Here, thought mutants

 Here, thought mutants

And so we approach the birth of the cyber-magus culture, back and forward to the world of magicians, shaman, warlocks and telepaths. A transtime, trans-space temporary gathering of like minded entities, here, fluttering together in the blink of a eye.

Swarm intelligence practised by real Indian swarmi, ferrymen for other entities wishing to pass into the rivers of timesplace. Here, outside the usual channels of communication, here, await the time-lords, the masters of astral projection, and the arts of mind transference prose comedy.

Here, in the everywhere but nowhere space are the new cryto-kids, those who have mastered ADHD and schizophrenia to produce fantastic cloaking devices for entities based upon an altogether, different series of identities, each unique, each potentially threatening to authority, each with a familiar trait of somebody else. Here, the new space cadets, operating on the other sides of time, in here and out there, swarming throughout the matrix, the holographic film, bleeding around all edges, are gathered for play:

Play: That age old vitalizing verb that combines experiment and co-operation, the rules come later. Here, in the noplace-place the heads are gathered, those who can talk and write out a paradox without whigging out about it.Those who see negative entropy and making new art forms in a similar frame of reference, here it is playtime, beyond language or category, here in the primordial ooze, the womb of all creation and destruction, the digital cloak room of the electronic man's overcoat, the damn sentence i put to you. Here we stand or sit as shaman, warriors upon the electronic frontier. Invisible martyrs out of the physical world, thought mutants here.
