About "A Gift" -UnWords to set you free. The Dr. presents "A Gift" (a pleasant and well-compressed cartoon) to all his friends. Tesla-K's "A Gift" consists of three short scenes. Each scene shows the buildup and consequent deconstruction of a paralogism that has puzzled mankind and held back our development for centuries. These obstructive delusions are: 1:Thought -Freedolph (the cyberdolphin who deserted the military to aid Tesla-K on his quest) shows us how to "Un/Think" If we can free ourselves from the shackles of educated compliance we are free to dream of a world of continuous and ever expanding growth for all. 2:Death -Then Tesla-K shows us the only way to get out of our transient state: "Un/Die" You are MADE to think you are mortal. Just dodge the bullet. 3:Freedom -This last step is up to you. "Un/Slave" Understanding the first two Un/Words (...) will free you and make that last step a small one.(But a big leap forward) Here's some background while enjoying "A gift"... You probably remember Alfred Korzybski and his Non Aristotelianism. That's how I know of a mathematician called Weyl, who wrote: "Indeed, the first difficulty the man in the street encounters when he is taught to think mathematically is that he must learn to look things much more squarely in the face; his belief in words must be shattered; he must learn to think more concretely" To think concretely... a man who thinks in terms of structure, rules and laws would not know how do it any other way. Mathematics is not fuzzy at all. Every time mathematicians present "proof" of a thesis.... they will use mathematics... which is an abstract philosophy completely walled in by structure, strictly bound by rules and forever imprisoned by laws. There is no escape. A mathematician will never think "out of the box". A fuzzy philosopher easily deconstructs Weyl's thought and builds upon it a wild and blossoming new reality: "The first happiness man experiences when he unthinks is that he can see things as pure as they are; his belief in death will be shattered; he is truly free" You are not bound by structure. You are free to roam the wide expanse of our collective unstructeredness and you are free to build whatever you envision! This is a little of what a gift is about. And there's a bonus: A 41 second dance clip, to the tune of "Soldier's Joy", as performed on the harmonica by Pat Ford. One day it will be peace, friends. Stop fighting and come dance with us in Our Society Of Friends. UnSee it and enjoy! Be safe! Yours Truly, Tesla-K
