cells. Inside each of which hydrophobically caged single electron Q-BITS compute I/0 quantum questions. M(2) muscarinic receptors therefore appear to coexist as active monomers and largely or wholly inactive olgaomers in solubilized extracts of (FA23) cells.

The roles of DECAY, DAMM, STRICACRILLIC, and to some extent DREDD have now been fully explored, FULLY, in the apoptotic pathway of Drosophila cells. Here's how:

To move things through the membrane, 111 team biology developed so-called
channels, water-filled tubes. These 111 pipes are nanoscale in cross section, and permit nutrients, wastes, amrita-mushrumber juice - to pass between the cell and its environment. The 111 team used self-assembled structures of ring-shaped molecules called acryclic SMI2LE peptides - to construct artificial canals. These small amrita-peptides stack on top of one another into an arrangement that looks like a nanoscale stack of phonograph records and makes an artificial channel, like the GROOVE in a phonoglyph DISK.

As the apoptosis-drosphilia-amrita-mushrumber regulating caspases are activated during the apoptotic process, several hyperspace-hydrolyzable, Bioluminessence Resonance Energy Transfer (BRET)-based substrates have revolutionized the entire field of biological detection of apoptosis.

Team 111 ILLUMINATE the synthesis, novel characterization, and incognito targeting of an engineered (FA23) nanodevice in which foley acid (FA) is conjugated as the targeting molecule and a caspase-specific BRET-based agent (PhiPhLinux F2A3) is conjugated as the apoptosis-armrita-mushrumber detecting secret agent.

This human-drosphilia conjugate specifically targets FA23-receptor-positive, Pisa cells. In these cells, the apoptosis-inducing Ideogramic agent "CH'UANsporine" caused a 9-fold increase in the cellular luminesence. These stunning results show all-around-the-world humanity, for the first time, the potential applicability of a targeted apoptosis-amrita-mushrumber measuring nanodevice, which could be used for simultaneously monitoring the apoptotic potential of a delivered drug.

Such artificial channels can be introduced into the cell membrane,
causing things to leak in and out of the cell with great rapidity using standard - over the counter - nanotechnology pirate packs. Research into the stems of languague, etymology of cells names and proteins and chemical process codes led to a poetic outbreak of negentropic languaging.

The new languaging leads to cultural anti-APOPTOSIS. Renaissance. Eternal rebirth of novelty conserving structures, minority reports and group ontological feedback culture. Responsible for our mind-brain-body functions and software programs manipulating our electric mushrumber meat.

SO my dear readers, we met the challenge of the end of the word, and of the image and of religious faith. The end. And so humanity and the cutting edge dropped off and sunk down to lowest place, right down there, deep at the bottom. The world of the NANO! "Atoms and Ifs" as Joyce said in Finnegans Wake: a nanotechnologists dream text-sequence. Ribonuclickingly re-Translated anti-apoptosis language.

In the world of Atoms and Ifs, the realm of Post-Quantum Mechanics Team 111 have extensive experience in the varied fields of theoretical MAYBELOGIC, practical mathematics, CAD engineering, lithographic printing, neuro-biology, pharmacology, optics, micro-chemistry, 3D modelling, Neuro Linguistic Programing, software engineering, Quantum Psychology, Non-Euclidean Politics, dicing, splicing, scractching, Ideogramic method, nano-dot lithographic engineering.

Team 111 created such groundbreaking mushrumber-technology as.

An interview with Dr. Robert Anton Wilson 2019!

Howard Hallis: Do you feel that we as a species can evolve beyond death? Is immortality possible? If it is, in what ways do you feel we would have to adjust as a society to deal with eternal life?

