Subject: speaking a different dialect...

About seventy years ago London Transport was having trouble printing a tube map that people could realistically read due to the ever expanding network.The final solution was to shrink certain parts and bend others so that it was presented in a fashion that could fit in your fashionable plusfours,that you could make sense of.When I think of todays complex reality,I wonder how people can make sense of it all.What purpose is it all for?We never really succeeded in formulating dynamic Marxist concepts did we?Maybe now is the time to attempt to visualise an alternative.
To me,"bendy concepts"(as used in LT maps) enable us to see "new" realities.So lets use more and apply Mutualism to.
Then we could have a working model of a new world.We would need "reality scopes" to see in this new world.This is the problem.But everyone will soon have one.However the language needs re-writing in a Less Stodgy,less user friendly fashion.With more advanced technology the world will soon be administered from a few computers making the job of changing it easier.As modern man is inextricably linked with technology he must use it in a future society to make sense of that society.But not drift too far from humanity,though in our rational moments,we define rationality.Lets speak a modern Dialect,and spread it around.Don't worry Binkie,I've spoken to lots of psychiatrists in the past,and they're a fucking waste of time.
