The enemies of paracosmic exploration

mage.party is a large statement about the tools available to humans in their deeply personal experience in sharing culture. While it has a focus on the fiction, as a shamanistic look at how we relate to ourselves, it concerns itself with all aspects of the experience, including the tools used.

If so, there are a few obvious enemies of this activity.

  • “rights management”, digital or otherwise; these mechanisms attack humanity’s freedom to self-explore
  • tracking and applying big data to creation for profit; these methods create a narrative dominated by few voices
  • illiteracy, all senses; whenever there is a chance to encourage knowledge sharing, take it, and if something opposes knowledge: engage hypercritical awareness
