Forget Mars

Venus is where it is at. The high pressure on the surface will make, creating energy a cinch. Energy is created from gradients and that planet has loads of them. Carbon Dioxide is a pain you say, we will be experts in dealing with it in a few years. I say, lets start with some heat resistant cyanobacteria and algae.

Hate the long days, lack of magnetic field or backwards spin? Stop your complaining! The ease of Mars is the reward of dusty boredom.

The Artificial Man Searches

For Authenticity and a Heart, This Often Ends in Success

Back in the mists of time Great Britain, was such a success that each sub-national units was given the chance to remake themselves. Wales did this in New Zealand, England in Australia and Scotland emerged in Canada. Ireland and Northern Ireland got each other. The East India Company begot the United States of America. The possibility of the branch is limited by the dimensions of the root, problems that bedevil each nation are found in this fissures of their structure and purpose.

What We Are Listening to

Somebody Said This

Read books that have nothing to do with literature. Get off the main thoroughfares; you’ll see nothing there. For example, Kant’s Critique is a yawn but his incidental writings are fascinating. There has to be a libidinous delight in finding things and stuffing them in your pockets. You must get the servants to work for you. You mustn’t do all the work yourself. That is, you should ask other people for information, and steal ruthlessly from what they provide. None of the things you make up will be as hair-raising as the things people tell you.I can only encourage you to steal as much as you can. No one will ever notice. You should keep a notebook of tidbits, but don’t write down the attributions, and then after a couple of years you can come back to the notebook and treat the stuff as your own without guilt.Don’t be afraid to bring in strange, eloquent quotations and graft them into your story. It enriches the prose. Quotations are like yeast or some ingredient one adds. Look in older encyclopaedias. They have a different eye. They attempt to be complete and structured but in fact are completely random collected things that are supposed to represent our world. It’s very good that you write through another text, a foil, so that you write out of it and make your work a palimpsest. You don’t have to declare it or tell where it’s from. A tight structural form opens possibilities. Take a pattern, an established model or sub-genre, and write to it. In writing, limitation gives freedom.If you look carefully you can find problems in all writers. And that should give you great hope. And the better you get at identifying these problems, the better you will be at avoiding them.
