thirst and guilt (over cheapened lives) are greatest throughout regions hardened and dried out due to us; our worst fears (turn into meaningless, dread and dead dust) can and must be turned inside out and assuaged with the acknowledgement that most dusts are but raw material, prelude and basic requirement for primal meanings of 'organi(ci)zation'; making and slaking them is worthy of (prioritizing and) our best efforts.
This was at the 1989 Earth First! Round River Rendezvous in the Jemez Mountains of New Mexico on June, 24, 1989.
After the first set was over, as the dinner break commenced, this guy Raven, who had played at a couple of campfires the previous couple of nights, went up on stage, joined with a couple of stragglers, and began a beautiful set of his original indigenous eco-warrior rock before a smattering of a few dozen stragglers.
He immediately grabbed my FULL attention with his first campfire rendition of this song, "White Buffalo Woman." This dude was serious. This guy was deep. I wanted to check this guy out. So I did.
What I noticed most was that he was the most ego-free person I had ever seen. Probably during the hour before this set, I approached him and started singing praises for his music. He told me that he was half Mexican and half Apache, I think. He lived in this region of New Mexico, so was local.
He wasn't some New Age new-shaman type. He was the real thing. He grew up with traditionals. He had no bravado, he was deadly serious about the tasks ahead.
Mostly, he was keeping his own company on the outskirts of the clusters of friends in the fields throughout the days of the rendezvous, but I noticed he was very friendly and laid back with people who approached him.
He and I hit it off right away. He gave me a home edited selection of a bunch of his songs, but later asked for it back and gave me another hand copied tape with even more songs.
We then planned to do an Earth First! road show together with his music and my Earth First! videos and, I think, a presentation on ancient forests of the Pacific Northwest.
We talked by phone a few times, but in the end he had to remain home to homeschool his son.
My life got crazy. My Earth First! group got car bombed, then I lost everything in the Oakland Firestorm, followed by five years of homelessness. So I lost touch.
But if you have heard of Raven Mitraska, or can help me find him, please let me know. I'd like to reconnect.

I DID A HALF-ASSED ATTEMPT TO CLEAN UP THE TRANSCRIPT .....
48:06 thanks for the invitation to reflect on California once again this time in its 48:13 science and science fiction settings
when I proposed a case of California in 48:18 1991 i postulated that when German language Emma Grey's in California 48:25 during the Nazi era saw reflected back on the coast their souvenir of the 48:30 German Europe they left behind. only tested cleansed reprojection as future 48:37 omen. the California attained consciousness while Germany also in 48:43 quotes confronted as problem the adolescence at the culture of butyl get 48:49 invented as ideal
germany in california i argued were the two coasts of the 48:56 traumatic history of the 20th century and the parameters of the long deferred 49:02 psychology of adolescence in psychoanalysis
today i am considering 49:11 briefly the core pursuit in cybernetics of what we might call the whole brain 49:17 which also bears in our understandingof mass psychology and simulation
49:30 Phillip K dick's simulacra the simulation of authority and of the neighbor is the social order society 49:38 carries out and the secret is ruling class keeps but it is a secret history 49:44 of the science fiction genre that dicks novel at the same time carries forward
49:49 ticks collected work inherited the metabolization of Germany in science 49:55 fiction from the establishment of German science fiction is the transformation of 50:00 the wound of gravity and grave into the Wonder or miracle of take off, Germany 50:07 as the problem and objective integration in the post-war future worlds of science 50:12 fiction in the similac road that confronts us with a new entity usea the 50:20 future state of cohabitation of the united states or california with germany
50:25 if there is a bicoastal dialectic whereby symptoms of nazi german providence wash up onto the coast then 50:32 dick brings it to its crisis point with the prospect of Germany's post-war integration so close to home in Do 50:41 Androids Dream of Electric Sheep and pubic the difficulty of this integration is represented as the ongoing social 50:48 problem of psychopathy in which the failure to empathize and more tests the 50:54 limits of Tolerance
