Urgent Evoke

A crash course in changing the world.

I deleted all my previous posts, because none of them touched directly on the subjects of the game. They were all sideways, cross-corner, cutting edge, controversial, and completely off subject. For me this wh*** game is about memes. Ideas. Discussion. Finding out not just which ideas have potential, but which forms of distributing ideas have potential. And not the potential to have the idea accepted, but the potential to create the conditions in which the idea can be fully activated. To this end, I spend a lot of time commenting on other people's posts. I love the content going around, but I'm always more interested in the nature of the dialogue. Dialogue, after all, can take an infinite variety of forms. Some cold, and some warm. Some fresh and some worn.

The true Alchemy here is us. The intermingling of our ideas in this virtual pool where nothing we bring to the table stays stable, and the fables we've been told about the systems that hold us, unfold and we find that there's no one to control us. Just concepts in motion, perpetually moving, the machine that we've searched for and yet are always disproving. This alchemy wrought, uncontained and unsought, surges through the minds of each node and a lot is accomplished though nothing is done, as the noosphere expands towards the original one.

No place to display this enjoyment, no taming of this urge to deploy it, decoys all around and yet we still find the targets. We are it. The ecstatic creators of a system at play, which can't stay but must, as all things do, decay. Be at peace my friends and know that we've not long to go, until the fork in the road grows. Will we fight or let go? Struggle or flow? What do we bring to this comic cosmic show?

But a single display, this scheme contains both the rhythm that I've hidden and the meaning I'd say in prose and in essay, were it not for the form of love which cries out for poetry.

I loved your previous posts. They were absolutely related, as they were what happened in your unique head in response to what happened here. Thus they were indeed baby memes that are heading out into the world as I write... :-)

And I look forward to all the new memes you generate as you metaphorically mate with the collective Evoke.

Thank you for trying. But I advice you to create many friends as you can. You will see the different. Stick to the objectives. Make your story more inspirationary. Do it more than expectation. Never give up on it. Don't rush on things.

I'm not trying Bongumusa. I wouldn't know what to try to do. I'm just being myself, as honestly as I can given my own basic ignorance of who I am. I'm not trying to inspire you or complete objectives. I'm not trying to meet or exceed anyone's expectations. If anything, I would be trying to defy expectations, to make my life a testament to everyone to "keep their expectations to themselves". I don't create friends. I accept anyone who wants to be my friend, and seek no one. I am not looking to see difference. I am practicing seeing unity. I have nothing to give up on because there is nothing I am looking to see happen. As I've said numerous times, I'm here for the dialogue. If humanity goes extinct, it would not bother me. I doubt it will happen, because I'm slated to live for 44 more years. I don't rush...I just breathe and am. You have to have a goal to rush. If I have any goal, it is to communicate more effectively and to eat more raw food.

Anyway, since you started on a thank you, you're welcome. I'm afraid you've misconstrued my intention and purpose in this game, but you are welcome.

" I am practicing seeing unity"

And the Bards thereof do sing out,
for in the light of continuity,
we can reveal the joy of such sight
and reflect the might of ingenuity!

In perceiving the interactions through web-based channels, I too am taking great enjoyment from the dialogs unfolding. Each link, picture, and word being the evidence-trail of a human heart & mind at work (action, karma) resonates and creates tones in the narrative... quite often, very beautiful, poignant tones!

Only moments ago I was reflecting on certain attitudes of players... attitude as in orientation or angular position to semiotic constructs at play. Some I perceived to be very caught up in the points system, while others leaned toward a more detached mode of play. This shed light on the spectrum of perceived value overlaying a substrata of utilitarian value, as I saw it, and I took delight in how this is accounted for in the game. These spectrums were anticipated by the Designer, and actually harnessed in the game mechanics. I'm reeling with bliss, but it's all so much self-involvement until I take up the spark at set it to action in concert with others.

Already I see so many changed and uplifted by the process of the game... sure there are a multitude of practical operations to carry out, always more needs to address, perpetual challenges to engage. But for now, at this point, through the carrot of gaming dangled in the face of donkey civilization, we have been coaxed into a better state than we were before the game! And with play unfolding as it is, it has n-dimensions of room to build.

Indeed, Michael -- we are the Alchemical changes. As above, so below!

Fourth of July on the Lake

This past weekend was the annual celebration at the lake house in Connecticut. It is amazing that the lake is still so clear and beautiful after all these years. The watershed association has done a wonderful job protecting these waters from the damaging effects of development.The wood grill was finally ready to cook on, so we didn't miss the propane tank fueled grill anymore. The food actually tasted fresher than in the past and was easy to keep fueled.Dad was very proud of the solar hybrid…See More

Stinging Nettle

In this blog post I will focus on a plant that is abundant in our nature, and which is immensely nutritious. It's of course the Stinging Nettle. Let's start with the chemical constituents of this plant:37 % Non-Nitrogen-Extracts19 - 29 % Ash9 - 21 % Fiber4 % Fat22 % ProteinOnce the leaves are drid, their protein content can reach an astounding 40 %, which is much higher than beef, which even under the best of circ**stances can never exceed 31 % protein. In addition the Stinging Nettle consists…See More

Future

FutureToday is 2020/1/1. It is just like yesterday. The war is still continuing. It has started since 2010. In 2010, that year was a horrible year. Almost every energy ran out. Every country’s governments were crushed down at the same time. There were riots everywhere. All of the big company’s bosses were killed xdeadx in the riots. Troops fought each other everywhere. Food was bought up xawayx at once. There were no more food supplies in any shops. The economy was all crushed down. All the…See More

public servants

The exchange works directly for state and public workers and servants. It gives them credit in exchange for the amount of public work they contribute to the community. The more constructive they are based off a base rate the more credit they recieve.
