A manageable world. With <em>comprehensible<\/em> endings and <em>right<\/em> beginnings. With <em>coherent<\/em> reality. With identifiable villains. With heroes of human strengths and weaknesses. Just something other than this mess of an Earth, which many are seeing at present.<\/p>\n<p><!--more-->Reading all of the &#8211; yes &#8211; phantastic synopsises makes me pine for something else, too. Something beyond the escape of controllable reality.<\/p>\n<p>It makes me feel like quitting writing, myself. What&#8217;s the use? Allegorical stories of desperation and resolution amount to nothing. Stories of personal empowerment in a predominantly American religiously, sexually repressed society with a focus on personal wealth, the right to kill, &#8220;getting there first&#8221; etc. Headache pills for me, for readers, to take attention away from the real pain: That life is becoming less manageable for the species. That maybe we are losing the game of civilisation &#8211; like the fabled lemmings going uncontrollable towards the edge of the petri dish that is the edge of Earth sustainability.<\/p>\n<p>Dilemma: Not following news, literature, cinema, podcasts, theatre, ballet, sculpture, pictorial art, performance artists, global watch, refugees, poverty&#8230; is one less voice added to the collective of voices that realise each others&#8217; existence. One Voice Less is a smaller Earth and one more hand to the military-industrial complex, un-controlled capitalism, un-leashed research and pollution of earth and water and air.<\/p>\n<p>How be at ease, knowing the forces that move?<br \/>\nHow be at peace, not knowing?<\/p>\n<p>I know no other solution than to focus on what *I* can most easily understand: My own culture, the pitfalls of my own language and norms, the possible convergences of global destiny as contributed to from the sweet spot of &#8220;home&#8221;. While avoiding all cultural offerings NOT aiding a global solution. NO MORE avenging lone wolfs. NO MORE gun love. NO MORE violence is the answer. NO MORE single country representing the whole world.<\/p>\n<p>EVERYTHING happens to all. There\u00a0is ALWAYS another take on things &#8211; even if it outside of the frame of the story and the camera. Because of people and curiosity.<\/p>\n<p>But fuck, just saying this makes me tired.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A very very loong list of scifi and fantasy in development (2018).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":13467,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[20,2190,16,231,2222,63,18],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-13464","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-bevidsthed","category-books","category-bger","category-civilisation","category-community","category-fantasy","category-science-fiction"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/krabat.menneske.dk\/kkblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13464","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/krabat.menneske.dk\/kkblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/krabat.menneske.dk\/kkblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/krabat.menneske.dk\/kkblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/krabat.menneske.dk\/kkblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=13464"}],"version-history":[{"count":8,"href":"https:\/\/krabat.menneske.dk\/kkblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13464\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":14634,"href":"https:\/\/krabat.menneske.dk\/kkblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13464\/revisions\/14634"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/krabat.menneske.dk\/kkblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/13467"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/krabat.menneske.dk\/kkblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=13464"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/krabat.menneske.dk\/kkblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=13464"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/krabat.menneske.dk\/kkblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=13464"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
