Occasionally I'll head on over to the Army Times to see what the bullshit being slung to the enlisted is currently.
And this thing is a goldmine of data for any intelligence analyst. Oh it's not what they say, or what the spin is. None of that is important. What is important is the underlying assumptions of common knowledge and the data that is given, assuming that such data is freely available.
It's a good question. It's usually asked of children. I am not trying to suggest any such mentality among my readers, but rather am trying to break down the most recent political events in a manner that simplifies the garbage spewed by the MSM into easily digestible and contemplated facts.
In the Town of Tillamook, they have a very curious but long standing custom. The "Feast
Of Capital" is seen mostly as a children's holiday, but is an intrinsic part of
understanding Dealer Culture.
The fire sale was surprisingly lively for an early morning. Here and there people rushed
into the burning building, removing objects to the dibs pile while just as frantically the
presumed owners of the home did the same, occasionally dropping an item into the
deductible pile which sat next to the Peedee.
I've gotten a lot down here, enough so that I don't feel like I'm flying into this completely blind. For those just joining me, this is my final little jaunt into world building and exploration of the Earth, 500 years from now. It's a Post-Industrial, Non-Dystopian world, where most of the things we most fear nowadays have come to pass, and yet people are surprisingly OK with it.
Welcome back to my brainstorming/development for "Nemo" a non-dystopian, Post-Industrial novel. This idea sprang from my interest in post-industrial fiction, but really blossomed into full flower when I combined it with my love of Age of Sail ships and exploration/Adventure stories.
Continuing of my Brainstorming sessions for "Nemo" a Post-Industrial, non-dystopian novel/series which I will be beginning as my National Novel Writing Month project, starting November 1st.
As usual, Mood music. Feeling a bit Piratey today.
I must admit something. I did not know when I started writing this what the significance of "Nemo" was. I knew the word was evocative of characters and had a long literary and mythical tradition, but how it applied to this post industrial world was still a mystery to me until I thought about the history of the world, and the general attitude of people to unreasonable authority.
Welcome to my Brainstorming/Development of "Nemo", a post-industrial, non-apocalyptic, slightly hopeful look forward at the world in 500 years. This is imagined as a series, whether it ends up in book or screenplay form depends on the whims of fate. I will say, National Novel Writing Month is starting in a few days, and It may help the process for me to publish the chapters here for a bit to work out the first draft.
Still having fun with this, a LOT of fun with this, so I am continuing.
So let's start with a little mood music for describing the overland adventures. I'm going with Knopfler again, because his music is evocative and also has just enough electric to be feasible in a post-industrial world.