the turtle that can still be kept us at 51:00 the mass housing units of the German California state in the Civil Opera sets 51:05 the place for the Android test in Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep in the 51:11 test situation of the film adaptation the first question or trigger looks at the extent of the subjects concern for a 51:19 tortoise flipped on its back baking in the Sun as 1972's a the Android of the 51:26 human, dick sets up cybernetics as external referee of the Android test by 51:32 selecting experiments with the robot known as tortoise as ex-employee of its 51:37 general method quote hmm cybernetics a 51:42 valuable recent scientific discipline articulated by the late Norbert Wiener, 51:47 saw valid comparisons between the behavior of machines and humans with the 51:53 view that a study of machines would yield valuable insights into the nature of our own behavior
by studying what 52:00 goes wrong with a machine for example when two mutually exclusive tropisms 52:06 function simultaneously in one of gray walter synthetic turtles producing 52:11 fascinatingly intricate behavior in the befuddled turtles learns perhaps a new 52:17 more fruitful insight into what Inhumans was previously called neurotic behavior
52:24 as in dix empathy tests there is in both Weiner and Walters analogy between 52:31 machine and men the intermediary step of the animal and wiener cybernetics or control and 52:37 communication of the animal on the machine we follow the animal step by implication when considering the brain 52:44 not specified as human brain in relationship unit quote
it is not the 52:50 empty physical structure of the computing machine that corresponds to the brain but the combination of the 52:56 structure with the instructions given it at the beginning of a chain of operations and with all the additional 53:02 information stored and gained from outside in the course of this chain this 53:07 information is stored in some physical form in the form of memory
according to 53:13 Walters the living brain cybernetics except where magical mimicry of life 53:19 left off copying external appearances and imitates scientifically performance 53:25 and behavior instead a mechanical imitation of life becomes a robot an 53:31 imitation of the living brain but it is endued with spontaneous motion I could 53:36 lay claim to autonomy more self-regulation quotient but if the 53:42 performance of a model has to be demonstrably a fair imitation of cerebral activity the conditions of 53:48 stimulation and behavior must equally be comparable with those of the brain not 53:55 in looks but in action the model must resemble an animal the first attempt to 54:03 render the rain leo robot that would imitate not the appearance but the performance or behavior of a living 54:09 creature seems you have been suggested by the your test of animal intelligence finding 54:15 the way out of the maze the robotic question Ashby's homeostatic fireside 54:22 cat or dog walter advises only stirs were disturbed and then methodically finds a comfortable position and goes to 54:29 sleep again what we find in this fireside companion is not only the virtue of self-control and the blessing 54:37 of homeostasis not only an eczema implication of acidity but also plasticity one of the basic principles 54:44 that seem to govern animal engineering this means roughly that every part of 54:50 the mechanism is reversible interchangeable and expendable but not replaceable in the self regulation or 54:59 self-reflexivity of disposable parts there is one place that remains inside 55:04 irreplaceable and extra
while Walter began making his tortoise in 1948 soon 55:12 to be featured in popular magazines as new addition to the domestic setting and 55:17 more immediately inherited two techniques mobilised during the Battle of Britain which crossed the inventors 55:23 mind when a colleague came to his research facility which was developing scanning mechanisms to track planes of 55:29 bombs to get imputing help with the planning and production of gold seeking missiles alter the two ideas gold 55:38 seeking and scanning had combined as the essential mechanical conception of a working model that would behave like a 55:45 very simple animal
Walters tortoise or more properly 55:50 machine especially tricks was able to demonstrate the first of several principles exemplified in the mechanisms 55:58 of most living creatures quote
a typical 56:03 animal propensity is to explore the environment rather than to wait passively for something to happen this 56:09 faculty gives the device its name and distinguishes it from other machines the most elaborate computing machine does 56:16 not look round for problems to solve
according to Walter the cybernetic 56:22 reliance of behaviorism derived from animal experiment and applied to the 56:27 mechanical explanation of the brain relegates particles artificial 56:32 intelligence via computing to the status of specialized support of the brain fact 56:39 arrangement and appraisal for example can be delegated to machinery just as management of our bodies long since was 56:47 delegated in its one-sidedness a computing model as Walter advises cannot 56:53 represent the general condition of the brain what we might call a whole brain of first view of which the 57:01 provided
