                                    Two species of being inside:

 

 

Species one; the locate within an analogy;

a)    The game of thinking inside the world is the game of attributes- an attribute a knack or method of prediction. As one is caught up within such a knack one knows or think one knows where to look for the next hit – h next truth – the next pattern. One becomes then able to predict from within or at least feel they can, what will occur.

b)    Or perhaps more realistically the attribute becomes a means within which further truth reveals itself. – and is so in two differing senses.

c)     Firstly the paradigm creates or sets up truth. That is sets up needs and the means or the rules to provide those needs. It creates then is won work.

d)    Secondly, it allows the paradigm to expand into other topics, and convert or translate them into its own concerns – its own doings. It examines therefore o engross a world. Everything becomes about it.

e)      Take the basic Mac  computer system: Here is an attribute pa excellence. A rubric within define a way to approach a computer. For the majority of users that old tiresome business wit programming or running a disk real slow or lists or D was gone. Here as a system, and the hardware to back it , that gave one a real aim axis to whatever a computer could do.

f)      The attribute then combined both  hardware (capable of instants results and a conception  space. , and a paradigm for computers as that which does away with time, by having things instantly their in front you within a space was born: Computers become then a game of a parallelinity – of doing very many things at once.

g)     It was this ability – they universal that was then imported interoffice and homes – as needlessly powerful computer become a norm

h)     Here it I worth sating the alternative (of there was one, that we are now partially returning to). The alternative saw the computer not as a one stop desk-top doing shop, but rather as a sequence of rather specializes concerns which are, like eclectic motors o be found everywhere. The computer is then a specified thing, and not a universal handyman. This other model for computers in a sense has gradually filtered across society-  computer invade cars, or gizmos or Hoover:

i)      An you this invasion is not what one thinks of as one thinks computer- it is not here the real research it. It is extra –addition- beyond the attribute to instant flexibility that the computer creates.

j)      Once that axis is real, then of course two things happen

k)      Firstly it gains its own galaxy of passion: People look at a computer with impatience (mainly) or complexes bemusement or irritation. One knows that every really ought to be easy (it just never really is). The computer becomes then a thin to be felt with or against. It become a point in a life.

l)       Secondly the computer takes on the characteristic structure of the within.  Could attribute is always big and little. The operating system is then expanded into e internet – a whole system of localizes stories of knowledge which need to be coordinated as it though were virtue for space to define time. But also individual programs, gain pallets and layers, organization tools for a space.

m)  The world becomes then composed of sliding locale spiritual spaces- which organizing a patch, and each nested into or a part of a wider space.

n)    Once this happens, and once the technology is spreading out – once everyone feels they really ought to b  a part o this pace – then several further things happen.

o)     Firstly t becomes a political issue. The speed of that superhighway matters. Or better the constant exclusion of time without the orbit of the computer becomes a political concern like every other. Everyone must join, and the correct technology to allow this most be used.

p)    The pipping out of time – that promise that a computer allows on to be parallel to be main things at once (that is a feature of conceptual spaces – becomes then something no only for technology but also societies to thinks about.

q)     And yet of course it does so just as he computer unpicking the union of space and time that surely lie at the heart of government. A Government is after all as much as anything else a certain tribute of space and time: It imposes then a variety of rhymes upon a live. We need to do this to do that or that or that., as well as a staid series of option: one can be this or that or the other when one grows up or becomes unemployed.

r)     A government is the guarantor then of certain rhythms o have a live within;  job is to ensure these rhythms. Along come computers have not so much  a rhythm as a lack of faith with rhythms a denial of time through space, and the government is caught.

s)      That is it is caught because it rather needs that time. It is in the fact news spreads a certain away or decisions take a time, that a government is. to be deprived of that rhythms then matters.

t)      One opens up then here with a government acting against its own interest.

u)    Or better it I another deep feature of that paradigm that knowledge does not actually as in those nests box.  rather bleeds out to wag war with existing systems. An odd asymmetric or viral war, where each seem attempt to use the resources it already has to engross and command the other. 

v)     Each attributes acts in the knowledge of that it alone matters , it alone exists, it alone comprehends a world.

w)    To thin, then within a system is to suppose that one rubric or attribute one quality often taken from a jump or leap already into eh mind, can enforce itself upon a world. It is demand then the technology understands that paradigm. Once creates computer to engross time into space – to make tie as illusionary as possible in virtual space. And to then bugger up every system that might otherwise impose its own thoughts or schemata of system of action of the world.

