CHAOS NEVER DIED.
Everything in nature is perfectly real including consciousness, there's absolutely nothing to worry about.
The State schools us all to sink beneath the event-horizon of a tedious "usefulness".
We read under the influence of a cartesian anaesthetic gas.
As soon as you begin to act in harmony with nature the Law garottes and strangles you - so don't play the blessed liberal middleclass martyr - accept the fact that you're a criminal and be prepared to act like one.
Act as if you were already free.
Every man his own vine and figtree.
The only true conflict is that between the authority of the tyrant and the authority of the realized self - all else is illusion, psychological projection, wasted verbiage.
It's no surprise to discover how many anarchists are ex-Catholics, defrocked priests or nuns, former altar boys, lapsed born-again baptists or even ex-Shiite fanatics. Anarchism offers up a black (& red) Mass to de-ritualize all spook-haunted brains - a secular exorcism - but then betrays itself by cobbling together a High Church of its own, all cobwebby with Ethical Humanism, Free Thought, Muscular Atheism, & crude Fundamentalist Cartesian Logic.
If some Javanese sorcerer or Native American shaman possesses some precious fragment I need for my own "medicine pouch," should I sneer & quote Bakunin's line about stringing up priests with bankers' guts? or should I remember that anarchy knows no dogma, that Chaos cannot be mapped - & help myself to anything not nailed down?
The examples of "wolf children" or enfants sauvages suggest that a human infant deprived of human company for too long will never attain conscious humanity - will never acquire language. The Wild Child perhaps provides a poetic metaphor for the Unique-one - and yet simultaneously marks the precise point where Unique & Other must meet, coalesce, unify - or else fail to attain & possess all of which they are capable.
The Other mirrors the Self - the Other is our witness. The Other completes the Self - the Other gives us the key to the perception of oneness-of-being. When we speak of being & consciousness, we point to the Self; when we speak of bliss we implicate the Other.
Existence itself may be considered an abyss possessed of no meaning. I do not read this as a pessimistic statement. If it be true, then I can see in it nothing else but a declaration of autonomy for my imagination & will - & for the most beautiful act they can conceive with which to bestow meaning upon existence.
The TAZ is... a perfect tactic for an era in which the State is omnipresent and all-powerful and yet simultaneously riddled with cracks and vacancies. And because the TAZ is a microcosm of that "anarchist dream" of a free culture, I can think of no better tactic by which to work toward that goal while at the same time experiencing some of its benefits here and now.
Chaos theory predicts that any universal Control-system is impossible.
