Jean Baudrillard

Preliminary results using IPv7/Web 4.0 mandate a complete review of Baudrillard’s L’Esprit du Terrorisme.  His speculations on good and evil, flying in the face of conventional wisdom, open the question as to whether interpreting God as the manifestation of good and the Devil as that of evil describe a condition external to our species, internal to it, or both.  Intent to probe convergence of quantum mechanics, with all its uncertainties, to the state of consciousness, with all its uncertainties, probably has been supported as a priority effort by a remote organization.  This position is taken on the strength of this Phase V impression.

• A subsonic wing – A crop dusting plane over corn fields, possibly planted for ethanol – A perfectly beautiful woman started to age.  As she did, she did not just age, she started to transform.  People around her began to suspect something else was there, and these suspicions were confirmed when the devil came to fetch her.  He apologized and invited one of the onlookers to a game of checkers in the “lower regions.” (11-24-09)

Another passage of the Baudrillard argument surfaces as particularly relevant.  He writes: “The act of repression follows the same unpredictable spiral as the act of terrorism: no one knows where it will end or what repercussions will ensue. At the level of images and information, it is impossible to distinguish between the spectacular and the symbolic, impossible to distinguish between crime and repression.”  There is no better example of this than the Pakistan/Afghanistan complex.  That having been said, there is a wide selection of tools available to those who will engage in this environment.  The Triad takes this Phase V impression as explicit support.

• A single dumbbell at 45 degrees on an overhead lift – A couple of mechanical flour sifters – Some youngsters in baseball uniforms sitting on a bench – A tubular space frame – A soccer match (12-03-09)

Preliminary IPv7/Web 4.0 results suggest a closer reading of this page as a companion to Large Scale Intelligence and Dante’s Divine Comedy. This position is supported by these Phase VI impressions.

• The old man fell forward and was unable to reconstitute himself.  The whole universe shook for the farewell.  (1-24-10)
• The Sphinx and pyramids – A Pope was given a Ferrari.  He hit a tree on the first drive as he was racing a member of his flock.  The donors were furious, but when it was learned that the accident occurred because the Pope was avoiding a collision with the other car which was on an incorrect line through the turn, a hand came down and restored his car.  – A wagon wheel with spoke reinforcements at the hub – An inverted airfoil (3-1-10)
• A long story about one of the Devil’s people who turned sour and made a practice of duping enlisted men out of their paychecks at a number of bases.  As time went on, charges against him escalated.  Both the Devil and the old man personally went after him, but the story ended with no clear conclusion. – A ring coffee cake topped with a little white icing – A very smooth planet repositioning.  (3-12-10)

Continued probing with IPv8 has yielded considerable support for the Baudrillard argument, basics of which are a core element of  Triad development.  Implications are reflected in these Phase VII & VIII impressions.

• The Pope’s mitre  (VII, 6.30.10)
• A Phantom tail section as seen from the rear – A short story about the effect on the sport when the Devil drove a demonstration turn around the track in a Ferrari because he liked the red.  (VIII, 7.26.10)
• The Devil showed up at a billiards game, had a couple of jokes, the second with an android, went about eight feet high, a big ho-ho, and left with the android. – Wide open, hilly, treeless, grass covered terrain with an occasional ravine  (VIII, 8.16.10)
• A procession of restored cars from the ’60s and ’70s – A funnel with its axis horizontal (VIII, 9.1.10)