RAW: I think it’s worth aiming for. Maybe the only way we can do it is by transferring our consciousness into silicon chips. Maybe we can transfer our consciousness into lasers. Maybe we can find a way to have the biological body regenerating and rejuvenating itself. These are all interesting areas of speculation and there’s actual research going on that may yield some answers to this. I don’t think we should just accept death with equanimity any more than slaves accepted slavery. We should rebel against it. It’s degrading! It’s insulting! It’s painful! I think it’s one of the things we need to get rid of. If life does become eternal, I think we’re going to to have to become an interplanetary and interstellar species, because longevity will make the population crunch get even worse if we stay on one planet. With longevity looming and immortality a theoretical possibility, we’re going to have to start exploring extra planetary living. There’s so much energy/resources out there, that will quickly solve all our energy/resource problems. I think it’s a coincidence, or more than a coincidence, that interplanetary travel and longevity are dawning at about the same time.

GALACTIC ARCHIVE #12. 20018 HASH MARIJUANA BAIL OUT PLAN (B.O.P)

HA$H/MARIJUANA BAIL OUT PROPOSAL.
BY FLY AGARIC 23. (HA$H MORTGAGE SECURE TEAS)
8th OCTOBER 20018.

For immidiate worldwide free copy and distribution.


"This lesson is the very basis of solid banking. Credit rests in ultimate on the abundance of nature, on the growing grass that can nourish the living sheep--Ezra Pound.


My H$H GREEN bail-out has a real bail. And has real green pot.
To mean my H$H GREEN Bail is Cannabis! Yes. My HA$H plan.
To save the American Hempire, this Emergency HA$H/Cannabis
Bai-LOUT Plan.t. 2018.

To manufacture a new housing security market. HA$H/Cannabis
mortgages backed up by plants. Secure. Safe. Sure to flower.
Invest cash in HA$H by the Pound. My Green bail-out for the
Housing market involves growing 10 plants per U.S household.
A new Cannabis market will take off like a rocket. Check it.



“As long as the sun keeps shining or your hydro’ lights stay on, you can sleep sound with the security of cannabis investments.” --HA$H MORTGAGE SECURE TEAS


In the wake of recent economic and financial catastrophe i'll wager not not one political mouthpiece or media whorehouse has entertained the prospect of a HA$H/MARIJUANA BAIL OUT PROGRAM: The Global decriminalization of Cannabis related crimes and the creation of roughly 160 new national HA$H/MARIJUANA trading nations.) Considering its historic U.S hemp constitution, the United States might be the first to adopt my plan. Or something resembling it, drawn up by some clever clogs at the 2018 GREEN party. Yeah. Sure.


“Trust your crop not your government banking cop.”--HA$H MORTGAGE SECURE TEAS


Imagine, not only will the new green market boost and blaze the currently crippled global economy with a grass-roots plan for rapid growth and HA$H cash injections, but, the medicinal and social benefits of a nation, or nations with un-punished access to high quality Cannabis maybe critical in times of deep depression, recession and mad greed wars. When all else is crumbling and decaying around you it just might be nice, at least, to smoke a splff if you wanted too, or else eat a pot brownie, and well now, hell, why not fuck in the streets too?

Along with the Netherlands; Iceland, Ireland, Malaysia, Britain, Germany, America, Japan, Kenya and Canada will all have their experimental 12 month trial period adopting Cannabis decriminalization; starting April 20th 20019. Licensed smoking houses, information centers and trading markets combined with the freedom for each individual to grow at least 8 plants and have up to 19 ounces of ready to smoke Cannabis in their possession will create a buzzing community of calm and creative people, living harmoniously with others who maybe driving their death monsters, drinking poison or eating death foods,


“"We'll tolerate their hobbies if they'll tolerate ours" --Guns and Dope party slogan. 2004 California race.


The massive insurgence of green-fingered gardening fanatics and peaceful growers will boost the market for growing equipment, soil, fertilizer, comic book and science fiction culture, and get troublsom kids off the street and into the garden. Also people will be encouraged to move around in their communities, sharing cuttings, tips and buds with oneanother, while getting back into some of natures most ancient cycles and gaining new awareness for seasons, for biological science, cleanliness.