Gotthard Guenther, the german 57:07 go Todd good job the German the Galleon philosopher who signed in a cyberneticist while on Exile of the 57:14 United States was commissioned by john w campbell to examine an articles for the 57:20 magazine astounding science-fiction the possible functioning and theory of 57:25 certain props of science fiction like the robot brain at the time Miller 57:31 indeed it has been suggested that it was through science fiction that he found his bearings in the New World also to 57:38 the extent that the departure from the classical Occidental tradition of thinking he followed found on its map 57:45 coincided with his ongoing work on a three valued logic that could supplement 57:51 Aristotelian logic Goethe does not so much argue with science fiction is a 57:56 cold war exclusive as that the java has always been American or anti american 58:02 science fiction is the first understanding of global culture the jump cut from primitive culture to world 58:09 culture and sir convention of the civilized past of the high cultures grounded in the East while primitive 58:17 culture was always a planetary phenomena the high cultures were tied to G rapidly 58:23 circumscribed areas of mother earth and time
by its ungrounded projection of 58:29 artificial habitats base a reason alone and its unabashed when you time science fiction was the first floor 58:36 for Western cultural aspirations unbound by the eastern past
science fiction 58:43 visions of outer space presuppose not only a universal planetary culture but 58:49 also a new non classical conception of reality
this conception goes beyond the 58:55 home on the range of all metaphysical imagining from back east the old exception the doppelganger is the new 59:02 rule the idea in science fiction that grew to identifies as the new basic is that of self is something that stands an 59:10 interchangeable relationship to its own content
by its artificial distribution 59:16 of reflection equipment processes across man and machine cybernetics bushes 59:21 together the multiple exchanges of human self-contradiction on one side of a new 59:27 exchange in which the man-made mechanism takes up the other side
with the 59:35 prospect of interstellar travel upon us the proper destiny of all cybernetic science go to rights is not to build a 59:43 duplicate of the human mind but a non Aristotelian brain that works along a 59:49 three value thought pattern
once we can go the distance to the stars in our 59:54 thought we will be before the alien mind which will be more alien even than the 1:00:00 personification of the lengths and logics we will have gone through
since 1:00:05 no direct contact is possible or survivable grunt Oh nominates the robot brain which is capable of non 1:00:12 Aristotelian logic as most likely to succeed as our intermediary specifically 1:00:18 as thought translator between reconcilable logix i quote wrote up
what 1:00:25 is true for the human mind is false for the alien mind and therefore has the combined characteristic it is true and 1:00:32 false at the same time it is to clarify this contradiction to the third value 1:00:38 must be introduced by rotating the three values the translation machine produces 1:00:43 its own alternative logic of two values not those the human mind used before the 1:00:48 translation commenced but instead the opposing valuation ellipse which can 1:00:54 then cross the human and the alien range of thought at the same time
otherwise to 1:01:00 be or not to be Georgia underscores remains our final question even though 1:01:06 there must be even hear a common denominator and consequently a third value there can't be for us according to 1:01:14 go to the total negation of our logic in the encounter with the alien mind would 1:01:19 negate the very existence of the human mind quote in fact total negation is the 1:01:26 logic definition of death that is absolute death that separates the tureen Aristotelian from the contra 1:01:33 Aristotelian alien mind
1:01:39 in a series of articles titled Achilles and the tortoise Berta examined the time 1:01:45 warp and jump conceits employed in science fiction to get around the inconceivable prospect of interstellar 1:01:52 transport grunt Oh starts out with Zeno's paradox to show that motion 1:01:57 itself whether across the span of a foot race or the distance to the stars is 1:02:03 unthinkable because it involves infinity it may seem strange that something so 1:02:09 commonplace something we do every day as long as we live involves unsolved 1:02:15 logical and scientific problems. once outer space is the object or objective 1:02:21 of thought however the harnessing and close quarters of natural forces not yet 1:02:27 understood comes to an end.
calculus for example did not contribute to 1:02:33 understanding emotional but permitted us to use it
Bachelard .....
