Here I introduce
the first part of the third chapter, on next weeks I will be busy enough to
deal with this strange text. However, I expect you to enjoy and assist to my
veritable challenging.
—Chapter
three;
Stay Alert
“The
English live with the turmoil of two
incompatible passions:
a strange
appetite for adventure
and a strange
appetite for legality”
Jorge Luis Borges [Chesterton and the Labyrinths of the Detective Story]
In the last
chapter I tried to make a well-structured text but I failed miserably, the
text was shattered mixing concepts and feelings. It derived from my lack of
idiomatic knowledge, my leaning to the chaos and by living myself on this
conflict, until now, too dreadful to dwell on. I walk chuffed through
the quicksand of the human condition as a struggle for freedom but no for equality or harmony. It’s not possible to be
unaware of the historical experience of human being neither hold harmless the
own lifespan. This tough reminder of the struggle for coexistence between
Others by addressing the dimension of present time configured my second shattered
chapter.
I also tried to
continue one fact from the first chapter, intelligence alike accumulations of information,
and bodies. As it happens in modern business enterprises –flexibility, market uncertainty- we have lots of generations entitled to love by an
artificial intelligence and data analytics, Tinder, love easily
compartmentalized into a folder, followers. Information cheated by an Instagram
filter, and vouched by instant messengers. An illusion of multiple relationships, long-distance relations, old and new generations toying with
emotions but most of all toying with their own sense.
According to the
domination’s speech modality, the Power
mould our language
turning it a phoney factory of truths. In Spain, there was one very important thing which
I learned from; how to proceed from a long dictatorship into a -respectful and tolerant- state of democracy through the murky waters of a cogni-totalitarian
regime. “What is controlled is tolerated, and what is feared is
respected, a tolerant society is a society that tends to be dominated and must
be repressed. And as such, the electoral fraud game is seen the only option/opinion.”
In Spain I had been taught how easy it is to shift the very forms of organization
and struggle of the revolt in one step; invoking the emotional intelligence to prevent
a critical and constructive knowledge. I understand language as a text tool. But
Power modifies its surface and designs an Orwellian “newspeak”. This surface
is what separates us as subjects from the archive that it signifies. We can’t
underestimate the value of language and how it strongly refers to us like a solidified
datascape. Primarily, during the
permanent state of alert of the last 40 years, which has two
objectives; legitimize the clustering of wealth and to boycott effective
measures to prevent the upcoming ecological catastrophe. The 1970s can be seen
in retrospect a transition -from space age to new age- caused by the culture
shock of seeing the images of Earth taken from the Moon. This sense of cosmic
insignificance is not uncommon neither the culture shock. Gods were developed from
this entry point. In recent decades a bemused humanity mutualized his apparent
insignificance by blinking screens through and through. So a new standpoint
transcends our parochial, and anthropocentric perspective; a new factory of
truth. The dissolution of language parallels the shattering of the self into
the new age. Age of information? Not at all, rather texts-to-be-seen than texts-to-be-read. Anyway, our biggest historical failure
has been to not have followed the wording of our dreams, neither build it according
to our own measure, our gauge of the distribution of the sensible.
For after all it
is of little value to have built a room
of one’s own if we are drown to kill the narrator.
To finish this
recap of speed texts and the ordinary regimes of (re)production
of truths I ought to say that feminism; the feminist movement is the most
important incorporation against Capitalism. It designates to us that the roles
of domination are social and cultural constructions that are scholarly,
internalized, reproduced and transmitted from generation to generation. However,
the ruling feminism
only provokes political, linguistic and cultural changes that strengthen
capitalism in its restructuring, not attacking what is inherent in it, such as
private property and inheritance, or the State and its laws. Patriarchy persuades itself the notion
of being rotten and weakened due to the key victories of
feminist movements in recent decades. In reality, domestic violence, sexist
discrimination, and feminicide continue to increase.
THE dynamizing alarm
For first time in the
earthling history, capitalism, is teetering as well neoliberalism does.
Although the inherent capacity of States to put a human face on allows to lengthen its representation, that pretty human face is the nation as cultural identity and its valuation into Capital eventually.
