The naked human form, uncovered and rediscovered; or, "er, your mummy and daddy bits are showing"


Too many of the world's cultures have a flaw, this flaw is a complex web of where actual reality meets a deformed and deforming memetic code of prohibition, perversion of possible natural feelings, and where art and commerce display versions of an unbalanced human vanity and human nature.

When I was a young child I got in trouble for hiding in my room a magazine of naked women posing sexually, this 'pouring of hot coals upon my head' about something sexual that made me feel - if not good - quite different enough to be some kind of a pleasure, making me feel some kind of immature visual-chemical response, the rebuke and trouble I got in to for this led to a confusion that only ended in my late 20's/early 30's, and to be honest still has legacy feeling even today.

Why does so much of our culture have such a Vaudevillian, "oh naughty naughty", "not now Vicar" view of of the nude, sexuality and the certain natural processes; there are the stories of the so called 'sky/star lords' or 'gods', a higher power who were prohibitive to perhaps then uncontrolled sexual urges and acts.

Why must the naked human form have this baggage of prohibition and restrictivness, why should parts of the body which all have their very necessary biological functions and processes to undertake be distorted into empty memes of a virtual sensual decree; were primitive humans so much engaged in sexual activity it was holding back certain civilisation's progress? Were the gods burning with envy at an unashamed sexual state?

With all thier naked street life, statuary, and sports, were the ancient Greeks existing in a permanent ambient state of arousal? What was their web of reaction to the nude in person and in art? Is arousal inheirant with nudity or is it a learnt memetic detour from who knows what feelings? To a baby's clean slate mind, being nude quickly becomes neurally attached to feeding, toilet/bathing, and the intimate warmpth of close human contact, in what order of want exactly?

What pressures our clothed versus unclothed schisms creates? For the paler skinned amoungst us, whom many live in a climate unsuited to thier skins protective properties, nudity is limited and when non limited, much skin damage and ill-health results.

The child nude in life and art, really is currently a controversial nuisance (circa 2011); with their minimalist sexuality, though not without some connections to an adult's sexuality, the juven form is lovely in it's gender quiteness and usually unblemished petitness; though some may feel innapropriate desires due to some legacy of misuse and untruth in regard to sexual connection of the juven form to the mature form, neurally and of memory, and of meme. Discard the abuse and superficiality in our sexual connectivity of mind and the outside. Not to be lessening to children, they do have a neural structuring process taking place, and all care must be taken in regards to a childs coming to know mature reproductive poses and states, that they be taken seriously and non confused with some of the adult world's more baser and/or paraphilliac gratifications. Keep children away as much as possible from all that is illegal, exploitative, and unfair in regards to sexuality, but be ready to define and clear up such matters if they should arise.

There is a natural and just sexuality in appreciation of the juven and the mature ripe nude as it is in art and life, it is an appreciation of truth rather than an appreciation of such things as lust and lust's layers of psychic debris accumulated over time in a decadent and corrupting visually abusive culture. I choose a rational logical sexual truth over base desireous heat any day, though I cannot deny the chemicals realised and felt when the nude presents itself, is this a fusion of infant feelings with more mature learnings, is it meme over real feelings? I pray for a rational subdueing of base desire, but is it possible in my case, or in any case?

We have constructed over a long period of interelated time a problem of unhealthy sexual thought and acts, or are we just tilting at windmills; is this percieved problem just an illusion, do we have the power to change.

Like with Cannabis, the nude has yet to reach a universal consensus on it's values and effects; what baggage we travel with and is revealed with regard to the nude and for that matter with Cannabis. Oh how the unconscious writhes and trembles with these matters, and much fruit can be gathered.

