Truth is Diagonal

"Truth is diagonal relative to every communitarian subset; it neither claims authority from, nor (this is obviously the most delicate point) consitutes any identity."

-Alain Badiou, Saint Paul: The Foundation of Universalism

Informing Ourselves to Death

There is no consistent, integrated conception of the world which serves as the foundation on which our edifice of belief rests. And therefore, in a sense, we are more naive than those of the Middle Ages, and more frightened, for we can be made to believe almost anything. The skin of a Bismark herring makes about as much sense as a vinyl alloy or encomial dioxin.

Spiritual Happenings in the Indian Forest

This is a scene from "Gopi and Bagha," a movie by Satyajit Ray. Though I personally have not seen this film, judging by this clip and by his other films he has made, I think it is probably great.
The idea of a Ghost Dance seems to really embody many of the ideas Totally Wreck deals with, and this clip is one of the best I have seen.

All is digital dust in the wind

I cant wait until i can surf a sine wave to Dubai and ride animatronic camels while reciting 1700 year old Turkish proverbs while eating a new complex fruit I created with my mind.

Suppose we were raised in such a state. I feel it's an interesting period for the artists, which I've always thought of as society's antennae.

Which inspires more creativity, limitation of abilities and resources *or* limitless and effortless indulgence of possibilities within the constructs of our own mind?

I feel limitation can provide insight into areas we would overlook if faced with endless possibility.
Although, the only true limitation within a world that is malleable as a lucid dream states is our own consciousness. My argument lies with the question of what would provoke inspiration? Would it be a self-created feedback loop of ideas that purely manifests from itself, or would people settle back in a serene state of indifference as they are merely channeling the arguably infinite of the human consciousness? I'm curious to see what you think before i go on exploring the idea.
