THE DISPATCH
 
Weekly transmissions from [ Adbusters ]( [link removed] ), the journal of the mental environment  
 
Aesthetic winter is upon us. The 20th century was all logic and rationality, mathematical lines and ever decreasing circles, cycling into insane data-based robotic anti-humanity. We sanitized our lives, looking for cleanliness and godliness and landed on delusions of grandeur. Now the world’s messy, dark and angry again, a feral environment designed for high risk survivors. We learned to live as tranquil as tadpoles in a pond, savage as wolves in the woods. Blossom in the chaos of nature, pure and timeless; streaks of light across the cosmos — welcome to a century of redemption. Witness our vision of a vital new sensibility in this week's AESTHETICO burst — and the birth of the Mental Liberation Front in our new issue, AB 148!  
 


 
Planetary Endgame  

Transmission from 3019: "A thousand years ago your heroic forebears subjugated the whole of planet Earth to the power of OneState. It is for you to accomplish an even more glorious feat. ... Yes: to unbend the wild curve, to straighten it tangentially, asymptotically, to flatten it to an undeviating line. Because the line of OneState is a straight line. The great, divine, precise, wise straight line — the wisest of all lines."

AB 148: Birth of the Mental Liberation Front  

 If you want to fix democracy, make secrecy taboo. If you want to stop the media mindfuck, impose a psychic tax. If you want to rein in the power of corporations, kill the corporate “I”. If you want to fix the economy, pull off a paradigm shift in economics. If you want to halt global warming, make the price of products tell the ecological truth. And if you want to stop our spiral into a long dark age, then admit that straight lines are godless and immoral. In this issue, we unleash a force to crack the global mind. Welcome to the Mental Liberation Front.    [ Get this issue ]( [link removed] )

When I heard loud voices off in the distance, I would tell myself that the overworked people were just laughing, not screaming.

[ Anaesthetic Ideology ]( [link removed] )  

There is the dream of an alternate aesthetic, of a world in which aestheticized experience worked only on things that were ordinary, on things that really did happen to most of us in the everyday.
