Moiety Bricolage





Entertainment for thinking workers and players.


I am willing to pass for a fool in my own desperate, perhaps foolish, efforts to persuade them to lift the veil from off the possible and future, which they hold down with both their hands, before their eyes. The most valuable communication or news consists of hints and suggestions.
Henry Thoreau



…men [sic] will have to be less like Achilles, imposing their will on the world, and more like Odysseus, the crafty, many-sided sojourner.

This’ll Dig Ya In The Intellectual Ribs       The real underlying currency of our world is not gold, nor bureaucratic fiat, nor even military might. The real underlying currency of our world is narrative, and the ability to control it. Everything always comes down to this one real currency. If you look at what all these think tanks, NGOs, media outlets and grant making networks that billionaires pour their money into actually do, it ultimately boils down to controlling the dominant stories that people tell about what’s going on in their world.
