<p>Dear all</p>
<p>thanks for joining in.... we should continue this thread on
invasive species. (great to hear so many voices and beyond the
spores....)<br>
</p>
<p>Meanwhile, allow me to bring us back to JJ's self-questioning
propositions-<br>
</p>
<p>>>How do we create forms of life that no longer reproduce
the machines of capital. How do we desert the system that has no
outside. How do we refuse to become the fools in the palace,
providing the progressive masks to the institutions whose very
life blood is in the corporate military industrial realm…</p>
<div class="">>>How do we not separate our ethics and
aesthetics ( as wittgenstein urged us not to do ) </div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">>>Do we refuse to collaborates ? </div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">>>Can we hack from the inside ?</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">>>Do we desert and build counter powers ? </div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">>>Or do we just cook up the poison mushrooms and
feed them to those making money from death ? </div>
<div class=""><br>
Thanks also lots to Ricardo's bringing up the glorious days of
Electronic Disturbance Theater, the targets, objectives seemingly
clearly identified at the time of calling for actions. His insider
report of War on Terroe Universities that brought DOD's tactical
pursuit into school curriculum, involving students' research in
greater hidden agendas of the Pentagon. Do we then all willingly
participating in network rehearsals? that of MAVEN?<br>

like to focus on? The majority sent back notes

stop networks like Facebook and Cambridge Analytica
