Global Islands Project -- ongoing series of multi-media
pdf-ebooks/field-recordings -- a pastoral, pictorial and phonic
elicitation of island parameters. An intensive examination of small
islands and their paradigmatic solutions to globalism.

Your feudal-world is based on mutual relief at your common corruption. Maybe
some cultures are based on even worse. But that wouldn't change the bad
faith of it and as years go by, you wake at night in terror of your whole
life being an act of bad faith, where everything is self-interest and
nothing more, where every human interaction is driven by a silent, even
subconscious calculation of some ulterior motive, to the point that a sea
of bad faith has taken over your whole life, there's no small island left
from which you can even try to build a bridge of good faith, because even
that effort becomes suspect, even good faith is nothing but
self-interested, even altruism is nothing but solipsistic, even your
professed agonizing right here right now is nothing but a gesture, made to
the conscience in order to assure it that it exists.

12 mailing list:

You cannot politically defy the institutions when all you really wanted
was to be clasped to their bosoms and hope in time to be cherished under
the very framework of oppressive values you are thinking of overcoming.
That would be co-optation, revolution only in the sense of a circulation
of elites rather than the extirpation of the very impulses of elitism.