x)    The within has in itself an agenda- or less an agenda a sequence of irruptions,  evinces what erupts – an in doing so allows others to locate within it, an internal generate thought it (and so create new tasks or new takes.

y)      

z)     In doing o I creates then new hidden powers, The power of our society-  the modern paradigm gained from computing is not hard or software – so much as the little techno gizmo that allows individuals to navigate to open out of a widening of space.

aa) Take (as a totally different example) the issue of ecological means of power production I is call that part of the challenge of global warming is that I would break a power structure. It is not the production of power that holds the power, o much as the mass producing of the means to have that power, and the research necessary to have it in the fist place. The power then lies with those who crate means for others to act (and not with the creation itself0.

bb)  The power then leis with fuel cell makers or with solar panel producers. It lies in the e carefully designers of the gizmo’s.

cc)   Or perhaps better it lies in the hidden production products (and the time these processes take) process which once hey are writ large can then become a part of lives.

dd) This move h0ught I not accidental. He challenge of ecology is the challenge of a resistibility for emerging production. Reduction is then not something global, but rather is ain a local thing. Things are produced down the road, where one can watch them. They are bought into the paradigm of tee family or the inter-net-space type community-  a thinning we all know of.

ee)  Here is of course the echo of the computer- the idea that the technology ought to be invisible and yet universal – every, and allowing action anywhere- but itself an anonymous as goggle or face book a logo to internalize and become a part of a  life  - a thing to moan again – but a thing to use as if it were always your won – as if it were simply thee and for free.

ff)     This model of taking those free ounces of power (sun and wind0 and using them, is then the paradigm that  large companies based on technologies that were complex in the production and distortion find tricky. Their  economy of time is simply different they impose a speed across an entire process – a means  a series of moves; the idea that the company is simply a spasm a single conceptual jump, and the a spread of a technology to allow others their own jump, is truck n this model.

gg) In a sense the trickiness of this is seen in the recent financial crisis: what after l laws this crisis but a leap into a finical system based on self regulation and self marketing. Moen thought of itself as a goggle equivalent; it was something once manufactured as simply there, and ready – on hand as a computer is, and everywhere – for others use. Trouble was money never dos world effectively with way-  or cannot without being dragged into a mire of speculation.

hh)  Finical capitalism, which likes it profits form big projects finds then the entire idea of space led, computer led technologies trick.

ii)     Or to put it another way the battle of elements or organize a world which is such a hallmark of conceiving within it, through a paradigm of it, is necessarily political. It creates a necessary political dimension o its actions – a sense ht t act on way I o challenge other ruses, other methods.

jj)     This politics is all he more problematic as the ins are never fixed: there is nothing therefore sopping one ruse from springing into other ways, other ruse – or better being taken up by them to become a part in their picture, their image of what ought to be.  

kk)  A politics that is then doubled up – for as an new attribute a new series to organize or locate a world, spreads it takes over, an gives a new angle on world ruses – making them different or complex or problematic. One finds then new truths I the new means o think a world. New fears, and new politics.

ll)     This last point then meters as one system of thinking or acing will needs to have a resonance in others. To invent a ca is therefore to invent a feeling or a type of action that actually  demands echoes in other paradigms. That is the ability to use a sequence of personal time to move across a world at ones one rhythm becomes something every other non petrol chemical system needs to allow for. One cannot uninvent the freedom of a car-  only a global catastrophe could to that.

mm)               Cars therefore deemed equivalence elsewhere – and part of the battle in establishing a new attribute is to take on and ingest in ones own way those element of the old on that are quit literal unnegiocateble (we would rather the world dies first).

nn)  An attributes progress is then rather jerky. To spread it would need o take other up , others that are beyond its immediate orbit, its world. As such its spread is either rather uneven – or else jerky (as eventually it does find a means from within) or else parabolic.

oo) That is it becomes ask, and only be changing its rules, but looking elsewhere or at another time or a slightly different version of what it award is, can ignore. Hence the ecol movement latest little jump, away form one solution to the pallet of solutions…

pp)  Any attribute is therefore caught up in reflecting other attributes, both s things to surmount and thing to translate. It echo in its own net the parts or paths of other nest – other means or ideas – which I wants to allow for, or use.

qq) Humans we make our continues for knowing: tat is our own webs to think in- or own series of actions, and our own economies and time and space. In doing so we reach across worlds defining and respining them: orchestrating them anew or differently or making more or less simple or complex:

rr)   The game though of the attribute is to make this mythological construction absolute; he attribute wins because it reflects a mind – it becomes the way that that min is caught in the world, an is so across many individuals. The attribute is then the pointer of difference – the point we all meet at, and allow for each other:

ss)   It is therefore the self bending of an open world – a mental specialization of mater and space.

