We are a diverse group of
international scholars and students
who attempt to act and to understand for ourselves our complex
"History", the "World" in which we live, the existence of our Thoughts
and Thinking, but also our possible Transcendence toward Real, True
Emancipation.

"A
spectre is
haunting the Internet. It's called emancipation. Web surfers of the
world, join us. You have everything to gain especially independence of
thought and mind."
(Carl

About Us:
We
are a group of
international students, graduates, teachers, scholars, writers,
artists, authors, inventors, free lance workers, scientists, engineers,
farmers and independent entrepreneurs, interested in Science and
Philosophy, the Arts and Humanities. Some of us, ever since the famous
Fall of the infamous Wall of Berlin, have begun to review Science,
Philosophy & History, began to develop our own Science and
Philosophy, our own views about Praxis and Theory, about Nature and
Society.
Specifically,
we
concentrated on other ways of Thinking & Thought, on new Logical
Methods and on our own Epistemology, Ethics and Aesthetics. We
formulated the emancipatory guide-line:
Do
a n d Think AND Excel Of, By and For Ourselves, Here, Now and Forever!
Ever
since 1989
till today, among many other things, we seriously studied our world
system, the fatherland, official Science and Philosophy, the New World
Order, Technology and Economics; day and night, in debates, chats and
lectures, reading, studying, writing and discussing, as far as our
abilities and capabilities could reach and fathom reality, we
penetrated and interpenetrated the essence of so-called History, and we
came to the conclusion, to the horrible discovery, that Labour in all
its forms is the umbilical cord, is the very essence of Alienation, is
Alienation per se.
This
cognition
and recognition opened vast vistas to our Science and Philosophy,
unravelled "open secrets", brought many an enigma into broad daylight.
We began to reap what we have sown, the fruits of self-action,
self-thinking, of self-excellence, in nuce, of self-emancipation.
Our
Thinking and
Thought, our Intellect and Reason, were blossoming, blooming and
flowering, we became more natural, more social, more historic. Our
Thinking Methods, our Logics became refined, our acts and thoughts
oscillated like magnet-needles, hovered like the Sword of Damocles over
a moribund and dying culture. We perceived things which we never ever
have dreamt of before, we did things which we never ever could have
imagined before, and our thinking registered relations which have been
obliterated by millennia of exploiting smoke, dominating smog and
discriminatory putrefied air.
A
few of us, fell
by the wayside, like house-pigeons, they could not reach the cosmic
heights and ontic velocities of the messenger doves; we bewail their
departure, and wish them success in all their future endeavours. We
became quantitatively less, yet qualitatively more. Yet, we marched on,
we pulled ourselves out of the morass, by grasping our own hair, out of
the stagnating, skunklike mud of indoctrinated ignorance and
manipulated arrogance. We became excellent, we began to excel, to gain
immanent transcendental cruising speed.
As
such, we
reached the end of the so-called Second Millennium. We knew and we know
that we cannot "conscientize", cannot organize, mobilize or teach
anybody or anything, who or which does not find itself/herself/himself
already on the excellent emancipatory orbit. In fact, we never tried to
do this -- we left this educative endeavour to Christians, Marxists,
Liberals, Teachers and Professors. We appreciate and respect their
vocation and work, but we have other emancipatory objectives,
subjectives and transjectives.

The Current State of Affairs
Being
part and
parcel of this globe, striving towards cosmic depths and heights,
directions and perspectives, towards active levels, towards ontic
degrees, other intellectual elegance and rational fragrance, towards
new, original mensions, towards more excellent surpassing, we decided
also to be "in", to be "cool", to know what is "related". We entered
Cyberspace, we sped forward on the Information Highway, we embraced the
WEB, we became internetted, we went global.
We
designed Home Pages, organized Discussion Forums, we e-mailed, we
chatted, we chattered!
This
metamorphosis had a quantitative effect; we expanded globally, we
reached strange sites, new pages, new panoramas opened in front of our
eyes; many illusions were deleted; our knowledge was enriched and
saved, we encountered new versions, met beta-beings, downloaded
Classics and De Luxes. We experienced crashes, viruses, cracking and
hacking, pecking and cackling.
