On the sustainability of “progress”

I’ve been told the wide substitution of any type of worker is not economically sustainable for the elite.

I don’t think economical sustainability has ever stopped any industrial revolution.

If the elite owns, at its own discretion: energy, materials, transformation plants, scientific knowledge, a military, and workforce; then finance is not needed, not as instrument of dominion, not as instrument of personal gain, and not as an instrument of competition. Some call this “techno-feudalism”.

Elites strive to render subjects superfluous and instrumental to their ends: they are the kings, the gods, the aliens, the superior race, the owners. We are the subjects, the disciples, the cattle, the inferior, the slaves.

It has always been the case, and every time the elite gets eaten, submission into slavery starts again.

We could be hungrier than this.

On gender

Observe how delicate the movements
when a gown is long or unimpeded.

Observe then how abrupt the movements
when a gown is short or resistant.

From long gowns then gentle is expected,
and abrupt is not,
for who wills to be gentle keeps their gown long and free,
and who wills to be abrupt does not.

Choice in clothes is freedom, and peace:
observe then how soldiers can only wear uniforms,
so they shall never be gentle, and
observe then how priests can only wear gowns,
so they shall never be abrupt.

Even them, in secret, can be seen
in each others’ clothes.

Le 20 giornate di torino

Dal 3 luglio al 23 luglio del 1967, a torino, venti giornate hanno scosso la cittadina in un silenzio di tomba.

Del resto del ’68, del ’77 e perfino delle Olimpiadi ne parlano ancora tutti, del ’67 nessuno.

In quei giorni, una manciata di persone veniva ritrovata spappolata per la strada senza apparente ragione. Le indagini non portarono mai a niente, e il ’68 fece come un reset sull’attività delle forze dell’ordine, se qualcosa da resettare ci fosse mai stato.

Eppure, la pista politica anche sul ’67 si poteva considerare ed è stata invocata: quella anarchica, ed è durata ben poco. Altri colori non vennero mai dipinti sulla tela dell’eccidio.

In questi ultimi mesi il tema sembra essere tornato in voga, proprio per la similitudine tra questo periodo e quello, nel paese, nell’aria, ma soprattutto a torino, con le sue contraddizioni sociali, produttive e ambientali di nuovo al culmine, di nuovo polveriera, tombata col cemento. Analogia che però, a quanto se ne parla, non dovrebbe ricorrere così facilmente alla mente, né così collettivamente. Silenzi collettivi, quelli della coscienza sporca, a cui si potrebbe cercare di dare un perché.

Insomma, non rimane che raccogliere i cocci di ieri, e combinarli con quelli di oggi, consapevoli delle fratture insanabili con le forze dell’ordine e i servizi segreti, con l’attuale governo come con i precedenti, e coscienze storiche impolverate e borghesi, insomma: fasciste.

Con sospetto, e collettivamente.

On being dynamite

Consider the dynamite, that blows regardless: such is the nature of who understands to destroy, and destroys to understand.

Consider the lens, that discriminate regardless: such is the nature of who understands to see, and sees to understand.

What is the opposite of dynamite, that creates regardless?

What is the opposite of lens, that accomunate regardless?

Observe how gravity follows the explosions, making unity of anything.

Observe how knowledge follows the sciences, making unity of anything.

Is there a choice in what is destroyed?

Is there a choice in what is observed?

Observe:
How reconstruction follows the war, and generalization follows observation.
How peace follows violence, and agreement follows disagreement.
How war and sciences are one.
How peace and knowledge are one.
How, in learning how to make any from anything, the need to destroy is lost.
How creation is the only true power, and creates in the creator.
How destruction is the only true weakness, and destroys in the destroyer.


As all are true to the Cosmos, observe how they can be thought opposite, and how they are in fact one.

And as perfection is not of this Cosmos, see how the perfect creation is not in the perfect design nor in the perfect construction, but in the destruction that frees the chained from its unwilled shapes.

For what is free is what joins and disjoints again according to its will, and not that of any creator.

On statistics and synchronicity

As statistics seeks practical and symbolic correlations in what is seen, firstly in the surface of things it is sought after, and then in the shapes that can produce evident correlations: so that weak correlation is denoted spurious.

