It is most often manifested as a decentralized campaign of civil disobedience, activism, art movements, especially performance art and guerrilla art, culture jamming, graffiti and other vandalism, practical jokes, hoaxes, reality hacking, chaos magic, words of power, trolling and anything else that is believed to bring about social change through disrupting paradigms and thus forcing the victim to question the parameters of one's reality tunnel.

Möbius strip is a surface with only one side and only one boundary component. The Möbius strip has the mathematical property of being non-orientable. It can be realized as a ruled surface. It was discovered independently by the German mathematicians August Ferdinand Möbius and Johann Benedict Listing in 1858.

020110601 logos enframes 0.1

In ordinary, non-technical Greek, logos had a semantic field extending beyond "word" to notions such as, on the one hand, language, talk, statement, speech, conversation, tale, story, prose, proposition, and principle; and on the other hand, thought, reason, account, consideration, esteem, due relation, proportion, and analogy.

The paradox today is that the ground of the latest Western technologies is electronic and simultaneous, and thus is structurally right-hemisphere and 'Oriental' and oral in its nature and effects. This situation began with the telegraph more than a century ago. Still, the overwhelming pattern of procedures in the Western world remains lineal, sequential, and connected in political and legal institutions, and also in education and commerce, but not in entertainment or art. A formula for complete chaos!

"Herbert Krugman performed brain-wave studies, comparing the response of subjects to print and television. One subject was reading a book as the TV came on. As soon as she looked up, her brain waves slowed significantly. In less than two minutes, she was in a predominantly alpha state --relaxed, passive, unfocused. Her brain-wave response to three different types of TV content was basically the same, even though she told Krugman she 'liked' one, 'disliked' another, and 'was bored by' the third. As a result of a series of such experiments, Krugman argues that this predominantly alpha state is characteristic of how people respond to TV --any TV. He recently remarked, 'the ability of respondents to show high right brain response to even familiar logos, their right brain response to stories even before the idea content has been added to them, the predominantly right brain response to TV, and perhaps even to what we call print advertising --all suggests that in contrast to teaching, the unique power of the electronic media is to shape the content of people's imagery, and in that particular way determine their behavior and their views.'

Chaos Interrupted

Chaos in Greek mythology and cosmology referred to a gap or abyss at the beginning of the world, or more generally the initial, formless state of the universe. (the antithetical, or possibly complementary, concept was cosmos).

Later uses of the term by philosophers varied over time. In modern English, the word is used in classical studies with the original meaning; in mathematics and science to refer to a very specific kind of unpredictability; and informally to mean a state of confusion. In philosophy, and in popular culture, the word can occur with all three meanings.

wise men do both?

Watts felt that absolute morality had nothing to do with the fundamental realization of one’s deep spiritual identity. He advocated social rather than personal ethics. In his writings, Watts was increasingly concerned with ethics applied to relations between humanity and the natural environment and between governments and citizens. He wrote out of an appreciation of a racially and culturally diverse social landscape.

Kurt Weller and Bob Dobbs - Tron: Legacy

Concerning Tron Legacy

Kurt Weller and Bob Dobbs discuss Tron: Legacy and the similarities between it and the work of Mr. Dobbs. Bob is one of a few people on the planet scanned daily by the Android Meme so that it can “…know deeply a human being who understands it to better gauge how to become more human. I seem to be the reference point it uses as a standard from which to create the lowest ‘human’ common denominator in its products.”