What strange and awful memes can exist with nude photography (circa 2011), with the photography of the child nude being the most controversial of all? For me the child nude is a somewhat relaxing experience, is this due to a minimal sexuality on the part of the subject posing, and my unconscious memories of being such an age? Or is it of a more dark azure water where I feel non threatened by the subject that I gaze upon, a perception of their lack of power and opinion, their percieved  lack of sexual tensions? Where there is a diminished sexuality in the subject and the viewers experience, a lessening of sexual tensions occurs, a light-mindedness that itself in it's relief one may find some kind of arousal? The child nude in life and art is a tad too touchy for some, let us be patient yet strong in our clearing up of such areas of human do.

I think for me viewing the nude will always be a pleasure and a pain due to the lack of both a external and internal consensus, the lack of a pure meme for the viewers and producers of nude art and our thinking of such.

My mind reels with possible questions and possible answers on this subject, I think the problem is that there are whole lot of warped thinking people out there in regards to nudity; and I don't blame clothes either as some suggest, clothes protect our bodies from the environment, which some very much need. If the situation arises where I encounter someone whom I think is distorted about sexuality and nudity, I will simply say, "There is nothing wrong with being interested in sex and nudity, just don't become obsessed or too distracted by them", well just what do you think about that?

When next confronted by the nude in art, or in advertising, or in life, I will ask myself and maybe speak allowed aswell, "Just what am I to think and feel about this?" Let not the outside world taint or deform in any pathological way, your relationship to sexuality; and as for all these things, sexuality and the nude in life and art, patience and study will benefit a more healthy informed state of pleasure and appreciation in these realms of natural unclothed endeavour.

I've got it, i'm into clinical unerotic nude art??? Right i'm off to sketch and photograph myself naked!




Branding tragedy: 9-11/12-9, cultural identity, politics and revenge

It's been nearly ten years since New Zealand media broadcast the planes hitting the New York city World trade center towers on the morning of September the 12th, 2001. I arrived late for work that day, having left my VCR to record TV3 on long play.

Governmental and media superficial ape-mind pre-planned for reactionism thinking kicks in immediately; Peter Jennings of U.S.A.'s ABC News seems to be the only reporter to keep his head and reminds viewers that until all the facts come in, stay calm, and to non start blaming.

Over the next months and years there is little expressed by governmental representatives or the so called
mainstream media about the actual and longterm causes and effects of the now branded "9-11 attacks". One is left with flashed repeated reports of "Muslim fundamentalists" hatred for the so called West, the U.S.A. and their "values", all ill-defined sound bites by government and corporate media.

How can we partake in or accept warfare when the people involved are only guilty of having been born in thier own idealogue spouting culture; in essence what capricious fate is involved where George W. Bush is born in his psychotic nation's culture, and a Teleban fighter is born in his equally deformed culture, and they are left to react in their streams of events, blindly led by the religiously confused, the sophist yet blind governmental bodies, their representatives, and other institutions, the military industrial complex, identities of rented souls, resources games, and unclean divisive corporations.

So raise your manipulated and manipulating flags you worship, die and watch brothers killing sisters, killing
brothers, killing children, be victim to avenging mind warped reactionary vessals of tribal legacy nationalistic
sophist religio-political cultures, experience soul death from misleading and mislead short sighted media
fantasies.

Some were particularly focused on letting everyone know that 9-11 changed everything, over and over again this was expressed, in the media, at political and other gatherings, in the U.S.A. congress, this was expressed over and over again, 9-11 had changed everything, everything's changed. Nothing changed, those with designs to kill people for various reasons, both by various governments decree or the rasping cry of so called terrorists, people and our various instituions had many plans to kill and destroy before 9-11, 9-11 is only just another example in a long chasmic line of humankinds psychotic endevours towards each other, OH RELIGIOUS CONFUSIONS, OH CULTURE INVASIONS, OH NATIONALISTIC GOVERNMENTALLY SANCTIONED MURDERS AND DESTRUCTION OF PROPERTY AND THE REVENGE OF THOSE MURDERS AND DESTRUCTION, OH DEMOCRACY WITH UNELECTED POLITICIANS SCREAMING DIVISION AND DEATH, OH MANIPULATED AND MANIPULATING MEDIA, OH PSYCHOTIC STATES OF AMERICA INTERFERRING ALL OVER THE WORLD, OH ISRAEL'S DEFORMED AND POISONED HEART.