 

 The second dominant thinking within – is that that of passions.

 1) no one should ever underestimate the oddness of passion. I engrosses world. As a I feel I know I have a right to be – this world is mine is love or anger or feeling.

I is therefore the point myself with all my greeds or essences demand they are.

 2) To feel is therefore tin inject a being into world.

 And yet such  weird being;  not only are the feelings so complex. Who actually knows what they feel/ To better how can or why should feelings follow language or anything other than their own rhyme They clearly do not.

3)  Feeling might be bond terror or mere amusement or challenge or funny or anger or all of them at different times, when hooked into different context of merely understood in different intensities

4) Feeling therefore jerk with away and that – building worlds and ruining them.

 5) They given you then not merely a world but also an awesome geography of shifting plates for that world.

6) But also they allow one to mp out or make up a natural history for a mind. To have a mind is to have  seen of times and places or feelings and memories. One has stores of fear regret or hated to call upon. One has fleeing or lack of both  then and now to be. They define ones feeling them and a cynicism or love now – they open p memory, and allow it or define its having been as is now : the sense it is always felt, always there. They allow us the time for a life.

7) and yet also an jut as importantly they reach into others. As I feel I look into your eyes for that set of moves in you that means we feel the same or at least in a similar manner o at least you understand what I m on.

8) a feeling is then at worst a black hole. T is the point that wants to such up a world and devour it is a certain manner. The point that expects others to bow to it.

9) at best it is a patch-you and I w fell as one or at least as buttocks in the same bum. We are aught up together, and caught within a feeling: be it delusion or reality.

10) this needs appeal to the other to is vital. Feelings are never mine alone  I am what occur within the,), they receive then a great portion of their power in reaching and reflecting into other minds.

11) this is of course why a mob is so powerful – it define a reality beyond the I’ within it, the individuals, and crates a felt world, where they all bay for a place, and which takes priority over other feelings.

12) But of course here one always hits that beautiful instable that also lies within feel. As I feel I needs to also assume something about you. Need to assume a reflection I is hard to gear feeling in the light f cynicism. One needs last least grading allowance.

13) or better if one does not have this then  rather a different series of feelings become allowed.

14) one needs then t assume others are in-  and does so into the light of the fact that the feelings they themselves are within might fell different inside them.

14) we might actually share the same feeling (or we might not of course) but what it is to you might be so different that  his is a hindrance.

 15)or you might not feel at all – you might not love me at all: here of course attain o f opposite sexes is surely a  paradigm: the attrition might be the same, and yet what is attractive must differ. A  pact of difference of corporation across an oddity line a line of attraction and repulsion, must then be formed.

16 ) this in a senses naturally creates a fissure a point of known understood within the very understood, which resonates across many feelings. That is many point we know we feel the same ,and yet do not know why we do it: Or else wonder if we really do feel the same.

17) and yet of course all feelings are to different degrees, and in differing individuals rather attractive – they have a gravity. Of their own.

18) They will then reach into others thoughts and warp together – we harmonize actually.

19)  O better if we are not going the same way, and tasting the same honey we will need to reject and then justify. The self is then the stroppy bit of self assertion – the bit that assumes it is alone and ought at times to be alone or at least not you.

20)  The self identity then imposes another pointer of rejection. I might reject that harmony that is coming my way – that you are foistering upon me.. Or again I might set myself up as the pole to which you harmonise.

21) The ego sets itself up as the tumbling pot towards which both I and you go, We cooperate in building up a me. It all so readily becomes about what I am, and you are merely a fan. Ego therefore forms itself as a homing point in the feeling soup.

22) Or finally we might really mean this. We might really hook up our desire, our feeling, and allowing for that odd sexual difference ,  the  point the just disagree at to agree in the fist place (a space perhaps), the might create something different, something new.

23) Feelings really do then challenge the world. Not only to they impose odd geographies and strange ending of the world (Echo or self or mob0m they also allow that element that are so different can be taken on into the other, and hooked into a wider process: a difference becomes then  pointer in creating a life or a world. something to unpick.

24) We humans we real do make our own worlds, if it just we always needs others into heir with us-  others who are of cause also doing the same….
