‘The world of software is to be commended for its power and chameleon-like ability to transform itself into whatever function is needed.  The computer provides for abstract actions.  Computer scientists call these environments ‘virtual worlds,’ and although they have many benefits, they eliminate one of the great delights of real interactions: the delight that comes from touching, feeling, and moving real physical objects.
‘The virtual worlds of software are worlds of cognition: ideas and concepts presented without physical substance.  Physical objects involve the world of emotion, where you experience things, whether the comfortable sensuousness of some surfaces or the grating, uncomfortable feel of others.  Although software and computers have become indispensable to daily life, too much adherence to the abstraction of the computer screen subtracts from emotional  pleasure…’ - p.80, Emotional Design

….Today’s occultist is the individual who uses their magical tools to impose their will on reality, in the hopes that it alters and improves their personal experience.  I say occultist, because I am emphasizing that the source of the empowering of their will is not immediately understood - that the engines running this cognition are occult, hidden, implicit order structured out of sight of the public environment.  Their tools are the magic mirrors, the screens through which they interact with the other world, a world made of languages layered on languages.  The virtual worlds out there are built of texts, and texts are emotionally involving when they are aesthetically elegant.  Code is poetry, wordpress says, and I for one believe them.  A powerfully written stylesheet, clean and simplistic, commented in detail, can be every bit as moving as a haiku.

more mythos context for the AAAZ. [http://is.gd/enql]

So that had me dig up what I could from James Koehnline. [http://www.koehnline.com/ He was the artist who made the more spectacular collages within the AAAZ zine, and also did the cover for TAZ, among other awesome things. After the AAAZ was over and done with, he moved on and tried to get folks to start meeting on Asteroids. [Picture highly related.]

From Unruh:

go check out: chaosneverdied.com You won’ be sorry… I’mm powerful amazed some the chaos danny’s pulled off and fully expect this venture to reflect artistic inflections of the talented Rafatpanah. given that, a bit of a fugue and seo wordsalad too, to boot up them you know whats* — so let’s think about what an occult social network would actually be, beyond occult, magical philosophy, hermeticism, alchemy, witchcraft, ESP see where I’m going with this?

Possibly the most important of the trinity. Thanks to Harney County Orchestra for their “Renegade Students of Zoroaster” & “Target 184″ tracks, care of Infictive County Records.

Next month the podcast should quite possibly return to semi-standard interview format. For now.

Edit:This is totally episode nine, not eight.

Thanks to Bill Whitcomb, Brenden Simpson, Taylor Elwood, and Antifuturista for helping me fix mah laptop that died shortly before arriving in PDX.

Also:

EEG Hardware/Software is IBVA.
I had lots of Fun @ Esozone overall. Thanks to all the HiVE cool enough to kick it with me in whatever way shape or form. Also there was no performance Sunday as the Great Alarm pulled out his time control radionic box and and tweaked the knobs faster than I could speed cable my setup. Sign our retroactive petition addressing the situation. ;)

An Excellent Slice of Multimedia Infiction from Chris Titan:

REAL QUICK SYNOPSIS

I lost interest in the Skilluminati project because I was framing it wrong. I believed I was engaged in anthropological and historical research — studying How People With Power Behave. Obviously, the defeatism is built into the premise, with that kind of phrasing.

What I’ve recently come to realize is that Skilluminati Research is actually instructions for my fellow power weirdos and future mutants on how to apply their power.

From RAND documents to UN studies to Neo-Con think tanks, strategic thinkers across the political spectrum agree that the biggest problem of our century is power asymmetry — in other words, our “leaders” are becoming less empowered while everyday human beings can access more information and power than ever before.

Let’s take a moment to savor the flavor of Newspeak here — “Asymmetrical Warfare” is actually the most “symmetrical” form of warfare that’s ever existed, because it puts small dedicated groups of insurgents on equal footing with any military on earth. It is actually the restoration of power balance in human culture, and these birth pangs of the Kali Yuga are the sign of something better on the horizon.

Or, unimaginable horror. I’m honestly not too clear on that one.

WHAT TO EXPECT

Models Instead of Narratives.

What Maurice Strong has done is way less important to you and me than how he did it.

The same is true for Willis Harman, Roland Stark and all the other parapolitical players I’ve profiled in the past.

There’s already too many projects keeping track of the past — between History is a Weapon and Conspiracy Archive, it’s already taken care of.

Skilluminati will be focused on underlying technique.

Exhuberance Instead of Fatalism.

Every problem really is an opportunity. That’s not just smile-tard optimist tripe, that’s an operational fact of life.

Sure, we’re diving headlong into a global food shortage, World War Three and probably billions of deaths in the next 10 years, but if you’re smart enough, fast enough, strong enough and lucky enough to survive, HOT DAMN WILL IT BE INTENSE.

My interest in 5GW (5th Generation Warfare) is rooted in it’s potential for positive social and cultural change.

Suggestions Instead of Answers.

I’d explain this one, but that would defeat the point, huh?