Die, by your own democratically induced apathy and herdedness, die by your meritocracy/mimicocracy failures; die by the ignorant blindly consuming breeders and councilors who blindly organised and are still organising  the population bodies, who all are under the illusion they are separate and removed from the planets ecosytem nature, though that removal and eventual mastery could be our destiny.

And what of the blue cone-headed flat faced almond eyed beings, the angel/aliens, what of their plans, are they relevant to planet Earth's cultural dilemmas?

Like the so called 'war on terror', just where is all this memetic action and technology taking us?

Depression is a myth!

Depression is a myth, sold to us by a confused society wishing to sell more pharmaceutical products.

A recent newspaper article regarding teenagers experiencing depression (Dominion post, A5, June 2nd, 2011), is another example of how our society becomes pathologically deformed by authorities such as newspapers and their agencies printing ignorant cascaded memes, such as 'depression' in humans; the truth is that humans generally experience frustration (such as 'come downs') and oppression, and not depression, which should be left alone as the geography/meteorological term it is. If there are diminished/lacking bodily chemical issues to the term 'depression', let it be known as that, i.e. 'diminished/lacking bodily chemicals'.

Overcoming "Pedophilia"

I used to think I was - what they call - a pedophile. The truth was though that I had been introduced to strong sexual situations at a very young age, encouraged to have sexual encounters with other people older, younger, and of the same age as me. With the child's capacity to block out such occurances, I moved on, but it was my unconscious that these sexual events lived on, waiting until I was in my late teens and in my twenties to arise as what were pathological thoughts that I felt I had to repress and feel confused about. As the memories were non clear, they only surfaced sometimes, when a news report on child sex abuse was on, or of the controversy that surrounds pedophilia was made manifest in the media and by my contempories and fellow travellers. I did non know how to take control of my mind due to the way I was treated by the - confused themselves - adults I had dealings with as a child, dealings of a sexual nature. Though a child can find sexuality relevant, it is a super-ficial, undeveloped sexuality that has no place in the life of a child, nor in legacy forms as an adult.

It was while I was living on my own, on a benefit, due to having left several workplaces because of unclear yet acute flashbacks, that I was able to explore my feelings and mental conditioning that I had undergone as a child; through meditation and prayer, from what i had learned from studying several of the world's religions, I was able to withstand the re-emergence of my memories from child-hood of sexual misadventure, both by myself and by others. And after a few years of intense searching and growth, I was finally able to enter the clear light of truth about what had happened to me, I was whole, I felt re-born.

So I realised that I was non a pedophile, I just had unclear memories of sexual situations involving children, I felt so good and clean with this revelation, a heavy burdan was lifted, even my senses seemed stronger after years of repression and hurt, I existed in the clear light that the cosmos always wanted to me live in.

Now when I see children naked or near naked, or involved in mature matters, I look at them with an honest relevant knowledge of their mental and physical gender issues, and that I as a 'grown-up', am here to protect and guide, and non find any base pleasures in a growing natural sexuality.

So next time you hear or know about someone being accused of being a pedophile, know that they might be in a world of intense darkness and confusion, of possible hurt and behavioural dislocation due to their having an unconscious poisoned by an overly sexualised media, and a sometimes sexually confused society.

Concerns of a post colonial period European towards the Austronesian factor



Note on following text:  I awoke a-troubled, and I wrote this. I mean no harm by these words; I just needed to jolt my brain a little bit out of "political correctness" and a perhaps ignorant status quo. The following text is a thought experiment, a mechanism to test the waters of our beautiful - old but new - world that we all now live in (2011).

"The past is the womb of today, but also it's grave."


1.

The so called 'Māori' non longer exist, only in history and as legacy do they remain.

There is certainly a legacy from the past of the Austro-Polynesian people who some and then virtually all came to be known as 'Māori', but today for people to call themselves 'Maori' is an ersatz, reactionary, opportunistic, and ignorant thing to do.

