Beyond the Era of Unskilfulness

GO, with reverential deference:

To begin to type was the decisive act:
April 4th, 2004.
He sat back. A sense of complete helplessness had descended upon him. To begin with, he did not know with any certainty that this was 2004; he knew that in Ethiopia it was mid-1996. In the western world governments agreed it was 2004CE, and he was fairly sure that his age was thirty-nine, as he believed that he had been born in 1964 or 1965; but it was rarely possible nowadays to pin down any date within a year or two, and most adults nowadays lied about their true age, so what did it really matter? In fact, the subversive joy lay more in just spreading ideas; it was typing it out in full that gave it meaning, to everyone else it was just:

04/04/04

For whom, it suddenly occurred to him to wonder, was he writing this blog? For the future, for the unborn? His mind hovered for a moment round the fearful symmetry of the date on the page; for the first time the magnitude of what he had undertaken came home to him. How could you communicate with the future? It was of its nature impossible. Either the future would resemble the present, in which case it would not listen to him: or it would be different from it, and his predicament may be meaningless …

Still, the psychic umbra crushing the hopes and dreams of billions had to be addressed, this last gasp of the hegemony of the Alberta-Texas-Riyadh Era of Unskilfulness must be dealt with, lest some are left to believe that the perpetual warfare doctrine of the BBS Alliance is anything other than a cover for a military-industrial oil-based economy.

If you love America, if you love Israel, if you love England, if you love freedom and democracy, then work for peace and justice and responsible government.
