Tracing Our Own Constellations
The Age of Horus offers ample employment opportunities in the field of demolition. The entire Enlightenment and the great edifice of Science Herself are more of an obstacle than a foundation for us now. Allowing our outdated paradigms, social systems and vested interests to crumble into decay is dangerous to pedestrians. We need to take them out in a systematic way, pretty much ASAP.
It’s not so much that I disagree with you about what the data points mean — it’s that I don’t think our data points matter. We’re still in the brainstorming phase, here. We still need to find the right geometry of “weird” facts and anomalous patterns to make the New Revelations click, but we can say with confidence that our ignorance outstrips our knowledge. This inherently makes the future a smarter place to be, right?
I’m betting that remixing at random with cultivated content — or Glass Bead Gaming — will prove a more fruitful approach for 2010 than actually engaging in the usual synthesis cycle. There are smarter kids who will work the details out later. We don’t have to be experts, but we do have to be creative. Keep it moving, too…if you get stuck on the same shit too long, you wind up doing speaking tours, writing books, and marching towards death still talking about an idea you had in your twenties. There comes a time to let go, and that time is always now.
I am learning to like being wrong. I think this is an important skill. Scientists have all the facts but no real answers, and mystics are always right but only on meaningless issues. In assessing human potential, our Invisible College is faced with a wealth of contradictory data, much of it deliberate distortions and disinformation. I see my own Work in these early months being the collection and synthesis of the galaxy full of factoids spiraling around the concept of ESP and human psychic capacity.

“Find the Others,” said the Doctor. But why exactly? To make us all better off or just to lure us all out into the open?
