Extraordinary Discourse Podcast

Fractal Documentary "No one travels quite so high as he who knows not where he is going." Oliver Cromwell said it. The MOQ [Metaphysics Of Quality] explains it by saying that knowing where you are going is always static. Real art is not knowing where you are going, but are listening intently to something you don't understand. And if your ego doesn't interfere, this something you don't understand may guide you to much more than you ever expected. Robert Pirsig, October 2009

Modification Set Tobin-"if you sample something you're giving a lot more respect to the original artists than if you adapt their melody and call it your own. At least I'm saying it's all samples, it's all from other sources, the raw material. I'm not taking any credit for it. I'm only taking credit for what I do with it, for the arrangement of the samples, the way they're put together and manipulated." ( Ostroff, 2002 ) And for some of us, is there anything finer than intelligent and stimulating written discourse while sitting with the morning cuppa?

Fox Talks, Trickster Mix “Here, in ancient mythology,” writes Horowitz, “is the relationship between genesis, genetics, and the spoken word. Also implied is the concept of wholistic health hinging on oral functions.” Horowitz points out that neurophysiologists have determined that fully "one-third of the sensory-motor cortex of the brain is devoted to the tongue, oral cavity, the lips, and speech. In other words, oral frequency emissions (i.e., bioacoustic tones) spoken, or sung, exert powerful control over life, vibrating genes that influence total well-being and even evolution of the species."

Capers Precisely Cut Laszlo forsees this trend of societal systems beginning to interlock. Via the Mind we are approaching global convergence that could either spawn societal interdependence or a situation where one societal system dominates over all the others. More immediately, Laszlo realizes that these global changes in societal systems propagate a "dislocation of the cognitive maps of individuals." Our belief systems, our images and rituals and routines, even our values are no longer routinely accepted. Laszlo seriously contends there is a desperate need for new "systems of belief and action." from Consciousness In The Cosmos: Perspective of Mind: Ervin Laszlo Beatrix Murrell

Deep Marginalia The model of a discrete 90 minute film as the ultimate goal is beginning to give way as well. While theatrical release remains a happy outcome, many films, especially documentaries, may soon become more amorphous "projects," where the outtakes, extras, YouTube clips, video blogs, Twitter feeds, Facebook fan pages, etcetera, plus whatever comes next to replace these evanescent things, are integrated from the outset as elements of the creative vision of the whole.
