This document discusses starting a small magazine called "Survival and Luxury" with just one page to begin. It encourages anyone who is interested in the title or wants to be a reader or dreamer to reach out. The second part talks about needing an operations manual for a spaceship but the captain says they don't need one and just follow the light of the sun. A crew member pushes back saying the ship has cracks and they need to know how to operate the mechanics. The captain then tells them to solve the problem themselves within the constraints of not designing a totalitarian system and respecting the existing copyright of how the spaceship works.
1. Survival and Luxury
magazine
Basically I started today (23-01-12) this magazine.
I have no idea who would care.
Just have the gut feeling I need to do this, somehow.
If the title tickles your brain, let me know. We need some readers and dreamers.
Starting small, one page, a ramble ; Keep Baby Flying
2. Keep Baby Flying page 1 of
book experiment
me : Captain...
captain : Yes.
me : I am looking for the operation manual.
ca : There is no such thing.
me : But sir, how do you know what to do?
ca : Straight ahead, it's easy. We have auto-pilot. Never failed me.
me : I know, though we are a spaceship, people need to know how to operate it.
How do we know how to go?
ca : Are you crazy? We go around the sun, every year, how difficult is that,
just focus on the light.
me : But the ship sir, it has cracks everywhere!
ca : Pay attention in school boy! Those are tectonic plates, they have always
been there.
me : I don't care about those, I still have Wikipedia for that.
The mechanics of the ship, we don't know how to operate them.
ca : Ah, right. I see your point. It's about time.
(we stare in each others eyes for a second or two)
ca : Ok, off you go, you came with it, so you solve it.
As Oren said 'Earth has all the time in the world'. It seems we don't.
me : (walking to the hallway)
ca : Wait, remember! You can't design a totalitarian system.
Our spaceship has the copyright already.
It won't work within the big one. There is only one Boss. Everything in theory
needs to have a chance to grow beyond the old, on it's own means and dreams.
So only the basics boy! To keep OUR BABY FLYING !
me : Right... I am on it........ pfffffffffff
Somebody must have written it already. Where is that manual.
Bucky? John? Anybody?
This is the first page of a book. Paul van Zoggel rambles.
