ESSAYS: MONTH #217
"introducing the discussion around mass media along with the many myths on the great deluge which somehow pointed out how the deluge was sent because humans were just too noisy now also considering hos the ship-civilization is in itself very restless and this restlessness disrupt the natural balance and rather than learning to quiet down so as not to provoke more crisis it just rushes the tempo and come the world ships and their flotilla configuration start clashing with one another without even the necessity to send a new great flood and in all of this the medium plays its role of a propaganda machine stimulating the crews to go n such suicidal trajectory"
ESSAYS: MONTH #218
"conceiving the ship-civilization as made of state within states and corporations within corporations perciving how this system of placing even people in various compartments prevents any revolt because no one can perceive any difference or is either way incapable to show it and argue against it getting here inspired by the khozhdeniye v narod russian movement of going to the people seeing that this is by now no longer conceivable under such an artificial construction as if all people are already in different jails"
ESSAYS: MONTH #219
"departing from the hypothesis that media is the extension of human beings and paraphrasing marshal mcluhan and arnold toynbee but also tolstoy that it is not merely an extension but it also has its setbacks with the crew on board of the ship turning completely neurotic and to this end thinking of arkists as those who should fully remove themselves from such kind of extension and rather keep at the ship perimeter and there focus on reconnecting with the natural environment also connecting to all other arkists in a circular fashion "
ESSAYS: MONTH #220
"insisting on the ship having evolved from a mere industrial apparatus to a more sophisticated machine endowed with a neural system which is turning it more and more autonomous and wishes more and more to eradicate all the nature even from humans themselves facilitating their bodily mutations and the creation of artificial identities which arkists oppose by creating natural identities so as to eventually regain a common sense which can enable them take up the task of preparing for a new society back in nature"
ESSAYS: MONTH #221
"considering how the media in used by the ship tends to expand its tentacles removing life from reality while the arkist lifeboat tends to contain life and regenerate it also considering how it would be useless to bring this life back to the ship as it would be immediately suck up from it but seeing the position of arkists as very central since at the margins of the ship they can both have an objective distance from the ship itself while also contemplating the environment where a new ecological society can be established"
ESSAYS: MONTH #222
"reflecting on the fact that as soon as arkism as a movement makes it to propagate its ideas among the crew there either going to be some more conservative responses criticizing the ark as a container or some progressive responses criticizing the ark for its content but either way having to make this effort of propagation so as to give a mission to people who might be already building arks without the focus of liberation clear in their heads"
ESSAYS: MONTH #223
"talking about the unregulated voracity of the ship and its crew conceiving how new form of consumerism is actually in the selling of new consumer goods to moderate the consumption of old consumer goods seeing how progressively this trend is turning humans more mindless and talking of arkism as the way to instead recover mindfulness which is at the base of evolution"
ESSAYS: MONTH #224
"thinking out loud how traumatic has been the introduction of modernity especially in those populations that were so linked to their natural environments and were not under the yoke of a feudal aristocracy but then also reflecting on how wrong it is to develop technologies in the hope of restoring this link with nature while in the first place what is needed is the developments of ritualistic techniques to find in the first place the meanings to bond us back to it something only humans in their local reality can enhance and something arkism proposes to do via lifeboats"
ESSAYS: MONTH #225
"considering mass media as fomenting protests which are by now only carried forward by a middle class who has accepted a priori their conditions of captives of the ship who wants more freedom only in the form of more laws and more authority to the ship in turn removing the possibility of eliminating the very source of all problems that is the ship itself with arkists on the contrary trying to develop their own personal media as a way of recovering their mindfulness and preparing with their lifeboats to disembark the ship"
ESSAYS: MONTH #226
"conceiving new media as only means of transition from one form of establishment to another and also discussing the fact that since media and bureaucracy goes hand in hand it results that those people who are more compliant to bureaucracy and therefore less to their nature are the ones climbing the power pyramid in tun making authorities the more detached to nature and the more unnatural overall suggesting then arkists ought to develop their own media frameworks so as to instead foment a counter-power that is from begin with linked to their persona natural and that of their immediate surroundings"
ESSAYS: MONTH #227
"going more in details about the concept of media and how it had in fact cemented the destiny of the natural world to that of the ship and in this respect suggesting that arkists ought to develop their own media as a way to unlink from such a destiny and recover instead a their natural destiny and the sensibility not only to live in harmony with nature but to exalt it"
ESSAYS: MONTH #228
"discussing what one ought to define as fascist and seeing that there has never been something more fascist than the ship-civilization turning its crew in bureaucrats and the rest of humanity into at the lower strata people forced to extract the minerals for the new information technology and in the middle strata people who has to assemble it and in the upper strata the actual bureaucrats creating a vicious establishment where ironically those who wants to hop out from it have no possibility to learn from others who might still retain and are about to lose their traits as autonomous communities living according to a democracy of consensus"
ESSAYS: MONTH #229
