does insecurity fuel fear?

Lets check the question of whether there might be a link between insecurity and fear? Why not not insecurity and beer? Not a very clever attempt for a rhyme. However, perhaps there is something to claim regarding feeling insecure and alcohol consumption? IDK.. Anyway, going back to fear and insecurity.. It seems to be plausibly […]

brexit and clear plans?

Another thing I do not comprehend is the way a vivid lack of clear planning does not seem to impede the brexit drive. When people want to change course, they usually require a clear idea – a clear vision – as to what to do next, no? Unless the events sequence is utterly disastrous, there […]

racist algorithm or people?

perhaps neither google’s algorithm nor people? Maybe both? Or is it just the very fact that unlike zeus, duals among the aristocracy, or the wide-spread sun worshiping – racist thinking is still around? http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2016/jun/10/three-black-teenagers-google-racist-tweet https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2016/jun/09/three-black-teenagers-anger-as-google-image-search-shows-police-mugshots

europe and the market ghosts?

Do you know the market ghost? Perhaps a ghostly monster is a better description, but do you know what I mean? Am refering to arguments that deny possibilities for economic rights, freedoms and emancipation on the grounds that they might disturb the market. That forfeiting all debts, or building more housing, or making education free, […]

i am a constant immigrant, you?

With this eu referendum hoohaa, it seems that all sorts of dirt comes up. The immigration dirt is rather peculiar, isn’t it? The lefties try to hummer statistics which show that immigration is in fact a benefit. The rightists fancy keeping the realm ruling, I suppose, hence we get stuff like: http://www.theguardian.com/politics/2016/jun/09/pm-urged-to-reopen-free-movement-discussion-if-uk-stays-in-eu ?? In my […]

the non algorithmic nature of reality?

I think its an interesting argument. Vectors aren’t there until you call them – hence not made of numbers/algorithms. Another argument that I think might be valid is that of calling something what it is and the link to abstract. One of the driving energies in the development of abstraction in painting, was the idea […]

maths, democracy, art and

a bit of over pumping? An interesting clip pointing maths as a cultural language. I’d disagree about the hierarchical view. ie maths uber everything else. eg, maths more than art. I really don’t think life, human and otherwise, could be without art. Art as the imagining or searching sensations? Kind of yes. Can it not […]

terror terror on the wall, who is

a terror terrorist of them all? It seems that the term “terror” and being a “terrorist” is kind of universally taken as a tag people rather not have. RAF were soldiers of red army faction. ANC was designated as a terror organisation by people opposed to it, not its members. Al Q isn’t calling itself […]

a 2016 california justice?

6 months for a rapist. life time by default for the survivor? the rape survivor’s open letter. I think this is a very clear, intelligent and well illustrative of being a rape victim experience. This, I think makes it very moving and a powerful statement about being raped. Given the reaction by the court, perhaps […]

europe and the sequence of constant bigotry?

There are many things I am clueless from and about. I can not understand how people can play ping-pong in the parks and streets of as windy city like brighton. I can not understand how come top-gear is ever so popular. Or how come people like to agree with one another – and these are […]

lets buy debt art?

Just a thought – probably a random one. * set up a “debt buying currency” – debtgold (DG) or something like that. * each entity/person investing in this DG agrees that, like any art-linked objects, the material costs less than the selling price. ie to buy DG = 0.0000001 pound, but selling in the exchange […]

will i die tomorrow? perhaps later today?

I keep feeling that tomorrow I might die. tomorrow, the always kind of tomorrow, the one with morrow and a movement towards. a To from a now and into unknown. Unknown? Into tomorrow, an unknown might well be the most known of all – death? I might die tomorrow – so from that might I […]

basic income for all?

Today in Swiszerland – referendum about a universal basic income (ubi). UBI? yes, check http://www.basicincome2016.org I think its an inevitable way to keep being occupied by capitalism. huh? yes, it keeps monetary – numerical – means as the way to make exchanges. It allows keeping the reliance on numerical accounts of exchange as a form […]

Muhammad Ali – reactions i really don’t understand

Muhammad Ali, unfortunately in my view, sadly and I think tragically, died yesterday. There are many reactions to the event which I do not understand let alone comprehend. Here’s a list: “Muhammad Ali was the greatest“: Sure, he was a very interesting character. He was a boxing champ, a cultural icon and a social role […]
