During my academic years I was labeled as an anti-modernist while I thought that if anything I was a post-modernist. A label is a concptualisation of beeing. I understand the effort, but still can’t decide if I like the effort. The modern expression of government, social organisation, ideology, so called development, science all had a critical break point intrinsic to their nature. this was the perception of a critical eye and mind that could foresee and not believe in the eternity of the categories of modernity.
Now, communism died in most of its nationalist expressions, not all, so did liberal democracy in a number of equal nationalist expressions, as did capitalism that like communism committed suicide by over doing it. What’s dying next? Pure form, without substance. Substance is advancing from a barely perceived embryo, once dressed by any ideenkleid, to a shape full of significance. what once was an intuition is now becoming the blossom of social, economic, scientific change, or better, final evolution which will pull the human race out of the rat race and put it to a better use. Humans will start using neurons to evolve and not to implode, as long as it is not too late.

Yes, I wish I had time to update the blog as often as thoughts spring in my mind. But it is pure utopy seen the amount of things I manage in my every day life. I chose to have this place for myself, so the rare readers that come across the posts (about 700 according to stats and since end of 2006) are already a surprise. Semantically attracted by the earthly provocations, they read, perhaps reflect. Writing a couple of sentences is all the time I have. Neverthless, one theme is going to be tackled more in depthb over the coming months. Oligarchies for the near future, few human beings that already today are gathering around some arts forms and styles (rock, surrealism, etc.) driven by a profound humanistic belief, scattered throughout the 5 continents and evolving, becoming through an entropic and looping rite of passage: Cogito ergo fio, I think therefore I become. They use the ever renewing forms of knowledge and keep ahead of them like they were surfing an unending wave. They don’t keep it for themselves for their own materialistic sake, but disseminate it filtering what is appropriate for each person needing and deserving it. They know the same as many others, but are capable of expanding the relevant and forgetting the irrelevant. This principle permeates all aspects of life, like the 99% reality physics senses but cannot measure. Since the dawn of history many have acted according to this principle but no one seems to know exactly because it was not an earthly show, it was the motor of history. It moves everything, it fuels everything, so this principle is capable of converting all negative tendencies to positive evolution. In specialist work environments it changes negative economic trends to positive ones. This is actually my real job, I exorcise work communities in the technical merit and not on the superficial training level and turn the destiny of f*#?!d up companies to gold. Applied to human communities it does the same. An alchemical approach to modern life, to which this blog will now be dedicated. If I were to simply publish many years of research and writings I would do it for myself. My idea is therefore not to profit from this simple principle which all know but don’t use, or better many pretend to depict in costly texts, lectures and media to enphasise the centrality of themselves. No one is at the center anymore if not the cohesion and evolution of mankind itself. As it always was, nothing I or anyone invented, really. Time is now, though, to slow down the mad race towards a headbang into the wall of history. How numerous the reactions, comments to this blog etc. does not matter. What counts is the classical web metrics of the conversion rate. People reading/people understanding/people enacting the principle. The same things have been, as i said, been scattered in texts and arts over the ages in many forms and places from sufism, to buddhism, to all religions and some modern science. I don’t pretend to recapitulate, but expand the basic concepts in a totally random manner that stimulates everyday actions and interactions. The same I did since 1988 in my first post on an american BBS under a well known nick, in my very first web page in 1993 when I lived in London and had a ISP (Internet Slow Provider) called bogomipunder a nick called the cook of globalism, etc.. So nothing new for myself either. Just the time has come to push hyper-realism out of the closet and use this blog more seriously, not always since a big slice of etherean reality is a great sense of fulfilling pleasure. By the way, I am a neapolitan by birth (mergellina) and growth (capri and vesuvius) and the seed of my personal evolution in the world is rythmed by the stereotipical aspect of being linked to the bad guys is postmodern mystification. Actually, we conceal a much more significant strength within us, a very deep culture comparable to many eastern, african and latin and native american people coupled with an usurpassable capability to sense and read reality as well as an hability to influence otherness rather than fear it and dismiss it.
