dear com
just read 'nudge, nudge ... ', great piece of copywriting... not sure bout the content - being a revolutionary myself, i feel the author missed too many oppos to stick the knife in...
1. Aren't we creating a society ? I feel author is stuck in 90s individual consumerism society - needs to spend more time in a Gulag. A society will reflect all visions and not necessarily focus on meetings with 1/2/groups of people. Also if I see Immanuel on the street 6 floors below and know he is coming to work, i feel a '1', but he is a '0' etc. Hence, please define this seemingly fascistic binary code better.
2. Figure 1.2 is needed since the sentence that precedes is scientifically wrong - ie: 60% of 360 = 216 degrees and sight is defo not more than 180 deg at any one time.
3. all this candleight stuff is bull - if there is only 1 and 0, candlelight will not approximate any stage unless we include 0,0.5,1 - or are you referring to the constant light-dark thing ? Last sentence in this para ROCKS however ...
4. Last para: surely our revolutionary aim to blast society form its routes should focus on exploding the myth that the individual is sovereign consumer - the selfserving 0 of video is a more potent example since when we are communally living in a '1' when with people even if the iris is doing Paul Daniels.
5. Is therefore, film/TV the ultimate revivification tool - blinking 25 times a second?
I like the idea of reinventing my present when blinking, but be honest, that's dreaming, com, use an AK and make your dreams your fantasties and REALITY.