as Gus tomba Sheila showed in 1:02:39 the case of fire and welcome Hagen with regard to electricity science fantasy or 1:02:44 delusion is internal to science to the extent that science is given to make use 1:02:49 of natural forces in advance of their comprehension. Hagen argues that the 1:02:55 delusion of spiritualism spreads on tracks are allowed to be in murphy on media as evidence of the 1:03:02 ever-expanding newspaper networks but he neglects the separate from the Epistle 1:03:07 of the league Rice's the structure of testin through witches examples pass modern spiritualism one from 1:03:15 investigative reports in the press and scientific experiment in universities the reality the testing Accords to a 1:03:22 probable claims even when to fraud is famed and falsified.
occult account mediums 1:03:29 welcome to testing of their claims by experts even or especially if the experts were driven to to bump the 1:03:35 supernatural is conveyed by the press accounts the press never missed a chance to give prominent coverage to 1:03:41 investigation of mediums the experts verdict, however negativ, place the 1:03:47 tested situations than the realm of hypothesis and possibility
even historically been Freud's notion of 1:03:54 reality tested as the function of the ego through perception and motility distinguishes reality the alternation 1:04:01 between inner and outer worlds is heir to this relay of test sites mediums and 1:04:07 ghosts
as supplemented avi tell Ronnell analysis of testing in the test drive it 1:04:13 proves possible even necessary to follow reality testing as the most comprehensive model of the general test 1:04:21 situation
that freud's most extensive reflection 1:04:28 on reality testing can be found in as sa mourning and melancholia has not been 1:04:34 registered by the editorial apparatus but Freud's closest reader Melanie Klein 1:04:40 belabored the multiple references Freud made to reality testing in that brief 1:04:46 article to introduce her notion of the inner world and morning
according to 1:04:52 Klein identification builds a safety zone to internalize good objects that 1:04:57 must take the brunt of first and direct impact of traumatic loss
before loss can 1:05:05 be singularly addressed or redressed the inner afterlife must be shored up again 1:05:10 at its very foundations
what cuts deepest is lost contact with the good 1:05:17 object
the work of mourning consists in the all-out effort to re-secure the 1:05:22 original objects internalized as lost and found
a new loss brings back all the 1:05:29 losses which must first be reinstalled and re found inside before the 1:05:34 interpersonal work of mourning can commence
what the outer world is good for finally is to reality test by its 1:05:42 planar PLAINER text, the staying power of the inner world
in the Android of the human 1:05:51 dick addresses as evolutionary prospect that is up to the unreliable team to 1:05:57 secure the future quote
either through laziness short attention span perversity 1:06:05 criminal tendencies whatever label you wish to pin on the kid to explain as unreliability is fine
1:06:11 in his case studies of problem children and teens DW Winnicott sought to nip the 1:06:19 budding psychopath at the onset of their antisocial tendencies
his signature 1:06:25 intervention was to characterize the initial nuisance behavior as expression 1:06:31 of hope which illuminates the importance of the environment
the meaning of hope 1:06:37 according to the words Germanic prehistory preserved to this day as fuh 1:06:42 huffin in the German language of hunters scratches and sniFFs and animal tracks in 1:06:49 a word hope begins as the startle response to decide to change in our environment whereby we humans and 1:06:57 animals alike take the moment of hesitation to try out in our minds a new 1:07:02 next move
dick proposes rewriting ray 1:07:11 bradbury story about a citizen of ello who recognizes that no one is in the 1:07:16 driver's seat in the police car tailing him as follows
I would have had a teenager 1:07:22 behind the wheel of the police car
he HAS stolen it while the policeman is in a coffee shop on his lunch break and the 1:07:29 kid is going to resell it by tearing it down into parts
the horror dick seeks to 1:07:37 counter lies not in the evidence of the cars on tropism but in the prospect of 1:07:42 the place on Phil by the driver ... THE vacuum packing of the missing IN denial or as he puts it, the 1:07:51 absence of something vital that is the horrific part the apocalyptic vision of 1:07:56 a nightmare future
it is not only the amalgamation of adolescence and 1:08:02 psychopathy devised for the extra or empty place XXXXthe drawers THAT DRAWS cybernetic testing onward
but out of the dramatic 1:08:10 histories cybernetics inherits even moUrning presses to find theRE its onset 1:08:16 in a place for absence thank 1:08:39 thank
