My problem with being "anti-competition": painting in broad strokes results in a picture that lacks any semblance of the subject being discussed. All the detail is lost.

Also, here we see "competition" replaced with "fighting an enemy". Same activities, different target. No real change.

However, with a small adjustment your message can offer a great many new ways of approaching the world. Here are my thoughts:

Being "anti-" anything is a waste of effort.
Working against anything creates nothing.
Rather, be "pro-" something.
Built, create, augment.
This is the road to wealth, health, wisdom and growth.

The copy/paster behind this anti-capitalist manifesto uses the word "quantum" in his name.
Remember the true lesson of quantum physics: reality is created when it is perceived.
Obsess on inequality, and you ensure inequality.
This is true no matter which side of the equation you think you're on.
Rather, live free, and find new ways to do so.

When You See It...

I've had a few chats with the art director, but the original source or inspiration for the engraving remains unknown. May possibly just be original artwork.

The Use Of Music In Evocation

This obscure song from over a decade ago still achieves better results than all formula-based materials generated since. This is not acceptable. We cannot continue to fall back on the "Strand Standard", considering the variances recently sited in my latest report.

To put it simply: either more options must be generated within the next year, or we will need to consider a few of the more radical solutions as detailed in Appendix B.

Boards Re-Launch

Having lain fallow for some time, and allowed to fall into the chaos and disorder at the mercy of spam bots, the boards have now been purged and cleaned. Active agents may now register.

Feel free to exchange information about current operations in the hidden areas.

the shut-down

Shut-down was successful at 04:79 this morning.

Solstice and red moon activities were successful.

See you in the new year.

The Instinct Against Change

The central difficulty encountered by Agents Of Change is that, as a whole, humans find change objectionable.

This inclination begins on a cellular level, where the simple programming states: "if I am alive, everything is perfect. I should continue to do exactly what I am doing. To change is to risk death." There is no concept of "better" or "worse" on a cellular level. There is only "alive" or "dead". Am I alive? Perfect, change nothing or I will fight you.

From there the human psyche backs up what has become a genetic imperative. Our subconscious creates a vast storehouse of barriers to change in an effort to keep all systems running smoothly. Enumerating the entire list of blocks to change is beyond the scope of a simple blog entry, but here are a few examples:

• To change is to abandon one's current "identity". This is, subconsciously, akin to suicide.
• On a genetic level, a change to DNA is called "cancer".
• Change often means effort. Fatigue (or what some call "laziness") is our enemy here.
• Change can be interpreted as an admission of:
  
  • Guilt
  • Stupidity
  • Worthlessness
  • Lying (side note: change is often a result of discovering one's lies to oneself - a bitter pill)
• There is always risk.
  
  • Possible chiding by peers. (Even when change is positive - sometimes especially so.)
  • Change may not take hold, and eventually fail.
  • It may be discovered, too late, as a negative change.

Yellow-1 is an agent of change. We must continue our discovery of new ways around and through these barriers.

Let's not forget, however, the volume of research already accomplished in this area. As Lawrence Lessig says: creativity is always based on the past. We need to ensure that all operatives have at least a working knowledge of what has been discovered so far.

I am currently writing a formal proposal for the creation of a complete catalog of barriers, with organized lists of change strategies, newly discovered countermeasures, and applicable technologies. This proposal will be published for peer review in the new year.
