∞ What is a self? How do we discern intelligence from a conversion gambit, reccognize dead language on masquerade as god, or intelligently resist something like hypnosis?

Can a self ‘have’ a dream, or is something rather like the opposite happening? From where ‘should’ we orient a relatively ‘fictional’ self, stranded in swarms of seething and conflicting imperatives, urgencies, responsibilities, and so on?

What are books, words and statements? When and where are they useful or deadly? How do we understand with or relate with Authority? Are we capable of verifying it prior to simply submitting? Who gets credentials, and why?

There’s a framework game at play (and one that collapses them) and we need to begin to see into the structure and properties of the game and its origins before we have any chance to do much other than be dominated by it.

We need to become experts with the the stuff that comes before technologies and frameworks. And to do this, we have to begin questioning them in new ways together.

With and for each other.
