Art, Memes, Symbols & Mind Control - Professor Gee Chee Vision • DV University • Spring 2011

"DMG, you know you respect the hell out of artists If not for an artist slapping together a hokey commercial of a dark wizard fighting white nights on a chessboard, cut & paste from some Krull reject stage props, you wouldn't have gone stumbling into the Marine recruitment office." Gee Chee Vision

DMG said...: Yeah, that's an "interesting" commercial for a Marine Officer. I was enlisted. But...attention to detail and all. I'll even give you a hint...1988 is when I enlisted. See if you can find that one.

It wasn't a commercial that led me to the Corps. It wasn't patriotism, or nationalism or any of that flag and apple pie shit.

Feel free to continue with roast. I think it's funny.; Feb 3, 2011, 3:08:00 AM
DMG said...: Hey MOTI,

Looks like you have yet ANOTHER Flying Monkey. Let's all welcome the newest recruit.

Our host is in the process of building a new stable (since his current hoes include a finger painter (talking about Wax, not you Gee Chee, so chill) who is this close to eating-his-own-feces crazy, and a couple of guys who just don't put in the work necessary to be a good minion (talking to you D.SMITH), and Gee Chee--who on occasion is sometimes reasonable.

This new guy could be the one. Aren't you excited? I'm not convinced there is a website dedicated to finding new minion...minionmatch.com ?; Feb 4, 2011, 10:07:00 AM

"There was of course no way of knowing whether you were being watched at any given moment. How often, or on what system, the Thought Police plugged in on any individual wire was guesswork. It was even conceivable that they watched everybody all the time. But at any rate they could plug in your wire whenever they wanted to. You had to live—did live, from habit that became instinct—in the assumption that every sound you made was overheard, and, except in darkness, every movement scrutinized."

The founders of the American state understood that the proper functioning of a democracy required an educated electorate. It is this understanding that justifies a system of public education and that led slaveholders to resist the spread of literacy among their chattels. But the meaning of "educated" has changed beyond recognition in two hundred years. Reading, writing, and arithmetic are no longer sufficient to decide on public policy. Now we need quantum mechanics and molecular biology. The knowledge required for political rationality, once available to the masses, is now in the possession of a specially educated elite, a situation that creates a series of tensions and contradictions in the operation of representative democracy.

"At present the population of the world is increasing at about 58,000 per diem. War, so far, has had no very great effect on this increase, which continued throughout each of the world wars.. War has hitherto been disappointing in this respect, but perhaps bacteriological war may prove effective. If a Black Death could spread throughout the world once in every generation, survivors could procreate freely without making the world too full. The state of affairs might be unpleasant, but what of it?"
