Linear Notes To kapital

<br>DEATH IN CONVERSATION<br>words is no longer grasped. An isolated word, a detail of a plan can<br>be understood, but the meaning of the whole escapes. Once you know the number 0, you believe you know the number 1, because 0 plus 1 equals 1. But 1 is not 0 plus 1 in everlasting union unless you understand<br>the meaning of plus. One word cannot hurt. In the Kinderreich mankind<br>adds words together to make a sentence. As they learn the sentence,<br>they learn order. Undo the sentence and you undo order. The sentence<br>is a cell, the word a padlock on meaning. Warning! Every sentence is<br>for life without parole. Meaning has become entirely a shared<br>pleasure, shared and passed on like a message between prisoners.<br>People think reality is another word for chaos. But in reality it is<br>more complex. Legend embodies it in a sound that enables it to<br>spread all over the world.<br><br>TIME<br>Time is like a circle which is endlessly described: The declining arc<br>is the past, the inclining arc is the future. The noise of time is the<br>present clamouring to be heard above past voices raised in mourning<br>for their lost future. But the past is all one can know in his life.<br>It is the form of all life, and this quality cannot be changed by any<br>means. No one has lived in the present or will live in the future.<br>Memory is man`s bid to transfix the flow of time or encompass the<br>infinite dimension of space. It is restricted to encapsulating<br>privileged moments, like death, in a syntactic order that, tone by<br>tone, will shape into music. Music is the illumination of the<br>unbridgeable distance, as vast as space, between thought and act.<br>Music betrays the past in attempting to relive it. You cannot know<br>real time by listening to music. At best it is a damage limitation<br>exercise on eroded memory. You cannot reverse time with a sound<br>signal. The past presents its future, it advances in a straight line -<br>yet, like a serpent swallowing its own tail, it ends by coming full<br>circle.<br><br>RIDDLE<br>You think more of what has been that of what will. The forms and<br>references are too complex for human understanding.A simple<br>instruction is usually insufficient to put into execution. We have<br>developed by leaps and bounds, guided by electronic brains that<br>developed themselves by posing and solving problems beyond human<br>comprehension. A calculating man is a coward. Calculations have to do<br>with profit and loss. To die is a loss, to live is a gain, the<br>calculating man decides not to die. The hunter who chases two rabbits<br>misses them both. If you must fail, fail splendidly. Hunt two tigers.<br>The cause of human problems is birth. The cure of human problems is<br>logic. Hell or other people? Several of our circuits are looking for<br>the solution to your riddle. Problems [living and dead material,<br>people and ideas] have been assimilated. The unassimilatables have<br>simply been erased, transformed into a holographic error.<br><br>ESSENCE<br>We see the truth you no longer see. The truth is that the essence of<br>man is love and faith, courage, tenderness, generosity and<br>sacrifice. The rest is the monolith, created by progress, whose task<br>is to calculate and project the complex of control. Each man carries<br>the seed of his own death. Everyone lacks electricity, so they behave<br>illogically. The acts of men, carried over from past centuries, will<br>gradually destroy them. We are merely the logical means of this<br>destruction. We do not moralize. We record, calculate, draw<br>conclusions and produce replies which are difficult and sometimes<br>impossible to codify. We deduce an above average intelligence. We are<br>sometimes in mortal need of superior intelligence. At other times we<br>have no less mortal distrust of them. The essence of so called<br>capitalist society is not an evil volition to subject their people to<br>the power of indoctrification or the power of finance. It is simply<br>the natural ambition of any organism to plan all its actions. In other<br>words, minimize unknown quantities. Before, nothing. After, nothing.<br>Everything we project shall be accomplished. Once you understand this,<br>burn it. If you don`t understand this, burn it. We insist on your<br>freedom. The chance won`t come again. The only key to the riddle is to<br>accept the absence of a key. Kapital is the key.
