¡Ya Basta!

I am no techno-utopian. These people who think technology will solve all our problems are fucking nuts and drive me crazy with their idealistic salivating over gadget-solutions to what are structural political-economic-mental issues. Nonetheless, there is a lot to be learned from intelligent thinking and non-traditional approaches to serious issues. This guy has some good ideas. Some great ideas. And that is why none of them will be implemented. The powers that be have no interest in de-centralized solutions to global problems, only solutions that consolidate control. Buckminster Fuller had hundreds of ideas that could have revolutionized the world and almost none of them were implemented because they were too good, and most dangerously, they were too liberating. We can though, take the ideas of idealistic engineers who are busy creating technical solutions to what are principally political problems, and implement their ideas ourselves. Local solutions, community planning, self sufficiency. No gains are ever made because of the benevolence of the powerful, all gains are earned, demanded, and taken by the people. The police state is looming but thoughtful revolutionaries can judo flip the Enemy’s goose step.
