]]> Comment on Reverse colonization: blue people invade semiosphere by Jake http://mediacology.com/2010/02/13/reverse-colonization-blue-people-invade-semiosphere/comment-page-1/#comment-4915 Jake Wed, 17 Feb 2010 05:53:52 +0000 http://mediacology.com/?p=1994#comment-4915 Both videos were poignant in their own ways. I wouldn't have ever thought of Palestinians as a tribe a la Avatar, but there it is. The tribes in India seemed a bit more direct at least in terms of message, and there is little in print about tribes in India, so it was nice to see some footage. But what's really messed up about all of it is that we still haven't learned. For a while now (at least since colonialism) we've been following a similar trajectory with similar results! Amazing that certain behaviors persist... I looked up semiosphere on wikipedia, and part of what the term doesn't capture is the material reality that symbols then create - are there authors who go farther with this, i.e. from the realm of symbols to action? I saw that it was related to umwelt, which appropriately enough in this context can be translated as "self-centered world" But I support that can be one of the functions or outcomes of media, intentional or not - to get us out of the umwelt into a semiosphere where new creativity or action can be explored. Perhaps the value in Avatar and other similar films is precisely that - art imitating life where different paths might be imagined in history right here and now.

This kind of debate would in many ways could reduce the number of episodes of each pundit because when you see them face to face, it's like a different quality emerges, where they are co-creating a narrative rather than responding to one another in seemingly parallel (though alternate) universes. It's almost like high art in the media landscape...

I havent even read or watched anything on this page. But I just noticed the name Bruce Lipton and the title. And Im already very excited. Bruce's name is familiar to me from a reference in Gregg Braden's book "the spontaneous healing power of belief - Shattering the paradigm of false limits". Much love! Interesting!

I sure hope so. We cannot move into the future unless we have understood our past. Zeitgeist Addendum is about Solutions. Maybe solutions that you have never heard before. Anyway. Its been a long time. Im sure you've seen it and are part of the movement. :) Much love, Mike Have you watched the Zeitgeist Addendum?