"Hi yield guarantea.”--HA$H MORTGAGE SECURE TEAS


The HA$H bail-out horticulture plan nurtures the careful, loving preparation rituals, the care and individual responsibility required to grow Cannabis for Secure mortgages of the highest quality, to help re-grow and to re-invigorate the US property market, and then also possibly the entire worlds property markets, unleashing the potential for the more meaningful 2019 GREEN energy revolution, GREEN medicine, GREEN fiber (and it does not certainly have to be colored green it can be dyed other colors), GREEN fuel, GREEN paper, GREEN currency. Think about it. Corn was once a kind of plant-currency. The Funky green corn called Cannabis could really, joking aside now, help the world economy get itself out of the current slump, where investments in Bombs, Germs, Steel, GOV DRUGS, OIL etc. have us spinning into a dirty non GREEN funky spell.

The Iran war has cost roughly $700 Trillion so far in America alone. Britain just spent 33 Trillion on a new Quadent Nuclear Missileprogram. This is RED investment. RED for the blood of KILLINGRY. The business of death and decay. From Nukes right down to computer chips that guide them, Killingry is not an option for any harmonious future between humanity and planet earth. I am for Livingry, for cooperation and for good sound thinking, these are the order for these tricky days ahead and the task of solving some of the dire problums we are wrapped up in.

"Do the H$H BOP and trim your profit from the tip-top"
--HA$H MORTGAGE SECURE TEAS

My green HA$H bail-out proposal (H$H B.O.P) maybe a little more of a serious proposal than at first strikes you. Only the LAWS of prohibition, so vehemently enforced by the TSOG USA, the TSOG UK and the European TSOG Union stand in the way, realistically to a new worldwide HA$H BAIL out mortgages securities market. They could drop that law ina flash, let all the Cannabis crime related prisoners walk free and invest the surplus CA$H and maybe begin gra$$ roots sparkt-up companies that specialize in GREEN! hemp and GREEN Cannabis related products, products of LIVINGRY, soap, bread, cakes, clothing, footwear, building materials, fuel, fuel, cookies etc. Good food, clothing, fuel and shelter stuff. Opposed to Nukes and Fossil fuels and Virtual “joke” credit. (TSOG = Tsarist Occupation Government, as defined by Dr. Robert Anton Wilson. 1932-2007)


WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Continuing the recent trend, marijuana arrests set another all-time record in 2017, totaling 872,720. --http://www.cannabisculture.com/articles/5268.html


The H$H BOP would also be turning around the horrible and inhumane punishment against mostly harmless citizens who enjoy the relaxing effects of Cannabis. Those who are incarcerated for dealing bigger quantities will be unable to re offend due to the legalization of the Cannabis drug they may, or may not have been illegally dealing. These individuals can be trained and primed further for good work in the marketing and administration departments of this, or another 2019 GREEN Spark up company, utilizing their networking skills and love of people and culture. To give one example of turning a good human being from a criminal into a useful member of society. If Cannabis criminals became Cannabiks criminals overnight when the first LAWS were enacted then Cannabis Criminals can become Cannabis citizens overnight just a quickly. And in 2019 we may have half a billion less criminals around the world.


--Some figures, quotes and references to help flesh out the landscape of HA$H MORTGAGE SECURE TEAS.


"With government at all levels awash in debt, this is an insane waste of resources. If we regulated and taxed marijuana as we do beer, wine, and cigarettes, we could save tens of billions of dollars, better control marijuana's production and distribution, and cut off a huge source of funding to criminal gangs."--Rob Kampia, executive director of the Marijuana Policy Project in Washington, D.C.

GEAS and FUCKUP

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

SEPTEMBER 22, 2019

Humans have 23 years to go

Global Extinction Awareness System starts the countdown for Homo sapiens.

PALO ALTO, CA — Based on the results of a year-long supercomputer simulation, the Global Extinction Awareness System (GEAS) has reset the "survival horizon" for Homo sapiens - the human race - from "indefinite" to 23 years.

