Subject: ANXIETY

You're right,that new language mysteriously eludes us.In the same way netting anyones interest in a design for life so far reaps--little.The reason of course is staring us in the face...we are enslaved to gadgets,especially these ones.Computers don't mirror our nature so much as we reflect their character.Enthralled,and putting so much hope in something that wasn't designed to liberate us.Computers are too one dimentional.Like TV context means little these days.
Be careful-it's not inconcievable we could be enslaved for all time.
You are vright to harp on about our diminishing personal power over our collective destiny.At the same time as the increasing power of technology.This is the contradiction of modern society that people can only feel subliminally.For me,this is the most important thing to do--bring this contradiction out into the open.But considering societys lessening ability for critical examination,it may prove almost impossible.We need a clear view of contradictions in modern society.And,I'm afraid we also need politics outside of computer worlds,to make theories real.
