I don’t think it’s a coincidence that Vallee is among the most lucid of the mid-century ufologists. The modern internet does to the global mind what a close encounter does to individual minds.

Band name of the day: watcher at the gates of mind
‘Free your mind and your ass will follow’ is absurdly optimistic. Freedom of mind is necessary but not sufficient for freedom of ass. In the short term, wokeness makes your life harder because you become aware of how bad things are.

Hot take: smashing the state of mind (i.e., producing the mental and cultural conditions for statelessness) goes beyond class consciousness & requires almost everybody to ‘get’ social dynamics in cybernetic terms, at scale. It’s an anti-specialization; heuristics won’t suffice. Communities exist that already do this (ex., kink).

@webi@twtxt.opstack.info If you don’t mind me asking, how did you find out about twtxt?
There are so many alternatives like ipfs or scuttlebutt, but i fear that we loose the simplicity of the old protocols. That in my mind is the main attraction of twtxt.