Instead of the reach of the peoples’ heritage; historic, cultural (no-profitable). At first the social matter has been co-opted by the
Nation favouring a narrow-minded individualism, placing social functions in a
well-structured honeycomb and accommodating the human algorithms in
motion. This change has happened in just a century. In a glance we should be
awareness that only a century ago writing a letter was a crucial question of
remaining close to people. “The ease possibility of letter-writing must—seen
theoretically— have brought into the world a disintegration of souls to the
world” wrote Franz Kafka in
his last letter to Milena, because it is a contextual conversation with ghosts;
and not only with the ghost of the receiver, but also with the own ghosts. In
the current state of alert, the ITC (information and communication technologies) often offer things that have already been chewed. The
first glimpses dynamiting interpreters to make an effort at personal observations.
Today the collective vertigo is unavoidable by this speed fisting media
communication.
A man who
published lavish praises to new-technology in his 1950’s 1960’s was Marshall
Mcluham, among his mentors were Edgar Allan Poe and G.K Chesterton whom in turn
did before. “The older training of observation has become quite
irrelevant in this new time, because it is based on psychological responses and
concepts conditioned by the former technology—mechanization.”
[The medium is the massage] At first glance what I learnt from some old-fashioned
techno-globalist clichés about an interconnected world for today’s civilized
man perhaps is a sort of consolation, a flair for justice poetic. I guess how
easily wise men thinks about technology, or science, as a consequence or developed
product of the human being. Pop-intellect-actualité always is able to depict a longstanding
story of achievements and failures but blinkered to see the line marks of
autocracy upon them. It reminds me the tale of Kafka, once again “Before
the Law” …
“It receives you when you come and it relinquishes you when you go”. Should I look the door like an extension of my eye?
Should I look the mechanic-frame alike an extension of my eye? Should I guess the extension as a soak time? Anyway
tools are extensions of us because its conviviality is the output and absolute
scale condition of order, or failure. Finally, this warning of catastrophic
instability is the Natural Law and designing Freedom.
How -tech- is adapted in an
organization -to reinforce the rules of a societary play-game,
strengthen the institutional bureaucracy, tighten up the criminal, social, and moral
laws- could be read in this
painting brought from the book “Structural Stability and
Morphogenesis” by Rene Thom

"We live in straight lines, yet
every man is in fact a labyrinth".
Wrote Kafka to his poet friend Janouch. If I
stop to consider two sec I find one swiftly answer to all these last glimpses.
Man interiorises the frustration by can’t control live. So he creates fictions
which controls him, monotorizing himself. The whole system of representative
governments is the perfect fraud resting on it. Man formed gods in his own
image. He even tries to conceive a technology formed in his own image. The
superficially form is actually inseparable from the way Man is constructed by the world. According conveniently to
uphold the hegemony of those in Power man CAN mutate in beetle CAN mutate in
labyrinth CAN mutate in mass CAN mutate into a puppet cat.
The word
“alert” comes
from the
italian [all’erta] mandatory,
(be+upright).
Why it is so
important for Power to catch the radiance of our eyes is an evidence. The power
of men’s beliefs and illusions mainly are greater than their facts. In fact,
the innovation of scientists has always been concerned with the deed and
maintenance of routines. Personalities like Bill Gates, Elon Musk or Ingvar
Kamprad see themselves as romantic heirs from a humanitarian legacy. Although
these rainmakers are only sorcerer’s apprentices, coachers, outstripped executives
for the positivist petit-bourgeoisie; a mere bureaucrat placed in an
institution.
I take “Institution” to mean an organism
interacting in its environment, weaving program lines with the environment. In
the meantime, techno-bureaucracy (indoors) nothings need to interact, it’s busy producing
itself, and given its expansionist nature, Capitalism
is drawn to institutions. The West World Settler Rules.
The colonization
embedded in everyday living is proof that the century nineteenth would probably
still be going on today. Priti Patel refused to grant asylum to
an 11-year-old girl. The girl, who is thriving at school and only speaks
English was brought to the UK in 2012 by her mother, herself a victim of female
genital mutilation….* The likely
Western superiority is based on self-destructive individual interests...

