„A mobile army of metaphors, metonyms, and anthropomorphisms — in short, a sum of human relations which have been enhanced, transposed, and embellished poetically and rhetorically, and which after long use seem firm, canonical, and obligatory to a people: truths are illusions about which one has forgotten that this is what they are; metaphors which are worn out and without sensuous power; coins which have lost their pictures and now matter only as metal, no longer as coins.“
Friedrich Nietzsche (1873) On Truth and Lies in a Nonmoral Sense

“Each increase in the complexity of our communications vehicles – the moves from pictographic languages to abstract alphabets or from cave painting to digital image manipulation – has been motivated by the desire to improve the range and reach of meaning we can share.” !

“The gene-pool politics which monitor power struggles among terrestrial humanity are transcended in this info-world, i.e. seen as static, artificial charades. One is neither coercively manipulated into another's territorial reality nor forced to struggle against it with reciprocal game-playing (the usual soap opera dramatics). One simply elects, consciously, whether or not to share the other's reality tunnel.” !
Timothy Leary & Robert Anton Wilson, Neuropolitique, New Falcon Publications, 2006, p. 93

„The conscious and intelligent manipulation of the organized habits and opinions of the masses is an important element in democratic society. Those who manipulate this unseen mechanism of society constitute an invisible government which is the true ruling power of our country. ...We are governed, our minds are molded, our tastes formed, our ideas suggested, largely by men we have never heard of. This is a logical result of the way in which our democratic society is organized.“
Edward Bernays (1928) Propaganda. Chapter “Organising Chaos"

“[…] Although you will never fully know or successfully manipulate the characters who
surface or disrupt your plot, you can respect the ones who do by paying them close
attention and doing them justice. The theme you choose may change or simply elude you,
but being your own story means you can always choose the tone. It also means that you can
invent the language to say who you are and what you mean. But then, I am a teller of stories
and therefore an optimist, a believer in the ethical bend of the human heart, a believer in the
mind’s disgust with fraud and its appetite for truth, a believer in the ferocity of beauty. So,
from my point of view, which is that of a storyteller, I see your life as already artful, waiting,
just waiting and ready for you to make it art." (TM) ...that matters. (HK)
TA K E A W AY S ( N O T O N LY F O R H O M E U S E )
# You life is based on concepts sequenced into stories
# Be responsible in creating stories - you are creating perspectives for others…
# Do not trust filters – not your own and not the ones designed – work with them, hack them. Be transparent.
# Trust your intuition and imagination FIRST – fiction is creating reality.
