I could put a series of micro blog posts here.. most links to archive and book stuff will be http links.

Perhaps the Gemini challenge is to keep to words self-contained. describe and reference.

day one-

Just watched the Spanish film Nowhere; childbirth in a floating upturned container.

Have just finished reading Technofeudalism by Yanis Varoufakis. It's an interesing thesis, and a lot of it rings true

maybe he has some of the terms slightly off, he's seen something though. Must research the technical meanings of rent vs. profit

rent predates capitalism, and has always persisted through it. It can be disguised as profit, "rent" has a moral stigma, even to

to those who collect it. Unpack this.

Novara media interviews interesting people. John Gray say s history is cyclical, and we are not always progressing to some greater noble good.

Listing to him now he seems convincing. Everyone has thought they have lived in the end times for the last 2000 years, likely more.

It's unlikely that this is the end times, but perhaps there's no reason we might not just run backwards for a bit.

Bertand Russell praises Idleness.

Neubauten plays on the Autobahn.

another day-

Less than a year later. Something I wrote in a physical notebook 1 month ago:

Wanting to write something, thinking of a game, but not one to consume, not

like a movie or a short story or a novel or a comic or a poem; well, maybe

a bit liek these things. One that is produced as it is consumed . Perhaps

a Borgesian, Ballardian, Burroughsian, Baudrillardian, Baudelairian,

literary game ..... now I am just listing names in 'B'. What about

Kafka, or Lautreamont? What about Woolf, or Plath, Parker,

or Austen? Shelley?

I guess the point is I should write something.

a much later day-

(transcribed from a note book, landscape orientation, written in the wind, on the coast, touching some grass)

[...] A character sits, a character stands.

The sand is wiped away but time still passes and dust inevitably settles again.

The slate is never as clean as you hope.

Keep digging for better slate – where do you find it?

Lying in fragments on the surface, or deep in layers underground?

Look! A bird has scratched this one. This one has fallen and cracked.

Can we use them as is?

How many do we need?

What are they for?

Can we just leave them lying?

The bird still is, the slate still is,

and so are we.
