Required Reading - 06-18-02

Not really required, but these books might help you become paranoid, or at least make you think of things in a different way. Feel free to add books or argue a book being here.

-Animal Farm
-1984
-Ishmael
-The Story of B
-My Ishmael
-Brave New World

There are others I'm just not thinking of right now...but we need some conversation here, maybe this will start some.

Is Brave New World the one that the Matrix ripped off about the brain in the vat and the VR machine?

I don't remember, I never got to reading it. But it gives you other ways to think. Which is really the point of these anyway.

Yep, thats just how it is. I meant more of books that its a very good idea to read in order to think in new ways... Note the "Not really required" part...It was just something to actually call the post. I changed it to "Recommended Reading," happy now?

Adbusters is a magazine I'd recommend to all of you. Just because.

heh, wanna wonder? read Asimov's robot series.. then watch the tech news..


A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, con a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly.
Specialization is for insects!!

amazing how much they look like orchids, isn't it!!
One man's theology is another man's belly laugh.
Money is a powerfull aphrodisiac. But flowers work almost as well.
It is better to copulate than never.

Of all the strange "crimes" that human beings have legislated out of nothing, "blasphamy" is one of the most amazing--with "obscenity" and "indecent exposure" fighting it out for second place.
i'm conspiracies alter-ego.

Little girls, like butterflies, need no excuse.

This sig is the "suggested" 20 lines long..

An excellent bi-monthly conspiracy source is "Nexus". It covers everything from government conspiracies, religious, scientific etc. Their site gives the latest installments low-down and continuing updates on old issues. I think the site is just nexus.com, I'm sure you'll be able to find it. Really worth a look.