“The survival horizon identifies the point in time after which a threatened population is expected to experience a catastrophic collapse,” GEAS president Audrey Chen said. “It is the point from which a species is unlikely to recover. By identifying a survival horizon of 2042, GEAS has given human civilization a definite deadline for making substantive changes to planet and practices.”

According to Chen, the latest GEAS simulation harnessed over 70 petabytes of environmental, economic, and demographic data, and was cross-validated by ten different probabilistic models. The GEAS models revealed a potentially terminal combination of five so-called “super-threats”, which represent a collision of environmental, economic, and social risks. “Each super-threat on its own poses a serious challenge to the world's adaptive capacity,” said GEAS research director Hernandez Garcia. “Acting together, the five super-threats may irreversibly overwhelm our species’ ability to survive.”Garcia said, “Previous GEAS simulations with significantly less data and cross-validation correctly forecasted the most surprising species collapses of the past decade: Sciurus carolinenis and Sciurus vulgaris, for example, and Anatidae chen. So we have very good reason to believe that these simulation results, while shocking, do accurately represent the rapidly growing threats to the viability of the human species.”

GEAS notified the United Nations prior to making a public announcement. The spokesperson for United Nations Secretary General Vaira Vike-Freiberga released the following statement: "We are grateful for GEAS' work, and we treat their latest forecast with seriousness and profound gravity."

GEAS urges concerned citizens, families, corporations, institutions, and governments to talk to each other and begin making plans to deal with the super-threats.

Hagbard Celine's gigantic computer, FUCKUP-First Universal Cybernetic-Kinetic-Ultramicro-
Programmer- was basically a rather sophisticated form of the standard self-programming algorithmic logic machine of the time; the name was one of his whimsies. FUCKUP's real claim to uniqueness was a programmed stochastic process whereby it could "throw" an I Ching hexagram, reading' a random open circuit as a broken (yin) line and a random closed circuit as a full (yang) line until six such "lines" were round. Consulting its memory banks, where the whole tradition of 1 Ching interpretation was stored, and then cross-checking its current scannings of that day's political, economic, meteorological, astrological, astronomical, and technological eccentricities, it would provide a reading of the hexagram which, to Hagbard's mind, combined the best of the scientific and occult methods for spotting oncoming trends. On March 13, the stochastic pattern spontaneously generated Hexagram 23, "Breaking Apart." FUCKUP then interpreted:

This traditionally unlucky sign was cast by Atlantean scientist-priests shortly before the destruction of their continent and is generally connected with death by water. Other vibrations link it to earthquakes, tornadoes and similar disasters, and to sickness, decay, and morbidity as well. The first correlation is with the unbalance between technological acceleration and political retrogression, which has proceeded earth-wide at ever widening danger levels since 1914 and especially since 1964. The breaking apart is fundamentally the schizoid and schismatic mental fugue of lawyer-politicians attempting to administrate a worldwide technology whose mechanisms they lack the education to comprehend and whose gestalt trend they frustrate by breaking apart into obsolete Renaissance nation- states. World War III is probably imminent and, considering the advances in chemical biological warfare in conjunction with the sickness vibrations of Hexagram 23, the unleashing of plague or nerve gas or both is as probable as thermonuclear overkill. General prognosis: many megadeaths. There is some hope for avoidance of the emerging pattern with prompt action of correct nature. Probability of such avoidance is 0.17 ± 0.05. No blame.


"My ass, no blame," Hagbard raged; and rapidly reprogrammed FUCKUP to read off to him its condensed psychobiographies of the key figures in world politics and the key scientists in chemobiological warfare. --Robert Anton Wilson & Robert Shea, The Illuminatus Trilogy!

How was the Crazy Wisdom of Philip K. Dick class?

I had a joyful few weeks reading Philip K. Dick and also reading and writing with other people about Philip K. Dick, his books and inspired movies.

