nearly every conversation is an opportunity but that always depends on the conversation & those conversing.

I'm buying 2 issues of the invisibles just so I could lend a copy out . . .

alot of people I'm around seem to be of that sort of mental bend with only details to differ on.

Oh and then there's my own comic strip & the subliminal stuff I sneak into the Magazine I design for . . .

Still I'm somewhat known for the being somewhat weird among the weird & that's been quite fun.

When I met Grant, he was really pushing the idea of the Invisibles as a catalyst to get people up off their couch and out doing something. I'm not sure if his vision quite matches reality.

It's one thing to wonder which 70s TV show is represented in panel 3 of issue 12 V3, and quite another to understand it as a whole and try to go out and perpetrate some 'ontological terrorism' of your own.

We're looking at some bad times ahead for us and the whole planet. Fossil fuels predicted to run out in the next 25-30 years. Seven billion people on this ball. Somebody has to do something, someone has to act as an alarm clock.

If we limit ourselves to minor discordian acts, such as playing with traffic signs W H A L.

If we plan real subversion on a public forum W H A L.

This is a place to thrash out an ideology that we can commit to, and maybe an agenda of what can be opposed successfully.

I think we are on the way.

I feel like it's almost my duty to do something. There are people who are going to prison or getting killed for their beliefs and we sit in front of our computers and buy our comics somehow thinking it's enough. I'm making generalisations which are probably untrue, but...

if the world IS made of words what we all seem to have in abundance is the gift of comunication.

We have to retell the story of our reality!

And continue to do so untill there are sooooo many layers & permutations that upon casual inspection there can be nothing but that story.

Has anyone heard of the 100th monkey theory?

In short (and this is probably a perfect exapmle of a story told so many times it's reached mythic proportions) the theory suggests that if a critical number of a given species reaches a new understanding then that understanding will arise into the species as a whole, with out the need of some form of information transfer.

With each person that begins thinking "invisibly" the whole of human nature is just a bit closer to having Invisible Thinking as a normal trait.

Beyond that . . . throwing parties is both alot o fun and a lot o work.
