Wow, went into Oz for a moment.
Through the Looking Glass.
Something Wicked this Way Comes.
Ape and Essence, primitive communication controlled
by private sources of supply and demand.
Less is More,
more control, stabilizing the system,
and keeping the old order.
Academia is this. Less thinking, more tasking, doing,
and analyzing of this doing as compared to the last batch
and their success rates within the profession.
I am a student, yet I am considered trouble and angst
ridden and uncooperative in this socialist agenda of
"we know what's right." only because I think I know
how to experience the outside, not through old textbooks,
but through architectural senses. And, I am locked out
of the system because there exists no ambilical cord
between me and them, and thus it is entirely up to me
to enlighten them to "the facts of what is" and then to
do so in such a way as to make them feel smarter, and
in best Socratic fashion, they tell me what is wrong
with my thinking, and I refrain from the correction.
The ideas previously stated are dangerous ideas, this
architecture of electricity, the architecture of the U.N.
but they are equally as capable of salvaging a relationship
between the inevitable conflict between human and technology.
If a local neighborhood could realize, through architecture,
that the UN New World Information and Communication Order,
would, primarily, be coming down the wires on those wooden
poles, and that these poles are the presence of this ordering,
then maybe these poles take on some meaning in the role of
the economics, politics, and society in which they exist.
That now is global, these poles, and they are evidence of the
old order and the order coming-to-pass, as Heidegger would say,
where there will no longer be an ability to address this
question of "what is" because everything that is "what is"
will be "what was" and in that way, this same pole could be
realized 100 years in the future, as evidence of the
continuation of antiquity in architecture, the continuation
of classical thinking, with the exception that the science
and technology were soley the architect, and no longer humans.
At this point, the communication we have here, after the
coming-to-pass may not be as free as today, and today there
is only a possibility that the revealing of this limiting
or Enframing of the past, academic thinking included, can
allow a better foundation on which to build in the present,
somehow saving the standing-reserve (that which could come
down hard on humans, genomene, biotech, nwo) and putting it
in a human context once again, because it has gone unchecked
for so long, and does not feel it necessary to check itself
because in many ways it is all-powerful, the non-subject.
