design for 2012

Do you remember the big 2001 bug, everything was supposed to fail, the technological world should have collapsed… And you’re reading this blog.

Fear must have been the most powerful influence on politics, economy, family, personal emancipation since… forever. Some might say we are driven by our desires, I think we can attribute an equal responsability to fear, may it be of the father, the police, the state, satan, eternal damnation… So this is an opportunity for incredible power, for the ones that would propose a swindler type placebo solution… Do we want to be one of those, exploiting peoples fears? Or shall we bring -almost realistic- design proposal, like bunkers (aren’t they -fallout shelters- perfect objects of mind control?). And what if it really happens?

I don’t know if you heard about it, but the world -as we know it- is said to go through an extraordinary change pretty soon. They are supposingly many scientific correlationsand prophecies : The mayan calendarending, the real peak oil (graph above with different theories) or its aftermath, the end of Kyoto protocol, 7 billion humans on earth, eventually World Wide 3 (George Bush proposing World Wide 3 video), globalpandemic, the opening of freedom tower (ground zero), pole shift, (geomagnetic reversal), galactic alignment, we have our doomsday clock telling us how many minutes we are to “midnight“.

We have many ways to look at a plausible apocalypse (2012 doomsday video) more or less sound. So much mysteries, what do people expect from such an event? Freedom? Sudden death? A new Age? What can we sell them to celebrate (HAHAHAHAHAH!)? Make the end -new beginning- more comfortable? What is the relation of causality between our fear-desire (hypothesis of collective-conciousness) for the event and it’s actual happening? 

Today, what we call doomsday device is this :

Many hypothetical doomsday devices are based on the fact that salted hydrogen bombs can create large amounts of nuclear fallout.

Not very nice, it is called a planet killer  (could be an asteroid)… We might not die of it directly but of itsfallout, very gradually. Shouldn’t there be many different protective doomsday devices? Friendly ones! Shall we get out of this dominator culture?

It doesn’t matter if it is true or false, but anxiety is there… What to do of this anxiety? If we (humans) survive, shall we design longer term? Something completely out of cultural references, and according tocosmic patterns? Can we offer this “out of time” mind control - kingdom? How to embody such idea? Here is a nice forum of this crazyness. Enjoy life… NOW !
