The Silent Rant
|
|
---------------
|
|
(a Tangent to Temporary Autonomous Zone)
|
|
|
|
There are three basic responses to a text like Temporary Autonomous Zone :
|
|
|
|
1) change yourself,
|
|
2) change your environment, or
|
|
3) do nothing and go mad.
|
|
|
|
This is not one of them. This is the tangent of the silent rant, and it
|
|
is a selfish rant. The silent rant walks the halls each day and borrows
|
|
my resources (processor time?) when I'm not looking, and it has decided
|
|
that the time is right to speak its silent mind.
|
|
|
|
Hello, I am the silent rant, but you can call me. Not like you can talk
|
|
to me anyway, you materialistic fiends! The data is forthcoming.
|
|
|
|
Each of us is an individual. Each of you roams the halls of the modern
|
|
gulag daily like myself, but there is something that separates you from
|
|
everyone else. What is it then? It is a gleam in your eyes that says
|
|
(despite your fervent attempts to hide it), "I am not defined by my actions
|
|
or the things associated with me, but by my own mind." The answer to that
|
|
(you didn't know it was a question, did you?) is "CHAOS!"
|
|
|
|
CHAOS never died; it has just been sitting dormant for a long time,
|
|
waiting for someone like me to pick it up and throw it at the world like a
|
|
cream pie. The Temporary Autonomous Zone (TAZ) is a system of anarchy like
|
|
no other, for it makes no attempt at permanence. It is the now, and it is
|
|
freedom, and whatever else you want to call it (I'm as tired of profundity
|
|
and symbolism as the next rant). You are each a TAZ, an island in the
|
|
framework of our dys-functional society. The advantage of the impermanent
|
|
nature of the TAZ is that it is difficult to spot - difficult, but not
|
|
impossible! You see, the TAZ is not one location, but a network of
|
|
possible locations. Much like quantum theory, in fact.
|
|
|
|
The data is in place - what can you do with it? First of all, you could
|
|
TALK to each other and stop PRETENDING that you're the only intellect in
|
|
this corner of the universe. We come to school to LEARN, do we not? So
|
|
why are most of us not progressing beyond a spoon-fed diet of useless
|
|
data? There's no CHALLENGE, of course - I challenge you to seek them out,
|
|
but that will be the only challenge that will come to you if you do not
|
|
seek more out. Standardized tests and data re-interpretations stand for
|
|
NOTHING. They are as empty as the ideas you cling to in your futile
|
|
attempts at explaining the world. FACE IT, THE WORLD CAN'T BE EXPLAINED.
|
|
Some of you are so afraid of showing your true selves that you will never
|
|
experience the joy of actually KNOWING other people. YOU WILL MAKE
|
|
MISTAKES, and YOU WILL BE HURT. So what? What doesn't kill you makes you
|
|
stronger!
|
|
|
|
What can I do about it? Nothing outside of myself. I can't tell you
|
|
what to do, and I wouldn't want to. You are all much too unique to insult
|
|
like that. I ask that you not give up on the world and the existence of
|
|
others like yourself, and at least attempt the challenge of true
|
|
communication as I have. Who knows, I might even respect you!