You can get much of the specific info about the course at the maybe logic academy, and if you're interested can follow your nose on the web as there are many brilliant blogs, web sites and essays about everythingPKD.

To conserve a bit of time and space, I'll just throw down my own condensed notes from the early part of the course when we were reading "The Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldritch" (TTSOPE)

"Aboard his ship Eldritch had-still has-a carefully maintained culture of a lichen very much resembling the Titanian lichen from which Can-D is derived. - PKD, TTSOPE, Pg. 17

Panspermia and other sosmo-spore-bio-matter theories seem to be getting more legitimate, more better researched and communicated in 2008. Plus we have new information about conditions for the growth of lichen on Titan in 2008.

Two faced feature-objects. Blogjects.

"Palmer Eldritch was too wild and dazzling a solo pro; he had accomplished miracles in getting autofac production started on the colony planets, but - as always he had gone too far, schemed too much. Consumer goods had piled up in unlikely places where no colonists existed to make use of them. Mountains of debris, they had become, - PKD, TTSOPE, Pg 13.


--Reflects on our current 2007 machine-human
consumer interface. The FREE market or "Genghis Khan" economy. Who eats who? The empire never ended.--


That Can-D," he said to miss Jurgens, "Is great stuff, and no wonder its banned, Its like religion; Can-D is the religion of the colonists." He chuckled. - PKD, TTSOPE Pg 24.

--Can-D® in this context seems to reflect the drug problem on planet earth.

Products, autofaq'd. If a faq'd up Disney-fied©" or "Dell-fied®" "Mc Coked--" and "Addi-Niked¿" resulting in a Dickian feeling that the environment surrounding you is engineered and broadcast by a kind of PKD Pre-fash consultancy agency, on most sophisticated "High Streets" a pharmaceutical cartel and maybe a Telecommunications giant robot too.

He recalled the day his L-P record collection had fused together in a lump, back around 04', due to momentary failure in the building's cooling network. - PKD, pg 8. TTSOPE

This "fusion" has happened to me too once
I was in a car when my LP's were left exposed to sunlight and they Became shaped like flower pots, wavy vinyl flowers pots, and when i
Tried to play them the sound was warped too.

Consciousness. Continuity of process.
Technological artefacts - and parameters of subjectivity.
Evereywhere without a hero?
Its their futures, not our's. At the same time.

PKD and his phalanx of charcters seem determined to drag us all with them into their future. I get the feeling they flow backwards too though.
PKD everyware.

"You precogs." remarkable. maybe there were alternate futures. "So you want me to order her in the future always to back you up?" Leo' - PKD, PKD, TTSOPE pg. 19.

Constructing a better future by ordering the robot gods,
blogjects, self-fabricating objects, universal nano-constructors to construct it, Or keep the ubiquitous tech-support system running the kind of reality reality you desire, or can imagine at the same time. What show do you want to tune into, what pharma corp, news media or hell?

PKD, Pound, Burroughs, Dali, Joyce and Bob, are all very precise and careful writers, masters, iconoclasts, super-geniuses! of the word sign symbol worlds. Reaching Beyond language.

A unique unique talent by which they can relay their messages from
Occulted places and rebound them back to us the reader, through utilizing: Multiple Points Of View, Epiphany, Ideogramic Method, Critical paranoia, Holographic prose.
Consciousness- continuity of process.

All these various languaging tools help us readers and co-creators to see and perceive better, more synergistically, If we can have a little patience and compassion for their messages lingering all around us. Let em' come down. At the same time.

I say:..


Read the work of Philip K. Dick in groups. Talk and tell tales, watch the PKD movies, Bladrunner and A Scanner Darkly and make comparisons. Maybe Smoke a joint, dance, sing and shout about it. Do a jig, spin and swirl around your bedroom or lounge-pod.



The spore-casting tools enhance the experience greatly too in 2019 as its always nice to hear a human voice.