The
Alarm
From immemorial
times the strategy of Power always has been to isolate the individuals,
managing his privacy, to separate him from his most intimate relationships.
In 1887 Albert Parsons –editor and
printer of the labour paper The
Alarm- was hanged with
another three strugglers in an ‘national’
trial. These anarchist martyrs had been created the celebration of the
international Labour Day. “Gentlemen of the jury,” said the prosecutor, “convict these men, make examples of
them, hang them and you save our institutions, our society”.
The
distinctiveness of these institutions was plundering the old poor world and emerging
up a new poor world in their own countries to control and use in behalf of a “developing
world”.

Acquainted with the bell
tolls
Anthropology -western institution– come along as science at the time capitalism began in
the settler stage and -consequently- it required a total knowledge of the "strange customs" of those peoples
that Empires had to submit in the settlements. This bell tolls were set up a
long time ago to be rekindled now reigniting the dominant frequency. The
present widespread colonialism. The old slavery was end but lingered with a
clearing cheque.
Nevertheless, if we
jump in time we could examine the technical progress in the labour world, when
the progression of wage incomes was faster than that of productivity– in the late 1960s- we can see how it triggered an extraordinary
inflationary process. In addition to an imminent taming, the dependence on
rationalization of labour and Taylorization, increasing the size of companies
and the concentration of capital. Capital productivity in global terms. Business
management was led by expensive hierarchical cadre managers. The first oil
shock and the 1974-75
recession allowed employers to develop a series of transformations taking
advice from consultants, specialists, sociologists, the new anthropologists for
the new colonialism. Here I need to remark the false split between proceedings
and structure. I need to remark the full swing between the micro and the
macrostructure.
For
the last 40/50 years we have been witnessing the tournament of
the "revolutionary reformism" that acquires a
reassuring virtue, to those/these periods, we could call them -times of
trouble-. New charismatic personalities are elected to control the
population. Above all supported by the -unlimited-
of the law, I meant; Law is always utopia (ou-topos_no-place) and an ideal of the cave. We allow the
no-limited divine justice and grace on behalf of the merry saint settler.

If we go to the technologies used –by the middle-class– at the household production, we can see how the housewife replaced herself the role from supervisor of ‘workers’ to machine-operator. The machine tools were called ‘consumer durables’ and not ‘producer durables’. In the Western Culture the women who didn’t take care of household chores were accused bad women and became a nightmare in the patriarchal imaginary. If we see the reproductive system, are we men and not women who need orgasm to be able to give birth. The female orgasm is much stimulating than the male one. The fear of/to female sexuality leads men to regulate it, to avoid a social chaos. As it happens; 200 million women are mutilated throughout the planet, without the possibility of orgasms they will be faithful women to their husbands, viewed from an exclusively economical angle; it is composed also of political, social and judicial elements. The pretty ‘macho’ is harsh, cold, passionately strong but emotionally mutilated. Sexuality is a biological, natural technique, it actives our imagination and our tipsy dreams. Here one must remark these corporeal techniques, biological techniques, as methods into communication with the mystic. I suppose it’s the reason because human being lives a very long childhood and the main characteristic is ‘caring’. Here our brain take place for many years until it reaches the maturity necessary and acquire the necessary autonomy and self-awareness. This is a work hardly charted at face value.
Anyway in our
country the 77% of
the National Health Service are women workers. They are acquainted with death,
birth, damage, with smell and bodily fluids. They have always been in charge of
healing, assisting the childbirth and laying out dead bodies to be buried. However,
they still bearing the myth of being princesses given to a single person –burden- dedicated to a job of fidelity,
patience and loyalty. To be at hand, his vulnerable -virginal- loyalty will be
rewarded eventually.
Under the inquisitorial
regime of the new economics each
social phenomenon is situated in it. And since –technique- sharped a new environment serving new economics the ‘ethic
cares’ never mind. Between the barbaric old and the civilized regime ‘ethics
cares’ appears on the surface as a withe-washing…
