My Future Self and Me.

We spend our lives chasing after who we want to be in the future. And today is never tomorrow so we are never who we think we are.

Late Night Quotations. No.19

"The only way the lord has ever disciplined us is through fear. Kill a man and you impress a few people who already believe anyway. Kill a multitude and you can convince a nation."

-Larry Cohen's God Told Me To

"The first man, who, after enclosing a piece of ground , took it into his head to say, this is mine, and found people simple enough to believe him, was the real founder of civil society."

-Rousseau

A.S.P.

I am hereby calling for the creation of an Anarchist Space Program (ASP for short). All opportunities for autonomy having been extinguished on the planet Earth, it is now necessary to take to the stars, literally. Groups and teams of tinkerers and pirates should plunder and invent their way into orbit. They should continue their trials until it becomes possible to sustain, and eventually generate life beyond the gravity of Earth. The Space Anarchists should not strive to colonize other planets or stars, for if they can make the journey there, it is only a matter of time before the real-estate agents touch down. They should drift freely through space creating art and music unique among the whole of the cosmos; not merely to survive uninhibited, but to create. To generate culture in the vacuum; completely free of all the controls but necessity. If they should be considered outlaws and ordered to stop (or worse, pay) under the laws that rule the Earth, then war should be declared on the Earth and the astro-anarchists should fight until dead or free. If humans attempt to extend their control into the vastness of space, then we truly deserve whichever fate befalls us. Be it death by disease, starvation, nuclear war, or the complete destruction of the planet's ecology; most likely a combination of all the above factors. Our only future lies in space, but our only hope will have to come from Earth.

Stacking

You can spend your time walking or reading, but it wont stack up to nothing.

Stopping

Life for me is a constant effort to remind myself that I need not stop learning.

As They Are.

If we refuse to be employed and are unmotivated to work for ourselves, what is left for us but food, death, and entertainment?

We must find the things in life that drive us to perfection. Work at those things until they run out; then either die or admire the scenery.
