I wonder...

1 

does sophistication today,  or a cultural sophistication, come through an ability analyse microscopically material production to such a subtle connotative extent of meaning (sign and signifier)

why can meaning not be more inherent? why this elitism of material understanding

2

 synchronicity

uncanny or recanny?

3

about the dialectic and language of ridicule

4

ALL PROCESSES AT THE LOWER LEVEL OF A HIERARCHY ARE RESTRAINED BY AND ACT IN CONFORMITY TO THE LAWS OF THE HIGHER LEVEL.

5the ideological arrogance of the artist---

is it perhaps evolution, and therefore inevitable?

that more and more young people consider themselves artists- because the are feeding off the growing collective conscious tell us that "life must be rebuilt as a sculpture" Beuys

the majority of investigations in this research have been largely conspiratorially led; the unearthing of a concealed truth, unmasking the ulterior motives of  those who most stand to profit, etc.

this further goes to show the significance of the issues at stake.

i just want the apocalypse to happen in front of my disintegrating eyes so that I can say, "I fucking knew it".

 taking as an example the inexplicability of natural instinct (the supersensory ability to preemptively identify dangerous situations- poison and antedote)- were this primordial ability to be curbed by man in his civilisational quest, is it possible that it now manifests itself in other forms- guessing answers in multiple choice questions, knowing who is about to send you a telephone call etc.

conspiracy of mediocrity

are television programs made with the cynical intention to  hypnotise the populace into a state of lulled indifference ?  are we being battery farmed by the evil cabal pulling the new world order string?

or perhaps this is instead the work of ahriman?

tv execs are simply doing the best they can for themselves, doing what sells and following the modernist progressive ethos- but it is those ahrimanic spirits installed in modern technology that instead invoke this apathy and laziness and ignorance.

THE ARROGANCE OF ARTISTIC PRACTISE OVER ALL OTHER PRACTICES

art serving as a nostalgic reminder of the freedoms experience before civilisation- a portal of consciousness 

12 

is there an answer to anything anymore??

is the best one can do simply offer insight?

the academic exercise is to study the conclusions of others throughout history, analyse them to the degree that we form our own conclusions. In the fields of natural and social sciences, and in the theoretical spheres of humanities and the arts, hypotheses are constantly being corrected, tweaked, undergoing reanalysis and recontextualisation. Where does this process end? Most probably there will never be an suitable answer, and we should stop trying- at least under the current modes of learning. perhaps the answers are more kinetically understood, more anthroposophic. 

ANTHROPOSOPHIC- PRIVATE EDUCATIONAL CULT

13 

finding this book, like many of the others, on the shelf (amsterdamexhibit) of the brotherton, has included most of the scientists I have already encountered. is this syncronicity? is there a purpose for me writing this essay?

or is it simply causational? have i, as and art student, mearly recognised the kind of scientist that the art community would interest themselves with?

14 What better way to address the certes catastrophic problems of global war and ecological suicide then to allegorise it in a terrying and romanic psychic apocalyptic illusion?

art psience

15 

all disciplines of human endeavor, art included, are governed by the arbitrary laws of subjectivity and objectivity of science. 

are SUBJECTIVITY and OBJECTIVITY totally interchangeable words???

16 

the search for spirituality or higher meaning and the escape from the banal through culture and the cultural banal

17

18

 where are we headed? where is the future? as we are being stripped of all ancient clutches, are we moving further into the cleansed scientific (science fiction) Gattican world of protocol and economic system? is this the route back to Ontos- to clear the mind of all distraction until we eventually, through rigorous evolutionary  programming, reach nirvana?

19 

the search for truth is the search for self. knowing who you are- if I don't know where I'm coming from, where do I go? the old cliche strikes true when subscribing to the the theory of a collective consciousness... why are the french more willing to revolt and strike than the english? what brings about national characteristic?

 INSPIRATION COMES AS A RESULT OF CONSTRICTION, OR,, AWARENESS OF CONSTRICTION ON A  CONSCIOUS LEVEL . INSPIRATION IS THEREFORE  A PSYCHIC EVENT.

 Between OCCULTISM and MYSTICISM

 ANTHROPOSOPHY

 to laugh is to understand

23 

notice how in our technological culture we can enthusiastically embrace Gibson's cyper-punk vision of voodoo and evil far more readily than we can Steiner theosophical visions of angels and grace. in literature dystopias are always far more compelling than vapid clerical visions of heavenly virtue
