Not too terribly long ago, I completed filming of what I think I shall dub "The Worst Documented Evidence of Paranormal Activity Ever". I shall leave the actual so-called "content" to the reader's imagination.

[Bitscape responds to a talk request on rage.]

[Bitscape discusses overplayed music.]

[Bitscape listens to the Moby pumping out of the speakers at a healthy volume.]

[Bitscape takes a bite of watermelon.]

[Bitscape notes that tonight's mythology will be a rerun of "Last of the Centaurs", and decides it would be a good one to watch again on this night.]

[Bitscape copies text between the talk session and the rambling.]

[Bitscape downloads some so-called music that he suspects he is likely to dislike, but downloads it anyway.]

Today I read another chapter from The Post-Corporate World (the book I rambled about ridiculously late into the night not long ago). In this chapter, the author gives about ideas as to what a future society that embraces the wisdom of nature might look like (contrasted with the cancerous corporate rule of today).

If I were to summarize, I would say that much of it sounds like something straight out of Boulder. In this ideal world, ownership of everything would be local, as would most government decisions. Neighborhoods would be built such that all of life's everyday needs would be within walking distance. Cars would not be necessary. Even food would be produced in nearby farms, so massive transports would not be required. The "absentee ownership" policies of our Wall Street economy would be a thing of the past.

I read it with mixed feelings, because in a way, it sounds like going backwards. A loss of the glut of mass produced goods we have become addicted to. The book even acknowledges this, that it would mean parting with much that has come to define our modern world. But is it not the natural result of what we (some of us) say we want? An end to the senseless top-down bureaucracy, the shallow meaninglessness of buzzwords without purpose, the tyranny of the intellectual property thugs, and the service of the allmighty dollar at the expense of all else? What would it look like if these things were dissolved?

Well, I've still got two parts left to read, so it will be interesting to see what else he has to say.

That's all. I'm gonna go watch some television.
