You Cultural Veterans out there  will remember "Paradise Now" as the name of a Swell Brave Brilliant Fun Life Changing play by the "Living Theater" back in the Sixties. That plea kindness, and sanity still echo's in our society. 

The "Blue Wave" of Women when they took control of Congress in the 2018 elections was the latest expression of that desire. A world where all is shared, and introspection is a given. 

In the West we've been trying to bring such a world about for some centuries now. At least since the Peasant Revolts of the middle ages.  
Thanks to the Enlightenment the founding of the United States of America is an inconsistent ongoing try.  The attempted revolutions of the 19th, and 20th centuries...sadly just made things worse.


The 17th century Diggers of Britain. Google them folks. Perhaps the Great Grand Parents of assorted Utopians since...Abolitionists Suffragettes Beats Hippies early Civil, and Sexual Rights movements, and bunches of weird artists, and various visionaries', and nutters with hearts of gold.

Hakim Bey Ralph Chubb Allen Ginsberg James Baldwin Walt Whitman, and Harry Hay among many others known, and unknown come to mind.
Them diggers like the recent Beatniks Civil Rights folks Hippies Occupiers, and Blue Wavers just wanted the fucking Peaceable Kingdom.

They all wanted the goods produced to be held in common,...the land too. 

Basically all should be happy, and free with no one should living in want. The whole messy lot of us should share, and help all around us, and basically have a good time.

The Christians started out this way sort of before they became a religion, and started burning books, and people at the stake.

Pessimists would say that "We can Dream it, but still can't Do it". I think that Paradise is hard. Hard to dream, and Hard to make...not impossible, just Hard.

Making the Atomic bomb was hard too. 

However with total dedication, and the use of vast resources they made the damned thing,...and then plenty more of them. The maniacs have been refining it all ever since.



Imagine...remember the song?

Imagine if that sort of dedication vast resources, and some Pixie Dust were put towards the "Paradise Project".

I like that: "The Paradise Project"

Unlike the Manhattan Project nothing would be secret it would all be out in the open for all to see, and if they wanted to help with it. 

"Hey what are you folks doing?"

"...eh,...building the Golden Age,...I think...wanna help?

That's what we're doing. That's what thoughtful folks have been part of for all these centuries That's what we have to keep at no matter what. Just fucking do what you can, and hook up with others when you can. 

We'll get there.

  1. Yeah I know no one cares, and it will never happen anyway.

    Death Camps are far more likely.

    Still I had to say it. Even though as I wrote it I believed less, and less in each word as I typed it.

    I know what time it is.
