so yeah. sorry for schizo-rambling around fourteen questions as always, this is my usual mode. i basically am the Doomsday Pirate Radio Network, one station continually broadcasting pretty much the same things over and over again, 24/7, from some wasteland bunker in the post-apoc world. but it's quite fitting.

i know that this had precious little to do with Whitehead also, sorry about that. but mostly i like him because of his non-economic, non-political view on things, and for having a theology still curiously compatible with the (post)modern world, even a world in which one has ripped out all of the wiring and torn out all of the foundations in a search for truth, and in which the whole of it now kind of just stands in a total wreckage, after we let loose all of this crazy artistic-technological-productive power in the search for some kind of meaningful utopia, which - in my own view - is really just like a kind of semiotic nuclear weapon. and in which all of the old socialist (or antiquatedly non-socialist) find themselves becoming *indistinguishable from each other,* losing all distinction...money links up everything, collapses all categories and frames of reference, and we get the immuno-deficiency virus that both Han and Sloterdijk talk about...

when you can't design your new model society from the top-down (because it's wrong) or from the bottom-up (because you never get to the bottom), then what? this is where a whole new system, or a whole new adventure, maybe begins. like a reset button. or a violent forgetting.
