There is a pun in the title if you can figure out what a keld is. In combination with my other ventures in documenting myself, this will be my multimedia stream.

plato:
So have any of your disciples maintained the lifestyle?
-
keldwud:
lol
-
keldwud:
just my parents
-
keldwud:
but we're only on month 2
-
keldwud:
I kind of work like a trainer
-
plato:
Oh?
-
keldwud:
like a physical trainer
-
keldwud:
you have to come to me
-
keldwud:
I only come to you once per month
-
keldwud:
because the plan doesn't work and *will* not work if I do the work for them
-
plato:
Yeh
-
keldwud:
if they don't have the discipline or interest to keep in contact with me
-
keldwud:
they don't have the discipline to follow this plan
-
keldwud:
and my plan is very counter culture
-
keldwud:
and very anti-consumerism
-
keldwud:
so the philosophy of it is tough for most people to swallow
-
keldwud:
because it is constantly being attacked by outside influences that I cannot control
-
keldwud:
get what I'm saying?
-
keldwud:
it's more than just about the food, it's about changing the way you react to advertising
-
keldwud:
it requires reprogramming
-
keldwud:
and I can't waste time with people who aren't in a position where they can allow their consumer instincts to be reprogrammed
-
keldwud:
so, my success rate is pretty low ;)
-
keldwud:
to answer your question
-
plato:
Hrm. I've never been a fan of consumerism. My biggest beef has to be when I'm referred to as a "consumer" of a company. I have no problem being their "customer"...but that word condumer bothers me.
-
keldwud:
well, whether we like it or not, we are consumers
-
keldwud:
do you salivate when you see the golden arches?
-
keldwud:
or when you hear certain jingles?
-
keldwud:
like, I don't believe in consumerism and I never eat at mcdonalds
-
keldwud:
but I still salivate at the sight of it.
-
keldwud:
it takes some serious deprogramming to stop being a consumer
-
keldwud:
right now, just staying constantly aware of my body's reactions to certain stimulus just keeps me from *reacting* like a consumer
-
keldwud:
but it doesn't keep me from being a consumer deep down. To do that, I would have to not have any physical reactions to the various stimuli present in our cities and homes
-
keldwud:
once I can consume entertainment without feeling urges to react, I will no longer be a consumer

This is what I imagined when Case was breaking the Ice in Neuromancer. http://bit.ly/3misiQ
Something dark was forming at the core of the Chinese
program. The density of information overwhelmed the fabric
of the matrix, triggering hypnagogic images. Faint kaleidoscop-
ic angles centered in to a silver-black focal point. Case watched
childhood symbols of evil and bad luck tumble out along trans-
lucent planes: swastikas, skulls and crossbones, dice flashing
snake eyes. If he looked directly at that null point, no outline
would form. It took a dozen quick, peripheral takes before he
had it, a shark thing, gleaming like obsidian, the black mirrors
of its flanks reflecting faint distant lights that bore no relation-
ship to the matrix around it.

“ Perhaps most impressive, if a bird in the formation falls ill or is shot, two other birds will accompany it on the descent, aiding and protecting the injured bird until it either recovers or dies. The two helpful geese will then rejoin the formation.

“ Does anyone care what Americans think? They’re the worst-educated people in the First World. They don’t have any thoughts, they have emotional responses, which good advertisers know how to provoke.

“ My philosophy of government: Government can’t be all things for all people; we collectively can’t afford it. It needs to deal with those necessary things that benefit the largest majority of citizens that can’t economically be done individually. For every benefit government provides someone pays and we should remember that when we ask for any benefit. Special interest groups should be listened to, but in context of size of citizens affected at what cost to others.