'Māori' is an obsolete term; a term needing a new context and possibly a prefix to stay alive with any real truth and relevance. Alive today we have legacies of aspects and notions as shadow of the wonderful and primitive and oh so beautiful Austro-Polynesian culture who inhabited Aotearoa New Zealand before the wider world came.

A vast array of Austro-Polynesian memetic structures are no longer relevant; the term 'Māori' was needed when the wider world started to have conjunctions in and on this land, but in the twentieth century this title - in truth - faded to relic, a relic that history should remember as vitally refreshing to world culture, and the word 'Māori' something so linguistically calculated, much more than any modern day marketing company could ever hope to achieve.

The world needed the word 'Māori' then, when the wider world came to these islands. The wider world that now has genetically and culturally assimilated with the Austro-polynesian people.

As 'Māori' means natural or ordinary (common, generic?), and was used in conjunction with 'Tangata', as in 'Tangata Māori', 'the natural people'. The term is completely irrelevant to the modern Aotearoa New Zealand reality, where are our new titles, to define us today?

Being somewhere only 800 years and coveting a come from place, a homeland called 'Hawaiiki', is non what makes an indigenous people?

People are hanging on to old dusty memes that are just not alive today, this causes, confusion, distrust, ill-health, and a societal pathology that does non seem to be getting better any-time soon, and could almost be regarded as a sub-human condition.

New memetic linguistic structures are needed now. Today 'Māori' legacy is so beautiful and vital to this country called Aotearoa New Zealand; so we need new words to give us clear light of the new world situation, in today's reality.

New words for our new world could be such as, Euronesian, Globalnesian, Uninesian, Extranesian, Ultranesian, Ultra Māori, Extra Māori, Exo-Māori, Neo Māori?


2.

We live in a transient, complex, and inter-connected world.

The self hating ignorant meme regurgitation's that the glasses wearing Pakeha ancestry denying Hone Harawira espoused/es is a sign of a great unsoundness in his logical discourse, to follow through with his thinking the man will end up in a hut eating rats, punga, and the occasional trespasser, as-well as having increasingly genetically disintegrating offspring/descendants. He needs to make peace with his Pakeha world.

When the wider world came to the Austro-Polynesian people, the wider world did non try to take away their culture, language, mana, - they came with the hand of universal fellowship; there was some disruption, with disease, new cultures, and new shapes of warfare, but the greatest indignity was caused by the Austro-Polynesian people them-selves, who for a time, were greatly distracted by what the wider world had brought to them. The current idea that the wider world tried to destroy Te Reo and Māori is wrong, great trouble was given to understand, preserve and translate the language; and the language was and is given a contemporary living intake to all the people of the land, in that the majority of place names in Aotearoa New Zealand, are in the Austronesian language.

Civilisation came to this land now known as Aotearoa New Zealand in waves of varying types of culture; let us be thankful the land carries them all to our combined great destiny.

In regards to their relationship of ‘ownership’ to the land currently known as Aotearoa New Zealand, the only difference between the Austro-Polynesian and the wider world, is that the wider world arrived here on a bigger boat.

Hone Harawira needs to take his little flag and his maniacal mana and wake up to the new world that we have ALL constructed.

The 'Treaty of Waitangi' is irrelevant to most people, including so called "struggling Māori" who have non seen one cent from all the pay outs; the 'Treaty of Waitangi' is by and for "fat cats" of all ethnic backgrounds.

A thought experiment: So some say that the land was taken from the so called ‘Māori’, this is just not so, what really occurred was something called evolution, things are better now, for the people descended from ‘Māori’ and the wider world too?

We live today with an ultra-Māori reality, an extra-Māori experience.

The Austro-Polynesian descended people of Aotearoa New Zealand always have had their own sovereignty and their own rights, and now being tax-paying members of the social contracted democracy we live in, they also 'own' the land and the sea relevant to our oh so temporary guardianship of them. Close minded fascist divisions of these islands population is a illusionary deformity of what people really want, and is the truth of human interaction, health, and prosperity.


