The greatest dilemma ever told (#medialit) by Antonio http://mediacology.com/2012/02/04/buying-in-or-selling-out-the-greatest-dilemma-ever-told-medialit/comment-page-1/#comment-6498 Antonio Sun, 05 Feb 2012 08:31:17 +0000 http://mediacology.com/?p=2465#comment-6498 Dianna, yes I love John Trudell. I saw him perform once--as a sign of his humility he no longer wears shoes. I used to use his work when I taught on the rez, although I have to admit the kids didn't really like his work--too much of a generational difference. I'll have to check out the documentary. I didn't know there was one. He has lived quite a life! Dianna, yes I love John Trudell. I saw him perform once–as a sign of his humility he no longer wears shoes.

It reminds me of trying to teach deconstruction of misogyny in media using misogynistic media images. Beyond that and very much connected with Shaker's comments, may I highly recommend that you purchase and listen to a copy of John Trudell's JT DNA: Descendant Now Anscestor. I have thought of several of the the ideas Trudell speaks of here, yet he lays it down in a perfectly coherent framework that moves from talk tohis indigenous rap poetry (I have a strong sense that you know of Trudell given your indigenous connectedness, if you do not know of him, you may also consider viewing the doc TRUDELL for an insight into this man's experiences/history). I agree with Trudell-- and the in-depthML that I teach that includes the economic systems that that these media systems are created in , human ecology, and mediaecology,ML becomes for me this miniscule scratch on the surface of a paradigm that is so very vast and dark there is no possible way to "fight" back-- (I do not discount educaton as an opening-- still essential) and that disengaging in the paradigm individually and hopefully collectively is a possible solution-- I hope this makes sense-- the beautiful sun is streaming in my face so I can barely see the screen and I just woke up and must go #occupy now-- my weekly commitment to the movement in a quiet little town on the Outer Cape (Cod, MA) . Material Worl vs. Spiritual World: Pledge of Allegiance! Great rant, Antonio–

I believe it will take conscious citizenship to keep the Internet a viable space for global awakening. It could easily become a shopping mall with government surveillance if we don't stay on top of things (as a good portion of the Internet has already become).

I think the internet is capital for the evolution of global counciousness, which is the only way to stop destruction (some believe that can be accomplished by keeping earth population under 500 millions, but that would be counciousness regression [tss, god-playing fools…]). So maybe that 2% energy consumption is kind of an investment. The internet may be the medium needed to share enlightment and progressively lead us to change lifestyle and seek freedom (especially from materialism). So the internet may be essential to save ourselves. The planet isn't endangered, it can restore itself in a million or a billion years. What is endengered is life as we know it. Hi there.
