"Few years ago we dared to think that the internet could be an alternative
to manipulation. It has been, but i fear that it is already over except for
a very restricted community or initiatives."Emmanuelle Baron
<manouchka@lia.imt-mrs.fr>


    Emmanuelle brings up a point yet mentioned. Manipulation. In my personal
infowar, the battle going on in my head, I've thought a lot about being
manipulated by information. I came to arealization that, for now, living in
this binary mode that information has implemented at a very core level, the
opposite, the opposing force of manipulation would be stimulation, just as
creation wars with consumerism, as imagination wars with information etc
etc. If any thing comes from these info wars, it will bethat information so
saturates so overwhelms our present bandwidth of understanding and the noise
bleed beyod the current spectrum will allow us a new degree of freedom,
manifested it what would now be labeled a heightened sense of intuition.
This sense of "intuition" will allow fact to be viewed from various
information perspectives at faster and seemingly simultaneous moments.

    Old quote from some old man , currently in political prison, which might
have to do with infowar " In my minds eye I set fire to your cities!"
