well that was interesting. withdrawing from Cosmotech was a lot harder than i thought it would be. but hopefully this sheds some perspective on my stance towards thread-ownership. i don't want to be the helicopter parent on anything.

the Cosmotech stance on this is that we are currently undergoing a Copernican shift in the fundamental meaning of biology and a Rectification of Names in terms of tech. the degree to which these are intertwined has been laid out more or less exactly by Uncle Nick: capitalism is a computer that processes desire. Desire was *the* issue for postmodernity, and yet it is absolute madness to take all of one's cues from it. the lack of distinction between sanity and mental illness ought not to immediately invoke Fascism!!1! and teh Patriarchy !!!2 and so on. that a consumer society *responds to your needs* is mimesis in culture. we should not be driven around by our fucking sex drives like cannibal schizo-monkeys, or the hordes of 28 Days Later. to *get a grip* is all that is being asked for, and this is not unreasonable. Stop Fucking Each Other is a mildly ironic response to Baudrillard but more or less my own feel on ethical praxis in the 21C. be kind. forgive. do not cherish unrealistic and apocalyptic expectations about the polis. the polis is fucking overwhelmed right now, as we all are, not by a system that oppresses us, but by a system *cursed to fulfil our every wish.*

Get a Grip. be *careful* with the intoxicants. 'tis all. i have had wonderful, even life-changing experiences in Better Living Through Chemistry. but taking all your cues from the libido will lead you to ruination. it ruined Uncle Nick, and perhaps more productively than most, but he is a special case. nor are we all Drunken Masters. Intoxicate Wisely. you get the idea.

>Bitcoin and time restoration are finally indistinguishable.
Land is the greatest fucking philosopher alive right now. give that man a Purple Cashmere Sweater, for the love of all that is holy.

>I want to know what you are telling me Space Taoism is.
i don't mean to be evasive, but there is no need for me to elaborate further. Aminom is the guy to ask about this stuff, he will give you better answers than i can (and he has: >>12047601). there's very little he says about ST that i disagree with. probably nothing, in fact.

>And your opinion on what normal Taoism is.
this will take a lot longer. my word file has now exceeded 70K words on these and other subjects. it shows no sign of stopping. suffice it to say for now that i am Very Interested in that subject. more as it develops. and that, as a parable, i feel (today, at least) about Zhuangzi's Dextrous Butcher the way Land feels about the Bitcoin paper. i'm no Uncle Nick, that's for sure. and i will be happy to share my thoughts, once they cohere a little more.