3.

Let the so called 'Māori' have their so called 'sovereignty' when in fact they all-ready have it. True 'sovereignty' is given by our cosmic nature, something that occurs upon birth, in the genealogy/whakapapa, to react to and let an outside system dictate this 'sovereignty' is an oxymoron. Language and behaviour learning is the true ruler of our life as mimicry, as cosmic fractal forms.

The Tuhoe iwi tribe all-ready own the land known as Te Urewera 'National Park' by virtue of being New Zealanders/Aotearoaens, and thus own the Te Urewera 'National Park' via the democratic social contract/taxes system?

Polynesian youth identifying with the west coast U.S.A. cultural media and crime scene is absolutely laughable, and unfortunate that their role-models are so irrelevant to be any real form of consciousness for them, do they non see that not everyone in their culture is dressing up and talking like the west coast U.S.A. so called 'gangster' style? They could be living in a really great way and place, instead they allow base meme mimicry to defy and deny, and distort their true natures. 

I love Oceania's diverse cultural nature. Let mutual support, love and needed genetic sharing guide our way.

Non more governmental policy based on ethnicity? Let policy reflect need not ethnicity? Though some ethnic groups seem via observation and statistics to be fairing more poorly than others, why is this? Is it from mimicry role model confusions and too many multi-cultural genetic and memetic inputs?

Needs exist, let them be faced in an equal manner, which I think they are mostly (circa 2011), but still there is a perception of ethnic disharmony, whom does propagate such disharmony? Reactionary older relatives and other role models, media artefacts and subjective meme distortion all add to ethnic disharmony?

More translation services for different cultures/languages to co-exist.  

There is a meme out there of a great ‘racist’ notion, pale faced Euronesian 'Māori' screaming in the street ‘white Satan’?!

No more so called ‘racism’, meaning non more ethnic related pathological behaviours please.  It’s the 21st century, we are all equal in love’s cosmic domain, let retaliation itself be the enemy not the people.

Let us non be involved in the construction of traps for those who identify themselves - however wrongly - as strictly 'Māori', denying/ignoring the wider world and/or European ancestry, today, yesterday, or tomorrow.

Retaliation and memes of retaliation are the reason for some of the modern worlds ills, from terrorism to ethnic pathological paradigms to crime. True or false?

Superficial and sometimes ersatz cultural artefacts are not the be all and end all of a healthy culture and nation?

The inter-related whaka-papa we are all part of. We all breathe the same air and share cosmic genetic heritage. Long term genetic health dictates that different ethnicities must merge together?

Having two electoral roles is undemocratic and divisive, such a superficial aspect to a people’s real needs? What does having the Māori electoral role actually achieve?
Real people are in no need of treaties, leave it to the chiefs, the so called fat cats and governmental officials, leave it to their deals of Hell, their private world of war, greed, sophist memes!?

With our words let us non construct vacuums of sophistry, sophist vacuums that pathology may fill.


4.

The original memetic structure that the word 'Māori' was originally a part of has long departed. The new evolved use of the word 'Māori' is used by the assimilated and describes a position and situation of opportunism and of a confused sophist hatred for an idea of self and other, confused ideas of an attempt at cultural destruction that never actually happened. Maori culture was certainly distracted and distorted but never destroyed by exposure to the wider world, this is evident by the historical record, the retaining of place names in Maori, and the modern legacy that is very strong today, though with some aspects having any lasting value remains to be seen.

Where is the new mind for this new multi-cultural situation. What brave soul will ypolambaneinly 'take the word' and sooth perceived troubles with true descriptive powers of/for our neo tangata, our neo whenua.

The past is the womb of today, but also it's grave, give us new voice, and even new gods for our emerged complexity that our descendants will see as a simplistic standard.