We
are being
confronted with millennium relations, with a new species of beings,
with other affirmations, negations and contradictions. Our modus
operandi changes, our modus vivendi relates in different, triverse
ways, our Invisible, Invulnerable, Invincible Principle dawns on the
Galactic Horizon. Emancipation gains new, authentic, original mensions.
The
chaff is
being sifted away, the natural, fresh, germinating wheat triumphs over
its cloned inmate; the emancipators identify themselves, and the
alphas, betas and omegas spew global, globalized venom; they only see
themselves, can see nothing else anymore, except their own cloned
phantoms in their virtual real world. Formal Logics has reached ist
historic objective: A = A. Only B or C or Z can still visualize A,
Non-A, B, or anything else for that matter.
We
reached the
Alpha and Omega of History, of the Fatherland, of Globalization. And
Now, And Here, What is To be Done? What and How Can Be Thought? What
and How and Why can be Emancipated?
We
have crossed the "Historical Rubicon", now let's Reach For The Stars:
per aspera ad astra!
3.
ORIGINAL, AUTHENTIC EMANCIPATORY "RULES AND REGULATIONS"
Prelude
Why
do we need rules, norms, regulations, statutes, constitutions and laws?
Are
they not
preserving Labour, the status quo? Are they not intrinsic elements of
the functioning Global State? Part and Parcel of the Political
Domination of "Big Brother"?
Emancipation,
Excellence, Transcendence, by definition, cannot be achieved within the
static framework of a systemic set of restrictions, of do's and don'ts.
However, on the other hand, are our scientific and philosophic methods
really so chaotic, our Epistemology and Logics truly so anarchic, just
chosen at random, mere trial-and-error equivocations? Certainly not.
Until
now, in
Praxis, we were guided by certain cosmic landmarks; in Theory, we had
certain ontic guide-lines, in Excellence, we detected certain
transcendental clues, motives, motifs. Generally, we identify with
scientific precision, incision; we differentiate with decisiveness,
determinedness. We triversify, superate in excellence, in emancipation.
Thus,
are these
not valid in the praxical "organization" and theoretical approximation
of our correspondence, inter-communication, inter-relations, chats,
debates, discussions, "membership", "guests" and "visitors"?
In
reality, we
need not, should not need any "rules" and "regulations"; what is
quintessential for us are our own cosmic nature, our own ontic
existence, our own excellent transcendence; these are our real, true,
guiding "guardian angels". However, because we are still on our way,
are still stumbling over identifiable, stony levels, are still falling
in different degrees into rocky crevices and pot-holes, and are still
swept away in triverse mensiones by stormy hurricanes, for these
reasons, and only for these, we urgently need certain guide-lines, to
keep us on track, to keep us in balance, onboard, safe and sane.
Concerning
levels, degrees and mensions, we are not only unified, we are this, but
we are also differentiated, and some of us, are also triversified. We
do not act identically, we do not think totally differentiated, we do
not excel in historic, emancipatory spheres. In simple text: we find
ourselves at different levels, degrees and mensions of consciousness.
As stated before, we're all on our way; we assist, we help, we
encourage, we direct each other. This must be learned, must be ruly,
regulated. Some of us are more "advanced". Of course, this is not a
privilege, it's only that some of us are already since a very long time
hot on the trail. Some of us are newcomers, however, we are introducing
new, fresh air into the debates, generating innovative acts, thoughts
and life energy.

OUR GUIDE-LINES
General
Whosoever
sees
it/her/himself as something, someone striving towards emancipation,
towards a cosmic-ontic, natural-social relationship of and with
History, necessarily, at first, has to study her/his "home-work", has
to cognize and recognize certain "home-truths"; below are exemplified
the four major ones:
A.
The famous "Gretchenfrage" of Goethe's Faust ; also of Napoleon to
Laplace: Not, How's business? But, How's religion?
