Some pictures from yesterday's festivities… More on BME in a day or two:
I think we've effectively proven that our rig is relatively indestructable (and we've also effectively proven the extent of our irresponsibility).
I took it from Mishel.
What is your ideal job? I don't believe in jobs.
What was the best year of your life? I live day to day. Today is the best day of my life.
Why? Because my memory is fucked.
If you could kill anyone and get away with it, would you? Realistically, probably not. Maybe in the past, but I've learned that enemies frequently become friends and vice-versa… It's not worth killing over.
Who do you like the most? Why? Yeah, that's a vague question. If I could answer that my world would be very small.
How do you feel about yourself? I'm an egotist and a megalomaniac. How do you think I feel?
What's your best quality? I don't know, I'm sure that's easier for someone else to answer. I do my best.
What's your worst quality? I'm deeply sociopathic.
Favorite angry tune? I don't think I have one.
Currently reading? In my bathroom right now is a book about the history of torture, a book about the history of experimental airplanes, and Faust (in German). I've also been reading Maori history today.
Vices? Sex, drugs, and rock'n'roll baby.
Do you have a clear image of how you want to look? Sure.
What? Like I do now, but not quite so fat!
Are you gonna do it? Probably not, but it would be nice.
What is your purpose? What's the term in New Zealand? Te Mihaia Hou? Ha ha, that's getting a bit ahead of myself, but I believe my purpose is the creation of a homeland for our people. I don't know if that means things like IAM and BME, and I don't know if it means an actual piece of realestate, and I don't know if it just means converting the rest of the world. But if I could achieve something, that would be it.
I was thinking about potential distribution problems with the ModCon book… As I've made abundantly clear here, it's my feeling that body modification — and body manipulation (ie. ritual) — are ESSENTIAL to humanity's spirit, and, I'd go so far as to say they will be dramatically important in actually saving us in the coming robot-human apocalypse. (I'm only half kidding here, and I'm speaking as someone that has a serious understanding and track record with advanced computing.)
In any case, when religious writings are banned, and maliciously prosecuted, would that be a hate crime? Obviously I'm protected under freedom of press laws, but could I go so far as to countersue — and maybe even demand criminal charges against the prosecutors — if the government came after me? It sure would be an interesting case. I think right now, being online, we're sort of slipping in under the radar, but the publication of a book like this is a real in-your-face position to take with the mainstream.
I'm 99% sure no one will even notice… but…
…it could get interesting…
