[FRIAM] Pre-crime Insider mapping

[Joost Rekveld]

are you serious ?
I guess my point is these kinds of developments are threatening for  
those who do not think the norm is for them. As a peace-loving  
multilingual artist with several relatively obscure interests I can  
totally see that what I consider to be interesting will soon be  
labelled pre-crime symptoms. Who needs renaissance optics, ottoman  
music, outmoded utopias ? all very suspicious !
I guess I should be watching TV like everybody else...

ciao,

Joost.

"There is little use in devising a system of thought about
the nature of the trap if the only thing to do in order to
get out of the trap is to know the trap and find the exit.
Everything else is utterly useless: Singing hymns about
the suffering in the trap ... or making poems about the
freedom outside of the trap, dreamed of within the trap ...
The first thing to do is to find the exit out of the trap.
The nature of the trap has no interest whatsoever beyond
this one crucial point:
WHERE IS THE EXIT OUT OF THE TRAP?

(Wilhelm Reich)