Some strains of so called Māori, their descendants, with their legacy of subhuman memes, gain a great sense of identity with the distorted perceived hatred, anger, struggle that some have about when the wider world came to Aotearoa New Zealand with their long term plans. These descendants of Māori became demented by the good fit their more animalistic memes have with a perceived situation of unfair treatment by 'the always other'.

Descendants of Māori are sometimes trapped by an identity of unwellness, a paradigm they have inherited from a complex background of the Māori primitive value system, and new living standards gained by introduction and invitation by the wider world.

Some Māori descended people find a great humour and character in obesity, smoking, alcohol and drug abuse, violence, and sexual promiscuity/paraphilia; a disturbed distorted sense of self that is non helped by the still quite fresh trauma and shock from the quite radical and extreme changes brought on by the exposure and integration to the wider world over these past few centuries.

How can you "steal" land from a stone age people who eat each other, keep slaves, and have sexual standards such as rape as a normal sexual feature? "Stealing" such a people's land sounds more like advancing salvation and great liberation, than robbery (what a point of view this is).

The wider world that came to this land, Aotearoa, New Zealand, was in some ways primitive itself, would the same things have occurred today, with what we know now, and our modern values?

What with all it's perceived flaws, we live in a truly beautiful world, in a great cosmic sea we are just starting to truly know. Complete and perfect we are now, but I still say, one day we will all be more complete, let us show great patience, love, and wisdom in this process?

The word 'Māori' is and was only ever a temporary descriptive term; now with the assimilation with the wider world that has now occurred totally and utterly with descended Māori, the word is more bugbear than a useful title?

What use and effect the word 'Maori' today? Today's use of the word 'Maori' is a celebration of sorts, a celebration of difference (diversity is good?), opportunism (naturally occurring to all ethnicities?), crime, sub humanisms, and a confused peddling of a sometimes ersatz culture of arts, language, and meme. These modern takes on primitive legacies is evolution, but it needs changing, control, and right celebrations; why hang onto a past, when it is in many ways such a pathological one?



Cosmic wind love all; complex interrelatedness’s and rebirth is all; love all.
                        Yours sincerely,
                                          Matthew D.N. Parsons.

Hi-fi story

I once owned a rather good Hi-fi system, with automatic pullout turntable, a seven cassette magazine, all fully programmable; but it was the large three cone Pye manufactured speakers that gave the sound system such – in French - ‘de bonne qualité’ - or in the Deutsch - ‘gute Qualität’. They were speakers that gave a real loud ‘nice’ natural sound; the thing was though, with that level of sonically pure response, you kind of relaxed into the sonic media a tad too much, you could almost forget you were listening to music, let alone a recording of such.

So now what I want from a speaker and a Hi-fi system is as follows: A slight remove from sonic perfection, I still want a lot of clear bass, mid-range, and treble, but I want a machined simulacra reality to shine through the sound, sort of a perverse thrill at what I’m listening too, is a product of the human capacity to distract by art, though good for the smiling yet perhaps sad soothed soul, is art distraction, and especially the art distraction of the ‘likeness’ fields, good for our whole being/ the life of a ‘sound’ mind?

'Classical music' in the culture: Advertising and cinema, highlight-ism and the life of the musical piece

Funny what is conjured listening to some types of music, emotion, tastes, memory, other. Classical music used for advertising things other than the music itself should be censored a bit, a touch of sensitivity to the musical piece being used, and the product-consumer 'audience's mind' relationship.

Oh the effect on consciousness the trend to make available, both commercially and otherwise, and of their use in film/concerts of just the so called 'highlights' of so called classical music, exempli gratia the 'Ride of the Valkyries' from Wagner's beginning of Act III of 'Die Walküre', the second of the four operas by Richard Wagner that comprise 'Der Ring des Nibelungen'; and the mind pollution of that certain attachment of said piece of music to with Francis Ford Coppola's cinematic offering 'Apocalypse Now' (though the pairing is a very successful one in terms of drama and audience manipulation). Further examples are Edvard Grieg's 'In the hall of the mountain king' (his incidental music to 'Peer Gynt', Op. 23, written for Henrik Ibsen's play of same name), Piotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky's Opus 20 'Swan lake', 'Scène: Moderato' excerpts; i suppose it is understandable that this occurs, for a number of reasons, but for it too happen so often creates a commonality of ignorance towards greater truthes and understandings of our multi-cultural world? This highlight-ism of classical music has almost become a standard in the so called western cultural paradigm. Let us pray for change.