Thought
(I think
that ....) and Knowledge (I know that ....) are anaemic and endemic to
Belief (I believe that ....). With due respect, who is a staunch
believer should put on her/his religious, theologian shoes, which
certainly do fit c comfortably well, should move very fast faraway from
us, and keep her/himself at a safe distance, securely hidden away from
the onslaught of the "Götterdämmerung", of the devastating
typhoons and
roaring hurricanes of our Science and Philosophy. Who has read and
studied Ludwig Feuerbach's "The Essence of Christianity" and Bertrand
Russell's "Why I am not a Christian", can cautiously try to approximate
us again. Our Science and Philosophy have as a quintessential
pre-condition the superation of all demons, angels, gods, devils,
ghosts and spirits in our very "souls". Item: firstly, we study, think
about, know these fantasies, but we don't believe in them. We don't
allow them to haunt, to terrorize, to master us. And we cannot allow
religious "abracadabra" and fantastic "tohu wa bohu" to ruin and
sabotage our stringent, illuminating discussions, debates and chats.
B.
The famous endogenic-systemic "Quo Vadis?" Issue. Whither Goest Thou?
Shakespeare
made
it very clear that there are more things in heaven and on Earth than
only those things that are dreamt of daily in our miserable "home-made"
pseudo-philosophy.
Official
education and dissocialization systematically had practically destroyed
all our transcendental, fiery, youthful daydreams. They were replaced
with endogenic, systemic, evolutionary, peaceful, second-hand
merchandise, with "progress", with "change" only within the system,
only here, and forever here. Amen! A galaxy of "ruling" norms, habits,
behaviour patterns, customs, cultural heritage, tradition, rules,
regulations, laws and constitutions, invented by all sorts of "rulers"
across the millennia, forever guard that we never ever will dream about
transcending the very limits of internal, systemic repose. They are the
formal logical, moral,legal, humanistic watch-dogs of our Quo vadis, of
our Future! Consequently, secondly, an emancipator has to clarify this
issue, of, by, for her/himself. Otherwise, s(he) will never understand
what transcendence, superation
or excellence really and truly imply.
C.
The "Ora et
Labora", The Old Bailey and Tower Pray- and Work-Shop! The Alcatraz of
"Kinder, Küche, Kirche" Syndrome. Welcome To The KKK Club!
Thirdly,
who did
not apprehend, comprehend what Labour is, would never be able to make a
single, earthly analysis, worth of scientific and philosophic
consideration, about transcendental emancipation; would not understand
what the New World Order, what Globalization are all about. S(he) would
never grasp the alienating essence of Work, of Labour; would forever
fall into the fascist, nazi maelstrom of producing and reproducing an
army of labourers; would keep the second-class, adopted, feminine
"fellow-human-beings" in an inferior status, better in the kitchen,
even in the age of informative cloning; and would drive unknowingly, in
good belief, the rest of "humanity", in the name of "Freedom" and
"Democracy", like Pavlov-Daisy-Sheep, straight into the Cathedral of
New Worship of His Lordship "Big Brother".
D.
The "Ecce Homo" Arrogance, The "Crown Of Creation", "The Highest
Blossom Of Nature".
What
A Man!
Man,
the Creator of the Creator, the Lord of Creation.
Homo,
Homo Sapiens, Homo Sapiens Sapiens, The One, The Only, The One and
Only, the Hen Kai Pan, the Unomnia.
A
Great Man, with Great Ideas, from a Great Race; an Aryan, making Great
History.
Our
Saviour, the
Almighty, the Redeemer -- A Christian, A Liberal, A Peace-Maker, A
Democrat, A European, An American, A Communist, A Nazi, A Fascist, A
Marxist, A Hegelian, A Terrorist.
Man,
the
generator of labour, the inventor of war, technology and conspiracy,
the discoverer of world order, of money, capital and profits. The
discriminator and violator of women, slaves, "niggers", Kaffirs,
Coolies and Camel-Drivers.
5.
CONCLUSION
Well,
finally,
somebody who still nurtures such "great ideas" cannot have a "great
future" on our Home Pages, and surely s(he) will get into serious
trouble with any real emancipator, a true historian, with us. In other
words, in order to be excellent, we better get our actions and ideas
very clear and precise concerning the wonderful, beautiful "human
being", whom we want to "conscientize" and emancipate.
