Who is this? It's Mr.Electric Salesman...

Electricity is what makes the machines work. Especially, electronics. It's energy, power. But why is it wired in from everywhere, who knows where? Why have a gigantic, gnarly mess of powerlines sprawling all over the damn place? It's a little bit completely inefficient, doncha think?

Why have all that, when you can have a locally-based electric generating device and power everything you need! (we have those in the future and we love it)

The reasons for the mess of the 21st Century:

1. Planned obsolescence
2. Greed of the utility companies (they are an establishment institution)
3. Collusion between the power companies and the manufacturers of electric-hungry machines
4. Just plain stupidity on the part of all those fiddling with electricity in any way, from inventors to meter readers to municipal governments... all the way up to the federal agencies.
   

Stay tuned for more info on how to solve this problem.

What it's like... BEING LOST

I'm lost, which translates as, You're lost too.

I'm trying to wake you up by letting you know my situation, which is your situation too.

We're all stuck wandering in this World Wide Web wasteland. I mean, you're here reading this, aren't you?

Allow me to bring to your awareness - THIS is a primitive technology that destroys so much of your fleeting life... yet replaces it with a mesmerizing new experience. That's why it goes unnoticed. Something is taken away and replaced with a blinding light - an electronic glare that blinds us.

I'm not saying all this to try to dumb you down, nor to try to take you away from technology... I'm saying this because we're cut out for much, much more than what we're getting. The problem is that we think we're making progress, we think technology is constantly changing and therefore advancing. Yet the plain truth is that it AIN'T! It's stagnating, all that changes is on a superficial level and planned obsolescence rules the day. We have become addicted to bland, deadening experiences of culture. It's time to find our way out of this sick cycle. Let's commit to this.

Now all you have to do is jump back to another website to keep looking for whatever you're looking for and --- periodically come back to check in with my blog. [we're not going to find our way out immediately, it's gonna take a few years at least]
