  1. Crônica: Aprender a morrer, uma questão política

    Reflexões após uma viagem lisérgica de “morte do ego”. Hoje, o medo da finitude exacerba – e magnatas da tecnologia já fantasiam com fórmulas para a vida eterna. Conciliar-nos com o fato de que há um fim pode ser ingrediente para sentir e agir de fato, inclusive coletivamente…

    In this the legendary 1978 Nova Convention, we hear interviews with organizer/poet John Giorno, followed by the uncut Nova Convention panel discussion unheard for decades. Moderator Les Levine masterfully guides panelists William S. Burroughs, Robert Anton Wilson, Timothy Leary and Brion Gysin. Listen to them re-imagining science fiction and foreseeing a culture yet to come.

    The Nova Convention was a three-day event, taking place in New York City on November 30, December 1 and December 2, 1978. Intended as a homage to William S. Burroughs, the “convention” included seminars, music performances, readings and more. Attending were an odd mixture of academics, publishers, writers, artists, punk rockers and counterculture disciples. The event had a small hitch. The organizers had announced Keith Richards’ attendance, which made the event a sellout. Richards’ last minute cancellation, however, gave the event an antagonistic oscillation between performer and audience.

    The series was originally produced by Giorno Poetry Systems for WBAI radio. The 2013 restoration comes from John Giorno’s private tapes. The effort is to restore, as completely as possible, the entire three-day event for for broadcast by the Clocktower Gallery radio station: https://clocktower.org/show/nova-convention-1978-the-third-mind

    I'd be more inclined to #listen to this old #podcast I found at the local #library

    Some of you might have a copy in your collection, if it's not still in your parent's collection. Be sure to go through it before someone else does! Or, I'm sure it's floating around somewhere.

    Turn on, tune in, drop out.

  7. Sundry Sunday: Duelin’ Firemen Trailer
    If you haven't seen it before (it made a trip around the blogs and such back in 2001), you really aren't prepared for Duelin' Firemen. The version that people saw then was really low quality though

    In the morning it will fade away

  11. Check out these digital images by #KeithHaring that were recently found on a floppy disc in #TimothyLeary's archives. Haring created these images on an Amiga computer in 1987 for a project with Leary that never came to fruition. Luckily we all get to enjoy these images today.

    More info here about these images and the original project here nypl.org/blog/2013/01/25/trans

  13. I read a great deal of Timothy Leary's work when I was in my early 20s, including most of the material cited in this article. I didn't even notice the extremely problematic eugenics angle at the time, but in retrospect, it's like a neon sign. This comes right on the heels of watching a video about Blavatsky's esoteric racism. Is every transhumanist movement destined to go down this dark path?
