encompass and divide for fun and no profit at all.

get involved with matters SS/h3o/any other acronym you like. an opportunity to build and investigate without merely collecting "information." be bold! be alert! be aloof! but preferably a lert, because we have enough loofs already.

what's so funny 'bout peas, gloves and multiple identity?



CAVEAT EMPTOR etc, cont. pg. 93

a few brave souls have breached a certain subject recently, and it seems appropriate to post this in answer to them, but also for those other very few folks who might be interested.

in 1997 tor hereabouts, I was involved with the phenomenon (and truly, it deserves this appellation) known under many names, chief of which are/were antiorp/integer/netochka nezvanova. there were others. part of that project directly and indirectly and in several other ways addressed the whole notion of identity, and in many cases, "online" identity as it was becoming known. far too in-depth for a post such as this, it nevertheless, at its termination or more correctly, fizzling out, left a few stones unturned, at least as far as I was concerned.  "Simply Superior" was a name taken from that project, by the way.

and so, and indeed, following on from the grand tradition of The Hafler Trio and their references to such things beginning in 1981-82, and still not actually investigated properly (or - perish the thought - understood!) Simply Superior, I decided in my lack of wisdom, should Carry On Up The Identity. oo, errr, missus.

so: on its inception, 7 people were given passwords and authority to act on social media through Simply Superior accounts. over time, a few people dropped out, but some remain, and some passed on these credentials to others. these people in most cases do not even know each other, and for some of them, what I write here will actually come as news. this means that anything you might see within the confines of those domains (if they warrant such terminology) may or may not be written or posted by one of no less than *at least* 7 people (that I know of). and this is exactly as it should be; these posts will be, from time to time, "challenging" to me and just about anyone else. I am glad that it is so. quite a few have given me pause for thought in the most healthy of ways. some are silly. and this is just as important. some demonstrate principles I might not agree with but nevertheless encourage other perspectives I believe valuable to at least temporarily entertain. and some are working hypotheses that may or may not stand up to scrutiny.

all of this is directly related to the very spirit which led to initiating Simply Superior in the first place.

this means, gentle reader, that if you take umbrage or wish to know more about some snippet posted under the SS moniker, or indeed, which to check validity, all email addresses are handled alone by that flesh suit masquerading as a person labelled A.M.McKenzie, and everything else is, well, putting it kindly, a collective emanation.

so if you need to know, ask a policeman's son directly. if you would rather believe that everything that goes under a particular name is from the same individual, then please continue to do so in good health.

be seeing you.

p.s. the antiorp/integer/netochka nezvanova archive is for sale. get in touch if interested.

forthcoming atractiveness guaranteed but not ensured.

soon to be of considerable availability in some ways, and possibly for all wayes. verily.







[edit]

this has NOTHING to do with any (sonic) release. these are ENDED, unless some benefactor with questionable taste funds such a thing. the readers of this blog are apparently not in this particular demographic.

opening doors to the blessings of potential realised.

someone inviting you to something. now.
with a hop, a step, the raising of many small flags and trebles all round, Simply Superior has something for you:

http://simplysuperior.org/CCC/

indeed, much to read, ponder, and inwardly digest; this is a concerted, serious offer to all, and as such, needs verbiage to support it before the actual experience is obtained.

so not much to add except to state again that all correspondence on this subject will be replied to, and a huge, nay, massive entreaty to all those reading this and the webpage itself to spead this news as far and as wide as possible through whatever means are available: this way is the only practical way at present to spread Complemation with the lack of possibilities for public events at the present time (for reasons it may or may not be useful to go into later), and your help - yes, yours - will be greatly appreciated and useful in the war efforts.

may all be well.

please place your paws pleasantly, perceptively and presently in pretty proximate proximity.

promote prodigiously!

loose lips and wagging tongues for your edification and utilisation.

delight, merriment and general joyousness abound here at Simply Superior Mansions, where we have popped many virtual corks on which we now float, resplendent not only in divergence but in the knowledge that the long-threatened and indeed promised manifestation of Complemation Conversation is now available to those outside these particular walls. please point your electronic apparatus of whatever flavour or persuasion to:

https://simplysuperior.podiant.co/

please spread the tidings far and wide, so that these efforts might illuminate as many dark corners as possible in this particular set of interlocking vales, and benefit and merit both accumulate and disperse. all at the same time. yes.

you are sincerely and profusely thanked for your attention, dear Fuzzy-Headed Personages.

sadly, another reason.

your friend and humble narrator has been asked on many an occasion why it is that there are no more Hafler Trio recordings being made available. today, as I blearily gaze into the subcutaneous cesspit some used to call "The Information Superhighway," I am informed that a company I used to deal with is presenting a product which is a re-release on DVD of the 1989 release of Brion Gysin's Dreamachine and audio-visual material relating to it.

this project was under development for many years, plagued by equipment malfunctions and breakdowns, logistical hurdles and obstacles, and was finally brought into reasonable shape - with the exception of a few minor problems. at which point, the company brought in "an expert," whose attitude and knowledge were not that as advertised on the outside of the tin.

this release was to be the summation and conclusion of a huge body of effort from long ago, as well as the final laying to rest of a promise and act of fulfilment of duty to Brion Gysin himself. at which point, negotiations broke down, until such times as this person was taken off the project, and it was allowed to be done in the way that expressly been outlined, the project was on hold.

as of today, it can be seen that such wishes are not honored, and I firmly commend all who read this to understand that I do not support, condone or authorise in any way this release, which is advertised for sale, with erroneous information such as that the Dreamachine is functional with such a size and pattern on a record player at 45RPM. it isn't, and this shows how much care - or lack of it - has been put into the handling of this project by the company. such a fundamental error should give any prospective purchaser pause for thought. long pause for thought, hopefully.

so the question often asked of my as to the lack of releases: look no further than this, to me, very unhappy occurrence.