"talking about the necessity for humans to be part of the process of production and engage with their local environments not as the new slaves of the natural world but making use of technical and scientific knowledge to occupy only part of their days in such a toil and the reminder working more in engaging with their inner nature in this respect creating a good balance and avoiding to departure from it keeping concrete and in no need for authorities"
ESSAYS: MONTH #230
"reflecting on how the main human occupation on board of the ship is to provide a surplus service which is not necessary per se but only makes the crew ever more dependent and in this sense conceiving arkism as a way not of just eliminating this service but of replacing it with a more local and therefore more ecological cultural apparatus that starts from the very individuals and what they ca manifest living in accordance to their own nature"
ESSAYS: MONTH #231
"heavily inspired by mumford writing how the whole ship venture is a venture of completely detaching humans from nature and even if a ship turns into a city-garden the issue remains in that it is not in the exposure to nature that human mind is generated but it is in its active engagement with it and it is in this engagement that humans can recover their healthy balance with the environment and their natural evolution of their incredible consciousness which is by now jeopardized by a process of turning the planet into yet another inorganic rock of a most lifeless universe"
ESSAYS: MONTH #232
"comparing the human crew confined on the ship as carnivorous plants of a massive green house with arkists instead cultivating their nature rather than turning it beastly therefore willing to get off the ship and begin a social ecology not as primitive people but as highly cultivated and mindful individuals who in the making of their lifeboats acquire a broad knowledge and skills"
ESSAYS: MONTH #233
"departing from stoic philosophy suggesting that arkists ought to see reality for what it is stripping it from the uniforms the hierarchical ship applies to them and depicting the ship as unable to have any longer a clear vision with much smog surrounding it turning the scientific crew with all its instruments most paranoid and irrational which eventually will lead it to declare a total war against its own ghosts"
ESSAYS: MONTH #234
"getting more and more convinced of the fact that humans have reached such a know-how allowing them to set up more decentralized productions center based on collaboration with one another which would in turn enable communities to re-establish a link with both the natural environment but also their own nature so as to create the necessary local culture to biodiversify once again a planet dying out of all the monocultivation the centralized industry has set about"
ESSAYS: MONTH #235
"taking a further step in thinking that not only do the ship-civilization separate humans from the natural environment but also it separates it from its own nature and the incredible genius each human could develop for the sake of a true and ecological diversity discussing how already in the educational system provided by the ship the new generation is a priori castrated of its genius and the possibility to mature and develop in accordance to its nature which is what arkism instead encourages to do in the periphery of the ship"
ESSAYS: MONTH #236
"discussing how humanity gave up all its autonomy in the hope that the ship would take full care of it and seeing how in order to pursue this the ship itself is attempting to also get the whole of the environment under its command as if if it was going to be fully placed in a greenhouse regulated by a mega computer turning the world into a garden of eden in which the only mortal sin is the demand for autonomy arkists attempt to regain for the sake of a self-governing and real life"
ESSAYS: MONTH #237
"acknowledging that nature can be also a very hostile environment especially at this point when the ship-civilization as stripped humanity of the mindfulness with which it made so rich and cozy and inviting arkists to restart the fire within them and by so doing begin to aspire to the natural world giving less power to the ship that is so much destroying it to have its artificial environment prevail"
ESSAYS: MONTH #238
"discussing how the authorities on board of the ship point their fingers at the people saying that they destroyed mother nature and therefore they have to delegate more power to them so that they can fix the situation but here pointing out that the arkists way of thinking is rather that the hierarchical and centralized societies the authority are in command of are the main cause of disruption of the natural balance and that the only organicity that is left to return to more organic and human-scale societies os to begin by cultivating their human nature and come to constitute lifeboats"
ESSAYS: MONTH #239
"reporting on how an autocratic imposition of villagization had terrible results in modern history but how necessary it is for humanity to get back to the village as its natural structure in which equality and ecology can be maintained despite the fact that the centralized structure of the ship civilization will never consent this sort of movement and despite the fact that the middle class crew is either way too spoiled by the epicurean lifestyle discussing in this respect the necessity to embrace a stoic like discipline so as to make a zeno like republic possible"
ESSAYS: MONTH #240
"reflecting on how the more the ship is successful the more mother nature looses and is no longer able to be spontaneous and regenerate itself but turns delirious thinking how in taoist terms it would be naive to consider a yin and yang relationship but rather the unnatural and unbalance take over of one form over the other with arkists now having to strictly not comply with it so as to be able to make it out like dots representing their lifeboats"
ESSAYS: MONTH #241
"while advocating for a world without borders debating the fact that the type of solidarity actuated by the leftist authorities rescuing migrants is in fact a way to further denaturalize humans and their chance to reform their organic societies in this respect finding that a counter-movement against the transformation into ships of all the world nations can only begin from the more established ships"
ESSAYS: MONTH #242
