Philosophy of Simulacra

Choices: Escaping The Illusion of Being Here.

..I suddenly stopped watching. I did it some time ago. Realising most part of the truth about my life, I started carefully listening instead. Everything was inside my mind. Lonelines. One of mankinds' greatest fears was certainly mine. Attractiveness wasn't universal. Beauty was only skin deep. Self-centered creatures sacrificing their fragile lives for emptiness. Love for imperfection. The ubiquitous adoration for games or simulations. Indifference. Lack of purpose. Confusion. That was what I heard although had never seen before. It was beginning of my awareness. The end of blissful ignorance and illusion. A cristal sound of human potencial within. The blind must be definitely not those who can't see but who can't hear. Insight into impermanence was my last view I perceived and then abandoned. It's 2356 year of the 4th and the last mapping cycle, at least of my time and of those, who had come here from various parts of simulacra long time before me. All minds in simulated environments perceive time as the linear time paradigm. They have no knowledge about superspectrum dimension flow. There are hardly a few beings who have understood nonchaotic multidimensional flows. Those minds will have to be protected. In future their knowledge would be used to create new simulated realities as well as the bridges. QUESTION: The flight from Atlanta to Paris lasts approximately eight hours. You will leave at about 9:30 pm, but since there is a six hour time difference, it is actually 3:30 am Paris time when you leave. What time will it be when you get there? What if you were to travel from Atlanta to Paris without stopping for years. To and fro. Wouldn't you have been...younger? If you can understand you indeed would have been younger then what time your watch should have actually read? {prompt: how long does a moment last?}

"Time is of your own making its clock ticks in your head. The moment you stop thought time too stops dead."

-Angelus Silesius

Take your VR helmet off your head and see an actual time of the real. What if you were to travel between worlds where time flow is different in each of them.

Anarchy Reloaded

What would happen to the nature of human society if over the course of time everybody began to (almost literally) think in terms of cybernetics instead of a natural language? What would happen if people began to live, think and breathe cybernetics? What would happen if all children were taught utilizing constructivism and thus to think for themselves instead of being indoctrinated with potentially false information? What would happen if all humans became systems thinkers, and what would the metasystem of them be like, what types of unimaginably powerful emergent phenomena would be produced? What would be left to achieve given a situation like this, locked-in generation after generation? What would a system of problem-solvers be like, as opposed to the system of endless debaters/meeting attenders/cynics/ What would it be like to actually enjoy living, to have a purpose in life? What would it be like to communicate with other systems, with societies where all the aforementioned events have also occurred?

"The man
Of virtuous soul commands not, nor obeys:
Power, like a desolating pestilence,
Pollutes whate'er it touches, and obedience,
Bane of all genius, virtue, freedom, truth,
Makes slaves of men, and, of the human frame,
A mechanised automaton."

-Percy Bysshe Shelley

Slack

"True Slack is something for nothing."

"The Slack that can be described is not the true Slack."

"Slack: a surge of uncorrupted gumption, an explosion of

the 'self' - not obliterating it, but bloating it."

- The Book of the Subgenius

Do you spend most of your time wishing that you were doing something else? Has the conspiracy ground you down to a dried-up ball of dust? Is your life a shockingly obvious pattern of waking up every morning to perform perfectly idiotic activities all day long, followed by returning home to sit before the numbing rays of a TV before you go to sleep so that you can get up and repeat the cycle? If so, someone else has your Slack! That's right, it's a zero-sum game, and you my friend, are the zero. You've got to make yourself receptive to Slack, and it will shower down on you in an endless cascade.
