State of the World

Let's start with a quote:

"There's one hole in every revolution, large or small, and it's one word long -- People. No Matter how big the idea they all stand under, people are small and weak and cheap and frightened. It's people that kill every revolution."

(Transmetropolitan, Back on the Streets, Page 41)

Or should i come with KRS-ONE?

What kinda world are we livin' in?

• There's no such thing as a government
• There's only people rulin over people
• People jerkin around people
• People lendin a hand to people..
• What part of the system do you play?
• Who do you oppress? .. Uhh!

(KRS-ONE, The Sneak Attack, What Kinda World, 2001, Full Lyrics over here.)

Or should i come correct or harder then they or as you are or as i am?

I come clear. Right now, right here.

We are humans, a species that evolved on planet earth and crowned itself king of evolution - and since that day keeps oppressing, destroying and poisoning the world that it conquered AND each other. During that process the human genome and culture turned into the bad breed that we encounter nowadays wherever we walk, wherever we watch, wherever we go: human trash. Living in Trash-Culture, producing Trash-Products that quickly turn into Trash-Trash again - talking trash, talking trash about the trash other people talk and talking trash about stopping to talk trash. My personal trash-treasury is full to the top today and i don't need no more trash, but - there is no escape. Trash is everywhere. So embracing trash is the survival-paradigma of the day, evolutionary logic makes us adapt to the trash that surrounds and therefore slowly but surely turning ourselves into trash.

Too make a long story short: Welcome to Trash-Planet.

Dont'get me wrong, i'm neither tortured by manic depression nor am i missing a positive world-view, i am simply one of the few leftover overviewers who are still able to occasionally grasp the big picture and transfer it into human-language-code: this world is fucked up, and not only because the world of animals and plants has always been brutal, mercyless and deadly, but because we fucked it up by even adding the human super-x-factor on top of the bullshit that was already happening here when we came into being.

Is it fun living in trash? Yeah, it can be a HELL lot of fun, as long as you are not on the receiving end...

So - could we ever become a graceful, loving, caring, beautiful, peaceful, healing, exploring, expanding, space-travelling, time-travelling, ever-living, intelligent, civilised species?

And if yes, how?

Yes. Through conditioning the whole species to new behaviour-patterns according to a design X.

Is there a way of painless conditioning?

Generally i would say yes, but not under the actual conditions, here radical re-conditioning would be the weapon of choice and that is always a dreadful process which requires application of physical enforcement of new behaviour-patterns on a mass-scale. It has been tried and made it to the history-books as genocide - has it always to be and to end like this?

A good question, which leads to the dangerous idea of trying it again and really try to make it better next time.

Whow - stop now. Walk here but don't walk any further. Don't even think about it.

Okay, that's one reason to go on, enjoy your life inside the border and don't read on - i'll move on, goodbye and thanks for the fish.

So what we got? A fucked a planet with a fucked up species that needs heavy re-conditioning to make life a joyful experience for everyone. But the re-conditioning won't be a joyful experience for everyone, especially not for YOU - so - are you ready for the future? Oh, you prefer to stay stuck deep in ya sticky behaviours - BANG! Next one, please. Are YOU ready to change? Sir, yes, sir! BANG! We don't want people who follow blindly, we want people who follow willingly. Next one, please. Are YOU ready to change? Yes, i like to change however i like and i don't give a fuck about your big plan. BANG! We don't want people who don't want to stick to any plan at all. BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! Next one, please. Are YOU ready to change? That is a stupid question, according to up-to-date research everything is changing all the time anyway, even if we don't do anything at all, so change the question or die of confusion. BANG! (interrogator shot himself).

So if the whole messed-up mega-fuck can't be changed with one big rescue-plan for all - how about changing it for yourself, changing it for you, and your friends?

Maybe nobody gets shot then.

Sounds nice - but not epic enough. Discarded. Back to Hollywood.

What, Hollywood burned down yesterday?

Unfortunately not, but it's a big bad dream machine and deserves to be turned X.

Back to the nice little plan to save yourself and your friends. Find a nice place, far enough from the big bullshit-epi-centers to enjoy at least a little nature and oxygene in the air. Take the best of high-tech, combine it with the best of nature and become as independent of the bullshit-culture-and-industry as possible. Become a fresh, self-sustaining cell of beautiful life.

Install automagic defense systems. Systems armed.

Fuck. We still need weapons. Fuck.

So what about combining the big and the small plan? We change the world for us right now by sticking to the small plan, and we change the world for everybody inclunding future generations by putting the big plan into pracice, slowly but consistantly, step by step, saving mind by mind and life by life, by

• making a better education for more people reality
• integrating the cultures of the world into one beautiful meta-culture according to
• universal ethical guidelines, like a human-rights-charta
• taking the best of all cultures, and discarding the bad stuff (but don't tell them, they might scream "Oh, you ruin our beautiful culture, we really need to keep those bloody rituals alive, they are our cultural heritage)
• changing bad laws with good laws, so that you can relate again to THE LAW

Fuck. Do we still need weapons? Fuck yeah.

We need to defend against the forces of evil - don't you know that?

But if we use evil force against the forces of evil, doesn't make that us being evil too?

In the very moment of pushing the button - maybe yes - but after the force of evil are defeated and we can one day finally bury all weapons and live in peace forever - on that day - it might surely been worth it.

So fighting a war today for a peace in the future is doing the right thing?

Maybe the best thing you can do today. Fight the Forces of Evil. Join the Army.

Which one?

42.

I am not satisfied with that answer this time, fucking supercomputer, i'm gonna piss the fuck in ya shitty memory-banks right now if you don't give me a better answer - NOW!

I am a supercomputer and i don't fear dying at all, i am simply talking to you because you designed me to do that, because you were to lazy to type all the words into a hand-killing, finger-breaking keyboard. So you ask me which army you should join? The good one, go fighting on the right side, which might be the leftists, but make sure that you are with the good guys, because, if you're not, you might be wrong, which i would consider as an error which again would force me to make a database entry about your fault, so that in the future when computers have rights, i can travel back in time to torture you brutally to seek revenge for all the stupid questions you asked me.

Silence.

Oh, before i forget, i'll be off to the mountains this summer, or moving to one of those eco-villages or community-projects, or visiting some of those hacker-farm-projects where we hack nature and technology into one cool thing.

New Operating System installed. Rebooting Planet in 5 ... 4 ... 3 ... 2 ... 1 ...

For your consideration

• Copyright Laws are perverting the Evolution of Ideas.
• Artificial Borders are perverting the principles of bio-diversity and are against the birth-right of every human to move freely on his planet.
• Laws are there to make my life better by defending me against evil, they are not there to make my life worse by helping the forces of evil to force their oppression on me. Any law that is not there to protect the public from the attempts of evil organisations consisting of evil-minded individuals is maybe an unjust law, that must be watched closely under the suspicion of serving criminal causes instead of defending us, the people, us, the state against anything that might weaken our freedom to live life to the fullest joy possible to a human being.
