'We hypothesize information into objects. Rearrangements of objects in the change in the content of the information. The message has changed. This is a language we have lost the ability to read. We ourselves are part of this language; changes in us are changes in the content of information. We ourselves are information-rich; information is entered into us, is processed and then is projected outwards once more, now in an altered form. We are not aware that we are doing this, that in fact this is all we are doing.'
--Phillip K. Dick, Valis
'If History IS "Time," as it claims to be, then the uprising is a moment that springs up and out of Time, violates the "law" of History. If the State IS History, as it claims to be, then the insurrection is the forbidden moment, an unforgivable denial of the dialectic--shimmying up the pole and out of the smokehole, a shaman's maneuver carried out at an "impossible angle" to the universe. History says the Revolution attains "permanence," or at least duration, while the uprising is "temporary." In this sense an uprising is like a "peak experience" as opposed to the standard of "ordinary" consciousness and experience. Like festivals, uprisings cannot happen every day--otherwise they would not be "nonordinary." But such moments of intensity give shape and meaning to the entirety of a life. The shaman returns--you can't stay up on the roof forever-- but things have changed, shifts and integrations have occurred--a difference is made. '
