NIT ≠ UBI

if you do this enough
you’ll find all you have
to talk and think about
is what is inside
of your own head
and miss out
on the real world
and the people in it

if you never ask questions
you’ll never find out
what anybody else
has going on

if you talk all the time
you’ll never hear
what anybody
else
has to say

- alan watts

the things
we don’t choose
are the regrets
we will justify
with the
things
we did

It’s at the margin:auto of it all

our machines
are disturbingly lively
and we ourselves
are frighteningly
inert

The best Plan B
will come
from
the masses

it’s a mushroom. Seriously.

Nice red topped mushroom seen from below

Some kind of mushroom like a turkey tail or something. It’s like round steps on a stump

Who’s this, some baby mushy hiding out under a log tempted to come out to play

like the shadow government
of an opposition party
putting out all its plans
for citizens to consider
and hopefully
vote for

all of the proposals
on the table
and argued for

step-by-step
assembly instructions

yes, this sounds like Politics
because it ǐš.
very depressing.

- kim stanley robinson

as if things secretly made sense
no
obvious bullshit
we’re winging it here
not that there aren’t conspiracies
it’s just
that they’re all well-known

so
it’s in that spirit
that Plan B
has to be a Known Plan
an Open Conspiracy
known to all
in advance

ÑØ!¡! ¡¡ÝoüČañt!!

things just fall apart
and next thing you know
you’re eating
your çąț

so
take
this
in

there ĦÅst to be
a-pre-existing-Plan-B
And it can’t be a ŚĒÇŘÈŤ plan
popped on the world
in thetime of chaos

no conspiracy theories please
(SØfųċķįńġTédíóúś those people)

in a situation like this
there has to be a plan
you can’t make it up
on the fly
in the middle of
the breakdown

not
in the miodern era
of hypercomplexity

your savings suddenly vanish
and Mœney doesn’t work anymore

J3$^sHChří$t ïnABucket

can you make up
a new society
from scratch
at THAT point?!

say the internet
stops working
J3$^sHChří$t

Hooray Dusey!!! We stand together
