About Time! yell Media

Yes, given that the media can only purvey what it somehow imagines people want to see and hear, the people have to allow themselves to be gaplessly convinced that it is in fact what they want to see and hear, even though 99% of it is quite obviously trash, lies and waste of materials. (Is that a portrait of 'the Consumer'?) Anyway, they apparently have all left it up to Fud, the Newspaper from Nowhere, to 'tell it like it is,' - if that's at all possible.

Few readers can have any idea of just what an enormous and difficult task this is. In fact, we venture our opinion that it's most probably a superhuman task.

Take the ghastly record of history as your guide: the centuries, the millenia of compacted ignorance that have been necessary to produce the incredibly high standard of human being---ourself, no less---that we have strutting about all over the planet today.

Now what does this latest and greatest development of the dinosaur know or care about anything that is not straightforward self-indulgence? And quite right, for what is life except self-indulgence? If you're lucky! Isn't that what it's all about, once you've got the problem of survival sorted? Of course it is.

So What's for Sale?

Nothing at all. No profit will go to the producers of Fud because they simply don't deserve any for writing stuff like this. But almost anyone with the gift of literacy in the present language should be able to read and enjoy this wee Newspaper because it says so much that all the others don't.

Actually, Fud is an information exchange that goes far beyond the smug propaganda and inanities of State radio and TV. The fact is that mankind urgently needs to undergo radical change in its entire pattern. The big question is how can this come about? The Great Meteorite Hope is no good,because it would be too quick for anyone to appreciate the results satisfactorily, even though it might solve the problem definitively.

Can one be perfect?

Does perfection imply being saintly, wanting little or even nothing? A kind of asexual existence as far from people as possible? A deity to apologise to continually for not being perfect? What is perfection?

The word means ‘thoroughly, completely done, complete,’ which definition applies exactly to our own world, what each perceives, including whatever is going on. Have you noticed that everything is ‘there’ already, the whole of appearance, as you recognise it and begin your action sequence - ‘here’s me going to the kitchen’ or whatever. So, we ‘come to’ with the stage-set already in place, and how we proceed is up to sensitivity, initiative, openness to hints, requirements of the moment etc. Seen in this way, ‘appropriate responding’ would perhaps be close to the meaning sought. Being accurate, the character, the player of the part, could be said to be completely responsible. Is it possible to do better than this?