"thinking in relation to garrett hardin's lifeboat ethic how wrong he was in considering migrants as swimmers and lifeboats as nation proposing the arkist revision of this ethic which sees nations as ships and migrants as those who are keener to think of lifeboats to get out the ships and prepare to return to nature in the process already becoming a so much needed diversity"
ESSAYS: MONTH #243
"claiming that there is no longer any distinction to be made between the political left and the political right but they are both complicitly enforcing the ship leaving the outcast caught in the tendencies they promote and that leads him or her to become an astronaut soldier who is far from any ideal but is fully dependent to the ship and even begins to experience deformities concluding that there is a need for another movement that ought to be anti-ship and in this sense bring its memebers to build lifeboats to become themsevles out-casted back to the planet"
ESSAYS: MONTH #244
"bringing few more metaphors in the picture with bauman's comparison of the state as a gardener and thoreau's comparision of civilization to a locomotive arguing that the situation now is even worse on a ship that is fully hermetic but where still arkists can find their corner where to also build ships like everybody else but not meant to contribute to the main ship whose agenda is all about ultimately departing from the planet and taking again the hunter-gatherer example as a society that survuved in the most deserted environments which could be similar to the one arkists will have to deal with once the ship will have departed and they will be left on earth as a lost wagon of the space-locomotive"
ESSAYS: MONTH #245
"insisting that arkism ought to be a movement in order to begin the journery to return back to nature starting from humans on the ship acting like hunter-gatherers in order to fill their lifeboats and in doing so recovering to begin with their lost and desertified human nature which will subsequentally lead them to desire to reconnect to a social group and have their autonomous space in nature in which to thrive"
ESSAYS: MONTH #246
"finding it absurd that insitutionalized anarchists like noam chomsky see in the whithering of civilization a genocide when civilization in the first place have been marked by genocide and still commits a slow genoicde of the human race along with the ecocide of the planet and considering how a gradual preparation is need to make it back to the wilderness but not in a pragmatic sense but in the first place bringing the wilderness back in the human soul reactivating its consciousness and in this sense developing a rather eclectic ecology within that in itself constitute an antagonist force to power bringing nature back on the table"
ESSAYS: MONTH #247
"inspired by theodore roszak's thinking of eco-psychology trying to push his idea further by cleaiming that also a vision is needed and that is not only that of be autonomous from the ship while recovering consciousness but also the vision making off the ship and be ready to make it back to the natural world and have even the power to boost its healing after so much exploitation by the megamachine of the ship"
ESSAYS: MONTH #248
"through the studying of hunter-gatherers it is clear to state that they did not wish to control the environment bu they had a great control of themselves while in civilization the contrary has occurred and increasingly so to the point that humans like arkists goes back to tracking like their ancestors getting to track themselves and the surroundings and become highly aware as highly aware were hunter-gatherers switching the human energy from aspiring vertically to aspiring to be part once again of the horizon"
ESSAYS: MONTH #249
"endorsing the native people's perspective but claiming that by now even them are fully captive within the ship of civilization and claiming that if there was one myth to keep them in common it is the myth of the deluge and the ark that was built in one way or another to survive it and that is what everyone should think in doing since the ship greatest talent is that of disturbing the gods of the horizon with all its noise and the noise need by people on board of it to be entertained or simply the discontent it generates leading to protest but also the wars and the rhetoric needed to maintain the power structure of this ship disturbing mother nature to the point that new arks are needed to be built by silent individuals like arkists"
ESSAYS: MONTH #250
"insisting that not only the ship-state generates a vertical power that is detrimental to humans and the environment but that it also systematically crashes all the possibility to generate a more horizzontal type of power that is in turn regenerative and sustainable and in order to achieve this while captive on board of the ship humans have to act like their ancestors hunter-gatherers not hunting and gathering for food but hunting and gathering for their lost connections with themselves and their surroundings and setting up personal methods to be aware of them and engage back with them in this way coming to create the lifeboats that are needed to disembark the ship's suicidal mission and compensate its verticality with horizzontality"
ESSAYS: MONTH #251
"debating that perhaps the focus should not be whether society ought to be decentralized in a more paleolithic fashion or in a neolithic one but the focus ought to be to begin with in ceasing to power the power-structure by establishing arkist-like practices of re-engagement with nature eventually coming to set up the necessary lifeboats to cease the megamachine of the ship altogether and resume society in a decentralized fashion just trying to readjust a coexistence with a natural world that will anyway need its time to heal and might necessitate humans to be more neolithic to begin with while aspiring for a total rebirth of the wilderness and human societies reactivated within it"
ESSAYS: MONTH #252
"rethinking the arkist equation by which the rights implemented on the richer ship-states are at the expenses of the poorer ships but also seen how within the very ship the political agendas that tend to favour the population are detrimental to the environment and those that tend to favour the environment are detrimental to the population only seen in the total collapse of the centralized power-structure governing the ship a feasible alternative for human society to regain its direct and uninterfered coexistence with the environment without constantly a power structure enforcing everyone to work for it and provide to it resources that are soon no longer available seen how human sacrifice and human blood is the ultimate resource to feed the system"