Memories of John Cage's 'Fifty-eight', and iffy downloading question

I am the man who in toystore reels back from model robot figure labeled 'Deep space star scream'.

My head is forever replaying John Cage's Fifty-eight which i got out of the library (Wellington central) late 1999/early 2000; oh how i would like to listen to those beehive sounding strings (or wind instruments?) again; as i now live in an area whose library system is -- how shall i write this -- broad but commercially minded, i now must either buy a 'collectible' copy 49$USD via Amazon.com or download from the mediafire/blog paradigm. I feel being mistreated to have to buy a 'collectible' copy for 49$USD (60.45$NZD? as of 05.2011); i suppose i will wait, i non want to pay for what is available, yet am very uneasy about downloading something for 'free' that is available commercially; what would Cage do? Concoct my own version based on memory!?
 
Repeat above text for the composers Toshio Hosokawa's 'Landscapes I - II - V, Fragmente II, Vertical Time Study III', and Henri Pousseur's '8 Etudes Paraboliques in 4 CDS'. Music is distraction from the logos anyway? Or music is logos for that which has no words, the rather unhearable sounds of the universal cosmos! And therefore non distraction but mindwarp ultra, music of no words, the reasonings of planets, moons, stars, nebulae, comets, chemical chains, intelligence, the tool, and black holes.
 
Do i want to be newmedia anarchistic type, riddled with copyright infringement paranoia? Might make me a hit with my contemporaries, but what of my soul?!


 
Tempted and riddled, out.

Modern ambient music's 1884 prophecy

Paul-Marie Verlaine's "Art poétique", from Jadis et naguère (1884)

  ·  De la musique avant toute chose,
Et pour cela préfère l'Impair
Plus vague et plus soluble dans l'air
Sans rien en lui qui pèse ou qui pose.

    
·   Let's hear the music first and foremost,
        And that means no more one-two-one-twos…
        Something more vague instead, something lighter
        Dissolving in air, weightless as air.


A prophecy to/for ambient music? From 1884!
Oh your furniture music Satie, and your Eno's ticking vapourscapes, abloom, abloom, you fetching things!

Ersatzism in the culture

Drum machines are an ersatz experience.

Drum machines offer an ersatz experience to an ersatz world, a world saturated in images of the image, extended studio recording techniques, special effects, and marketed youth feeding on there own personality image.

In the postpostmodern world ersatzism is accepted to the point of invisible unremarkability and has been for quite some time.

The ancient law giving 'lords' (the blue cone head flat faced almond eyed beings?) have been replaced by confused mirrors of cultural strains.

People being quite blatently and even knowingly guided by image media culture, living ersatz pop lives, until maybe one day they find themselves in a situation that television etc has non prepared them for, what then, well it's called freedom my friends.

Argh! The images are burning into my mind!

'millions of images' - W.S. Burroughs.

Having a serious reaction to the world of images; first, i stayed away from the likeness image world, this gave me an understanding of ersatzism and truth/untruth. Then i looked upon mystical arts, then B&W photography, now i am flirting with colour video, oh how the world of images aches my soul...

We so called developed worlders, we swim in seas of image. I think ones intelligence rises if you exclude images from learning/life?

Are we image, are we living in simulated reality holistically/actually?

The meaning of life is...

The meaning of life has to do with - outside of food, shelter, offspring, survival paradigms -  transience, complexity, inter-connectedness (relationships), and birth and re-birth (construction and destruction), fulfilling work and/or hobbies. Some of those things just listed are reiterated somewhat in the surrounding text, but there you are, complexity.

'The meaning of life is life itself'
