the new ape society
March 23rd 2008 03:12
In the new ape society much communication was done with sounds, especially through the use of language
Through the use of language, thought could be converted with unprecedented clarity into a form which could enter the mind of another ape. However, it is very important to note that this conversion of thought into sounds is only considered appropriate when used as communication with other apes. There are very few circumstances under which it is considered appropriate for one to pronounce the language in one's head out loud. This is refered to as "talking to one's self" and is often considered as a sign of insanity, the lowest social rank assignable.

the need
December 22nd 2007 13:44
What do I want to express? I want to express exactly what I want to hear. That way, if there is someone out there who thinks the same as I do, they will think its awesome.
What do I really want to hear? I want to hear people say, I can see it, we've all had our minds messed with, we are not free, we are not ourselves, we are not real, we are not the real us, we have been brainwashed. An entire system was in place to send us messages, usually in order that we would want to buy things. But in passing on this message, was also a formula as to how to live our lives, what to expect in the future, the whole 'work sucks but we all accept that that's just how society works[ Click here to read more ]

It is a futuristic dystopia. There is no life except for human life, the planet is dead. There is no sun. We block it all. We require the use of 100% of the sunlight to power our civilization. It's a drab colourless world. Totally. The buildings are all square and shit with all the exact same greyish coloured walls. Everything is in straight uncomplicated square shapes. people mill about in colourless body suits which take care of all their bodily functions. Including moving their muscles, running their digestive system, all that shit. The energy powering this suit also takes into account your energy intake from food, and this is how it is decided how much of the work is being done by your biological body and howmuch by the suit, it's all one big system. Most people don't eat food, it is considered a novelty to eat a meal, many do it for "cultural" reasons (much like the way a tourist in india might have taken a yoga lesson in the 02000's).
The people, however, inhabit an exciting, bubbling and alive world. The walls are ablaze with neon colours, everything is tagged and labbeled, they are living in an augmented reality, but it is the internet. But everybody inhabits a slightly different world. There is no reality as to what is going on in the "real world". There is no real world. Politics, culture, news, jobs, the state of the world. It's different in all of them, people are not sure what the level of sharedness is at exactly, but one can assume that one will share 50% worldfeatures with 50% of the people one meets (however, this is widely believed to be skewed by the growing five sects/cultus whose members all inhabit absolutely identical worlds, they each claim to different extents to be a collective consciousness, the next stage in evolution, a spiritually transcendent being) For the rest of the population[ Click here to read more ]

The grocery store of the future
October 23rd 2007 12:00
It's post apocalyptic. There's a bunch of rednecks toting their guns talking about something to do with doing stuff for god and for country. There's a bunch of hippies who think they have attained global consciousness and feel they are living in harmony with the earth, they have merely come to fix their connection tower, which is a radiotower, but it is a live tree. There are some previously great corporations, finding going a little tough without all their privileges.
You shop at the local grocery store, but it is not indoors, it is not on a street, it is not out in the open. It is a patch of the woods where all sorts of foods are grown. A small pond surrounded closely by some tiny trees, the whole area is covered with what looks like a morning mist, indeed it is quite cold over there, and that is where all sorts of cold fresh vegetables are growing there. The whole area is a bunch of different micro-climates, each with a budding bounty of delicious delights, all abuzz with the movement of the shopers, human and non-human alike. There are some gluttons who never leave. But this is not any shop you would ever recognise, indeed if you went there you would not know you were in a shop. You would look around and see everybody eating and carrying things about the shop, but you would never see anybody pay for anything[ Click here to read more ]

the possibility of an island
October 7th 2007 16:20
Are you sitting comfortably? I think it's important. So many people sit at their computers at a desk on an office chair. What, are you at work? Do you sit in front of the TV like that? Do you sit like that at a picnic? Do you sit like that when you are hanging out with your friends? Do you sit like that when you are having a good time? I'm not saying that posture effects your state of mind, I'm saying that it is an indicator of your state of mind, allows us to see what assumptions you are holding about your situation.
As you read these words, as you hear them sounding in your head, who is talking? You or me? We would tend to say that it's me talking, I wrote the words, after all. But this would seem strange on further inspection, since the voice is decidedly in your head. It is unmistakably your voice, your tone, your emphasis, your brain. If it is me talking, then I am talking from within you, as you. Am I performing some form of telepathy? Using my mind to alter your mind? This is precisely what communication is, but we don't often think of it in this way, we think of my brain with an arrow to my throat and lungs with an arrow coming out of my mouth and into your ear and to your brain. But really the two brains are affecting each other directly, they need not be mediated by successive compressions of air, or the variations between a small snippet of the EM spectrum, except by a fluke of evolution these evolved as a way of perceiving things. If we had an organ which could produce controlled pulses of EM waves, not necessarily in the visible light range, just like we have organs for creating waves of air, and if we had an organ for perceiving those waves and taking messages about the waves into the brain, just as we have for vibrations in the air, then we'd have a whole new way of talking to each other[ Click here to read more ]

Animation script

the setting, a permaculture forest.
The chicken walked decidedly into frame, pecking at the ground, and moving about as if in a day dream. But as you see closer into the chicken's eye it seems to flash with the thought that it may be daydreaming. As the picture zooms out from the chicken's eye it slows and allows the focus to come to the sliver of a child's eye poking out from behind the base of a tree. The Child reddies herself and swiftly moves to grab the chicken which springs to action, avoiding capture in a flurry of screeches and bustling feathers[ Click here to read more ]
