I am because I can be...

There is no “cogito ergo sum”: I am because I have in myself my own condition of possibility of “to can be”, I am because I can be, and because I can be: I want to be, I want to go on being, because I am.

occupying... occupying everything, the skies as well...

Today, morning, when I opened the e-mail, my attention was caught by the title of an article: "Occupy the Skies! Protesters Could Use Spy Drones”

http://www.wired.com/dangerroom/2011/11/ows-drones/

I was in a hurry, but did not resist a quick read. Ok, it was just one more article, but, for some reason, my brain “stubborned” in fixating in the title and some flow of thought, with passage by Orwell, Marx and Kant taking place, mixing, later on, with the “rigmalore” of the Sunday mass, transmitted by RTP1...

...I was about to change channel, when the Priest and the respective chorus/flock started asking God to take the “sacrifice of human reconciliation”. Of course, everyone that participated in the mass finalized with a singing “AMEN”.

The surpassing of the indignity constituted, not a joy - the dignity that should be celebrated-, but a sacrifice that a God, apparently, desiring of sacrifices, should accept.

The words of the Priest and the title of the article dragged me to Freud, Foucault and the discourses of power, with (re)course to the narcotizing dogmatic language, articulated by geostrategic calculations of BioPower towards effects of surveillance and respective control of the same power: the power to decide who lives and how who lives should live.

Our risk behaviors have led us to the management of the systemic collapse in the systemic collapse, without us having surpassed the insufficient predatory dynamics of the basic/trivial calculation, ever more alienated in technologies.

Others may occupy the “POWER”, but it will be, as it has been, along the course of the History of the AnimalHuman, more of the same, if we cannot achieve the surpassing of being more intelligent than we, effectively, are..., have been: if we lose, we will all lose, and we will drag with us all the others...

There are no independent rating agencies...

Comment on the Wall Street Journal article:

Manipulation of economic data by Argentina pales in comparison with the US debt issue, with manipulated rating attributed by the compromised big three rating agencies.

There are no independent rating agencies, rating agencies are compromised by their own business and their own political links, just like the Wall Street Journal seems seems (two seems may be sufficient to generalize as pattern with character of necessity).

The fact that the US still has a high rating is a proof that market agents are not able to properly evaluate risk, otherwise they would see the obvious in the big three rating agencies manipulation.

Both some European countries as well as the US should actually get a bad rating/downgrade. To ignore a risk is to open the possibility of collapse, in this case of a global financial collapse coming from the US and affecting several central banks and countries and then the global financial system.

Either there is something more that should be in the above article that is absent, or we are lost in the middle of the sophistic rhetoric of the simulation and the simulacrum, because a “multipolar world economic order” would need human agents that had evolved as much as their technologies, which does not seem to be the case, at least not in an evident way. When we look around us, what is iteratively evident is the growing presence of people anxiously looking forward to alienate their autonomy in their artifacts, eagerly taking their transhumanist chips with their transhumanist pills.

A “multipolar world economic order”, managed by the humans that we know, would have a referent of enacted self-sustainability in permanent point of catastrophe, in which the homeostatic mechanisms for the system’s regeneration would always be under the threat of a clinamen of fragmentation. For this type of economy, it would be necessary that, at cognitive levels, it was processed a type of imperative such as: what happens to the others is not indifferent to me. In any network, the element of contamination is not “bullshit”, it is constitutively intrinsic to the networks’ dynamics.

The only way for such an economy to survive, in terms of self-regeneration and functioning homeostatic mechanisms, would be that it coexisted (simultaneity in the existence) with at least one Space Economy, including, perhaps, Alien Economies…, let then the Disclosure Project come forward, because there’s a lot to be explained here.

Or does the “New World Order” gang who (Biblically) begets these articles with apocalyptic “nuages” believe that the world is sufficiently alienated in the artifacts to be unable to question and understand the obvious?

It would be best to take into account that there are black swans out there, who do not follow the general law of non-thinking. Of course, these are the residual minority, all these black swans have is their thinking in permanent thinking, and the permanent “to think thinking” will certainly be worthless in the “New World Order”, quite the contrary, those will be the first to be pushed into some type of ghetto with a panoptic headlight: “Do Not Exit, under Penalty of Existential Euthanasia, We Fear Contamination”!

...the starry sky above us...

“The starry sky above me...” Kant, “Critique of Practical Reason”

To Kant, it was an "experience of sublime", but the "starry sky" is now closer to us, more accessible.

The "starry sky" perhaps no longer astounds and frightens us, but it may inspire peace, conformity, harmony - a "feeling of Beautiful".

...the starry sky above us, reflexively experienced, in us, as a “conformity to ends” which is expressed in the feeling of intercommunicable harmony, as ´”feeling of life”, by the compatibilization of different noumenic natures that are capable of making emerge a non-schematizable “perceptive pathos”, but reflected as an experience of Good, an experience which is enacted by the aesthetic “feeling of Beautiful”.

What is experienced as Good is not expressible by a form or figure, it is not also a (dis)form..., it is not demonstrative, it is not monstrative,..., but it can be interpreted-there and understood-there with the things-there and in the things-there...

The Good, such as Amazonia’s biodiversity, “escapes the understanding of the numbers” (borrowing a phrase taken from an episode of “Vida Animal” RTP).
