NowHere, NoWhere

now-here and no-where; far away, and closer than my heart; myself and not-me; one and multiple; fleeting images of the world, connect with me!

ICPU - thefore I am

If I were a computer I would constantly have a crash. Or I would always have to fight with a virus. I am so easily infected and I start malfunctioning right away. A small mis-calculation and all my circuits breack down. I really need to scan my system for harmful cookies, viruses, shortcuts, registry entries and free space. And I should really update the newest software so I can do better and do the coolest things.

Maybe one day we will speak about ourselves really with that sort of vocabulary. Are we? I mean, I got a central processing unit. And hey, wait a minute, I am getting infected by viruses. And since we talk about life-long learning (all over sudden it seems so normal, logical), a software-update is exactly that. And all my shortcuts are just the newest and mostuseful thoughts I have. Making a short-cut (to somewhere). Funny that cookies are called cookies. The computer has really become the life-centre of today, since it got connected to the internet via cookies. I am computer. Now I really need to scan my system if I want to engage into some serious human resource management.

My language will change, my life does change, and the things I see and touch have become different. Buaaa, I don't want to become a computer ... please help me! I am really going to be afraid of viruses from now on. Machines are not becoming human, humans are becoming machine.

And if you don't believe me ... search (just in google for the following words); silicon, human resource management, silicon laser, LCD (silicon), cyborg (silicon), silicon cycle etc. and the like.

Welcome to the World of Silicon! The Cyborg, the human-machine, is the dream of the Industrial Age, the Age of Steel and Carbon. The Computer Age, the Age of Silicon and Light will give birth to a machine-human ... What name can we give it? Start searching now!!!

le plĂ­

i have always wondered about the people that need to start something. there was a time in my life in which i always thought i need to start something. in the sense of being the master of mine own. being an inventive person. being a creative person. i always thought this means i have to be able to deduct and construct things out of my own being. as if i could come up, all by myself, with the theory of relativity, or with algebra, or maths, or physics, or any good idea in general. i am still infected by this disease of having to be powerful and trying to unleash the so called hidden forces within me.

on the other hand i have really had a good laugh about people who said that creativity is the mere recombination of previously available resources. and just by recombining the old, something new evolves. and just for the record, this idea really lacks the explaination of how new letters, languages, ideas, cultures etc suddenly pop up in history.

So both choices are not really an option, for both lack the truth/explaination of and about the other. Thus, not just combining and amalgamizing the two, is finally making a sudden jump to another place. Life is not a probability-tree, with a starting point and a direction. Because a tree always has a root! And only if we see the root, do we see the whole tree. And a tree does not grow from the bottom. It grows from the middle. Everything is a middle! Everything is inbetween.

Life is always an inbetween. We are never at the end of a branch. We are always between. We never arrive. We are always on the move. Constant motion. My math teacher always said; the only thing constant in life is change. NOW, that is a good-working thought.

Feel the bottom, feel the top of the tree. The choices in life are always two-fold.
