“Facebook” is like our entire culture and relationships with language, knowledge, ecology and intelligence. Here’s the basic gambit:
How can you imagine or make an authentically human, intelligent, vital and productive ‘move’ (action)… within a context that »is composed of 50 fake purposes, overlays, imperatives and traps — that actively replace and repurpose any authentic action or context you can invent?
In other words: what does an intelligent move look like… in any context that is a competing clusterfuck of lethal, ‘benign’, and aggressively conversionist fictions?
And every child ever born ‘faces’ the same problem. In every moment of their lives. They have no idea what to do, or who or how to be, in a context that is conflicted in 50 ways, whose reward and punishment imperatives are the opposites of humanity, intelligence, relation, ecology, REALITY, or even common sense.
So every time I make any move here, I remember this. Because we have to invent ways to play as authentically and mutually as possible in domains that are more alien to our souls and minds than space is to our unshielded bodies.
And we must change that. Now. It was humans who ‘ejected’ the ecological, relational, intellectual and biological aspects of reality from our thought, behavior, expectation, language and activity. We are already ‘dying, in space’ because the results of our history and habit are both uninhabitable and unsurvivable.
So we need to learn and demand new ways of being intelligent and human together in contexts that are absolutely and often lethally counterfeited.
And that is (a part of) what I am doing here. In general, in person, and in particular.
