Cyber-Future TED Words

 Experiment In A Bell Jar


cyberocracy
cyberwar
netwar
swarming
noopolitik
the nexus-state 

TED words all...

When I read TED words, particularly things like "Noopolitik", I think of the film O, Brother! Where Art Thou?
I think of Ralph Stanley intoning O, Death...
I think of klan members marching, and I remember meaningless mumblings with the letter "k".

Language and Knowledge can be used as a way to exclude, to separate. Just as the economic regime supports a tendency to gross inequity, so does our system of speech.

We are all Trayvon Martin and George Zimmerman, homunculi in a bell jar, subjects of the experiments of a mediaeval elite.
