man vs. machine/woman/man...

de ce-avem nevoie pt a supravietui in jungla urbana: mobil, computer (laptop de preferinta), autoturism, mijloace de transport in comun, avion, tren, masina de spalat/vase, masina de cafea, frigider, aragaz, ipod, televizor, cd/dvd, amplificator, radio/tuner, receptor satelit, boxe, (video)interfon, microfon, casti, bancomat, imprimanta, scanner, telecomanda universala, aparat foto, camera video, pasaport biometric, carduri magnetice sau electronice, aparat de ras, aparat de epilat, uscator de par, mixer de bucatarie etc. nu de alta da ma sperii ca sint mai multe decit credeam.

unde mai pui toate masinile industriale care ne dau de mincare si un loc de munca...

sintem dara inlantuiti de masini? nu stiu ce sa zic, insa citeodata ma simt ca intr-un ippon.

pe de alta parte cred ca scenariile sf cu masinile viitorului care preiau controlul asupra oamenilor depind si de dorinta acestora, vorba lui La Boetie. putem continua sa implementam masinile prin creierul capitalist al societatii si sa ne lasam masochist la mina lui terminator; sau putem renunta a ne strivi aproapele si-atunci masinile viitorului recent vor fi si ele mai de-ale noastre...

A church for those who pray to no Lord

How should a basilikè (Greek for "church") for the people who do not submit themselves, their souls or their lives to no Lord look like? A basilikè for those who don't believe in any God, or for those who don't care if there is a God, or for those who think that there may be a God, but don't plan to submit to him/her (or Him/Her)... How do you think the place should look like, I mean architecturally, how should the members gather, when, what should they do as members, should they have a Bible, any priest, icons? Should they teach something? What? How? Should they be financed by the State, like any other basilikè? * I prefer basilikè to "church", because the first had no religious meaning at its origin (it meant "royal room")

First Constitutional Principles

There are two things to be done if we want a minimal community, i.e. to finally end the war of all against all: 1) Any person should be given a house at the legal age of 18. This should not depend on other conditions, like work, inheritance, personal characteristics etc. Each citizen should receive the house from her/his own national administration. All the particular cases are to be discussed, bearing in mind the principle itself; 2) The "absolute tax" should be introduced, i.e. a monthly or annual tax to reduce the individual income to a certain maximum level, fixed every year by the local governments (Ex: Sweden decides that in 2008 nobody can earn more than 5000 € / month - average or absolute); Any comments are more than welcome.

efectul calmant al statisticilor

atunci cind citesti o statistica ce repertoriaza un evantai larg pe o tema data, extremele se estompeaza. cel care apartine unei extreme devine membru al unei familii, strabatute si unite de un criteriu comun – sociabilitatea, toleranta, inteligenta, frumusetea etc. gestul repertorierii este el insusi un element precis al unei statistici: aceea a perfectei neutralitati, nu neutralitate a elementului de mijloc, ci firul formal care uneste toate statisticile posibile intr-o practica unitara, din speta enciclopediei chinezesti. Un soi de toleranta absoluta,ce se identifica la limita cu indiferenta absoluta, si deci cu lipsa asumata a nevoii de cunoastere, de transgresare a cochiliei. Linistea pe care ti-o da o statistica este aceea a acceptarii tale ca sociopat, pedofil, geniu al matematicii sau detinator al recordului mondial la sarituri in lungime in marea familie a enciclopediei umane si umanistice universale. Invatacei in ale medicinei, astronauticii, filozofiei, biroticii si manageme...
