Geert asked me to throw this into the INFOWAR vortex:

Although I think the topic is a good one, I wonder if the first step in
promoting INFOPEACE is to stop seeing the world as Darwinian - which
presumes a menacing scientific stance of absolute knowledge, objectivity,
and control - and more as a synthetic dream/nightmare which we are
subjectively, and responsibly bound up with. ((See Foucault, the Frankfurt
School, the Upanishads, and Pop Eye the Sailor Man)).

As Gandhi and Martin Luther King promoted: operate with LOVE, from
beginning to end. It may be more effective in the long run than an attitude
of attack. WAR IS A SELF-FULFILLING PROPHECY. All information ferments and
multiplies when antagonized.

I just want to register my vote for emphasizing AN ATTITUDE OF LOVE in the
infosphere. It's hard to do (I've screwed up love a-plenty), but infinitely
more *strategic*. Here are a few 'bionic codes' for stimulating the immune
system against war-consciousness in the infosphere:

   >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>ORBIT PROBES VIA MUTUAL BOUNCE<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
   >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>LINK WITH DISTRESSED BEINGS<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
   >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>LINK VIA INFANT NODE<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
   >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>COIL INTO GENTLE LINKAGE<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
   >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>BYPASS ELITIST NODES<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
   >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>PROBE BEYOND ASSUMED NICHE<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
   >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>CIRCULATE ALL SENSATION<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
   >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>LINK AND SEEK LINKS<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
   >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>EQUALIZE SEDUCTION<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
   >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>EQUALIZE WITH OTHER BEINGS<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
   >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>LINK ENEMIES<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

And in the meantime, I suggest turning the dialogue back a few postings to
Ricardo's Dominguez' non-violent methods of scrambling the war machine in
support of the workers in Chiapas, Mexico. That had a lot of protein.
