Your pussy's glued to a building on fire

Your pussy's glued to a building on fire
I paint my mind just cuz I'm alive
If you see me roaming the hillside
Won't you come along?
You paint your eyes
Mine are in the sky
No worldly word I could say could be golden
The smile on my face isn't always real
But the way you make me feel is all that's really real
You little duck house

by John Frusciante

10 Point Post

The Posthuman Conception of Consciousness: A 10-point Guide by Robert Pepperell

1. Consciousness is not restricted to the brain. / Consciousness is the
function of an organism, not an organ.

2. The human body is not separate from its environment. / Nothing can be
external to a human because the extent of a human cannot be fixed.

3. Consciousness, body and environment are all continuous.

4. Consciousness emerges from specific conditions.

5. Everything is energy.

6. No things exist as separate things in themselves.

7. Language divides us.

8. Language is not all of reality, but part of it.

9. Consciousness is the sum of all the distinctions we make through language.

10. Culture is a way of defragmenting consciousness.

Phase 1: The Geeks and The Greeks - Wage war on your ideas!

'Man is not worried by real problems so much as by his imagined anxieties about real problems'.

Epictetus quoted by C.Wilson (1989) 'Maslow, Sheldrake, and the Peak Experience' in Semiotext[e] SF. New York, Semiotext[e].


To paraphase: 'Men are not worried by things, but by their ideas about things. When we meet with difficulties, become anxious or troubled, let us not blame others, but rather ourselves, that is, our ideas about things.'

Epictetus quoted on-line at http://www.unexplainable.net/artman/publish/article_8929.shtml [accessed 04.04.08]
