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.
•The idea of moving forward towards some goal is just a thought-scenario. The future exists only in thought.
•The mind is always trying to develop something.
•In the absence of grasping, it is there – the reflection you always wanted.
•Why are we consumers? Because we totally depend upon input.
•The desperation with which people grasp each other - for identity.
•Posture: Take it seriously (actually stand straight) and relax into it.
