Extraordinary Discourse 166


Confronted By The Turn





I taught them all my creating, and striving to create, and carry together into one what in man is fragment, and riddle, and dreadful accident. As creator, guesser of riddles and redeemer of accidents, I taught them to work on the future, and redeem with their creation all that has been.

The new reality being invisible... leading industrial technology's everyday, working reality into the ultra- and infra- visible- the macrophysical and the microatomic,
electronic, metallurgically alloying chemically reacting micriobiologically,
astrophysically exploring ranges of the electromagnetic wave-spectrum of
Universe. And 99.9% of these very real activities are non-directly
apprehensible by the bare human senses and are practically discovered and coped
with only through powerful macro-micro operative instruments.
Buckminster Fuller

Extraordinary Discourse 040 Special: The World Owes You A Living 3 Workplace And Men Men And War Families, Roles Pictures of Rich and Poor Today's Extraordinary Discourse Special is Episode 3 of The World Owes You A Living suite, a 6-part Millennial Associational Documentary. A good look behind the mask of the job system and its supporting institutions and memes. Where do we go, men, from a war to a matrix of desks/suit jackets /coldwar defense contracts. Whence domestic violence, "managers"? Powerlessness. Child sexual abuse? Powerless predators. Soul unity, camaraderie of WWII grunts broken into the centrifugal entropia of consumer items for the wife and kids and TV and alcohol til death. Dr. William Temple, 98th Archbishop of Canterbury: "I am inclined to agree with the Biblical saying that work is a curse." Dedicated to the #Occupy movements around the planet.