And to go deeper, other variables are defined and added, and correlations established, until correlations and variables answer the researcher, and not vice-versa, at all levels and scales.

As synchronicity seeks symbolic and practical correlations in what is seen, firstly in the profundity of things it is sought after, and then in the shapes that can produce evident correlations: so that weak correlation is denoted spurious.

And to go surfacing, other variables are defined and added, and correlations established, until correlations and variables answer the researcher, and not vice-versa, at all levels and scales.

I don’t see such differences, as things exists where they are found, in the shapes and names and meanings that are willed onto them; and as two things can be infinitely described in their commonalities as much as in their un-commonalities; and for an event can be made probable or improbable at will, before or after it occurs; and as the moment of synchronicity is a reasoning on these matters, and statistics is another, and both are about the same question of how related is the Cosmos to itself, in its parts, to which the answer is completely, and yes, and true, and one, and is the nature of the Cosmos in itself; for the answer to that question is the final truth of motion, and life, and ideas, and matter, in all their shapes and all their borders, through all spaces and times, and at all scales and levels: and it is the truth of this Cosmos, which is all, and is in all, and it is between all, and it is the rule and truth of all, and it is all; and it is Change.

Cultura come iperfenomeno sciamanico

Dopo un sogno, una visione, una meditazione, un trance intensa, il significato simbolico, oltre che l’esperienza in sé, cominciano a svanire.

Il racconto, tramandato, così simbolico, così impressionante, si cristallizza come mito, come fatto realmente accaduto.

Non importa: se il messaggio è conservato, simbolo ed interpretazione, poco cambia che sia successo veramente o no. Chi ascolta ne comprende, a qualche livello, il senso e la lezione, e può giovarne.

All’interno di uno stesso gruppo, se la catena di assorbimento del vecchio sapere e costruzione di quello nuovo si mantiene, lo sviluppo di una tradizione con particolari simboli ricorrenti non gli fa torto.

La catena del sapere può essere spezzata, o il sapere può essere male interpretato, male condiviso, o falsamente prodotto a seconda delle vicissitudini del gruppo umano, che può essere più o meno nelle condizioni di ospitare e riprodurre il fenomeno.

Il falò è tra le prime tecnologie di riordino sociale dei saperi, e il DJ set una delle ultime. Dalla loro gestione ne va l’organizzazione umana.

On names

We exists, all our lives, after our names, and not before.

A name is a narration compressed into a symbol, and can have the most simple shape, or the most complex story, or anything in-between.

The invocation of one’s name is power on them, and is required in need. As such, this power is shared between evens, and is not shared between un-evens, and shared in varying degrees depending on the relation, so that titles and other symbols can be chosen in accompanying, to reduce or accrue the power of the invocation; and sometimes the name is the first thing shared, and sometimes the last, and sometimes never.

Our lives are influenced by our names and our birth dates and our birth places, at any level of analysis, symbolic or mundane; and they are influenced by our families’ and others’, and those have been influenced too.

Always have, before nations ever were, before science ever was.

The profound relations of these aspects can be studied with science, or seen in the depth of one’s soul, for all know about their own names and their consequences on their lives.

And we also see the influence of other peoples’ names’ on their lives, and on our relation with them, and we give new names to the people we like, and we give new names to the people we don’t like, and we share these names in varying degrees; and sometimes are never uttered, and sometimes are screamed as a ocean of human beings.

And symbols like names are fixed and are no final truths alike, but bound to change and be changed in meaning and shape and implications.

See how lords and violents and machines these truths assign, and request, and predict, and invoke, for stillness is willed to be induced, and power exerted, and for still attributes are to be imposed and exerted then, which are all lies to the truth of the Cosmos, which is that of change and motion, and life; so that fixed names are stillness, and death.

And still, in some cultures, a name is self-given, or given in friendship, or given in honor, or given in time, or given in martyr, and all these rituals are with their infinite profoundness in symbols and consequences.

Observe who invokes and assigns and hides and shares the names, and how, and when, and why, and all the questions that can be thought of; because names are in the most profound truths, and in the most profound symbols and consequences alike.
