How are the tools provided for us? To what extent do we really use the tools of the system, or be used by them? Alternative?
Is there a way to create a mocking alternative dream reality? I suppose I keep wondering about the third way between various binaries (you act out or you don't, you blog or you're technologically illiterate, you say one thing while not saying all the rest). Is there a way to slip between the tools and the master and the slave... to a new way of thinking about both the tools and the system? Even if we manage to create something outside of the system it will either be rejected or read with eyes of those in the system.
How do we find space between unbridled excitement and terror? Humans seem to play into the play to an unnecessary extent... at least, there are times that we are miserable but refuse to walk away from the game...
