World Stew

This little something is cool, way cool, über cool, whatever, just look at it.  Pretty please?

See, this little globe is doing more than just rotating around to show you who posts what from where, although that bit is interesting all by itself.  I see a world spinning twirling whirling about, community expressed by flashes of input, the density matching the position and passion of the day/night demarcation, social climate, and political tensions.  It makes the world seem so small, the community so large.  I see us bound together, being alive, in love with being here.  I see a good gig.

But I want a whole lot more.  I want buttons added for other inputs: buttons to select postings to Gaia or WordPress or Rethos, to mark battles or love-ins, buttons to point out random acts of kindness, first kisses, or first 'I love you' utterances, ones to show the dark and the light in us, the suffering and the joy.

And I want yet even more.  I want the fanciful.  I want two-way buttons.  Click a button to send food here, talk to a dolphin here, change the wording of some leader's war speech here and transform it into a peace speech, buttons to free Macedonia from sand sharks, spark uncontrollable laughter, hugs, and horniness, or squelch anger, buttons to just let us be.  And I want it now.

On the other hand we have this.  I never knew that 'large' meant so many things, from the obvious 'big' or 'immense,' to the improbable 'eleemosynary' or 'adipose.'  Why Romania provides the English-speaking world with a comprehensive thesaurus I have no clue, but I'm glad they did. 

If probability theory doesn't make your eyes glaze over this probably (hehe) won't be all that amazing...oh what the hell, it's amazing just the same.  At some point within the transcendental number Pi lies the exact wording of this post, of a love letter you wrote in college, of the Bhagavad-Gita.  The exact point at which it lies depends on what base you use, and the conversion algorithm, but they're all there...somewhere.  For example, Jeannie's dog Willow can find her name beginning at binary digit 56,338,972 (character, 5-bit).  Am I nuts or what?  I mean, how cool is that?

Lastly, I want to expand on Dryad's blog post on global orgasm.  I mean, that's pretty cool in itself, and anything associated with Tantricksta's rumpy-pumpy is okay by me, but again, I want more.  Well...yeah...but I mean the other more too.  I want organized efforts to stop dumbshittedness.  A global antidumbshittedness campaign.   We do this by replacing dumbshittedness with an alternative activity. Think of the world as a cruise ship, and we can all play at being cruise directors.  This would, by definition, include the original GO site, but let's play with our imagination too.  How about days set aside for Global Picnic, Global Sushi Eating, Global Paint a Picture of Your Mother, Global Dress Up, Global Globalism, and more?  I figure that if we can get people involved with anything other than dumbshit activities we're moving rapidly toward Global Chill.  Just 365 events of not shooting, bombing, stabbing each other.  Ahhhh.

More lastly, I'm not writing much these past few days because I'm reading a bunch of books.  Trying to catch up, make up for lost time and all that.  One even has sentences like "Is what Freud called the unconscious actually the latent metaphrand operated on by the manifest metaphier?" and "...the synthesis of the separate hypostases into the unitary consciousness of Phase IV is a different process also."  I'll say!  It's actually a very good book (and here), despite its dense language, and worth your time.

Somehow all this stuff is related.  Somehow.
