The mystery of the One is the singularity of knowing," we say as another wave hits us: Reflect my fellows upon the vanishing of the passing bubble that shimmering with light is the froth of the wavefront, the knowledge that passes for wisdom with each passing wave,

This podcast's purpose is to lay out the ontological and epistemological determinants for a post-capitalist future. It will fulfil the promise of 1917. This future lies presently fragmented in the scattered, desultory utterances of progressive leaders in labour, green, women's and other movements. The basic idea is to recollect the community that exists between the manual gathering and hunting, and its electronic version, for which the information is the object. Underlying both conjunctures is the fundamental harmonic whose logic is: we are visitors to this space, here for a short time to learn to be human, to give and receive love, and then return home to the stars, the place we have never left because everything is composed of star dust. Marx and Plato are the two principal luminaries guiding this movement with generous assistance from Nietzsche, Heidegger, Derrida, Lacan, Deleuze and Guattari. Only when the power of love, with its toughness as well as tenderness, replaces the love of power will there be peace on earth, a dynamic bubbling of creativity where conflict will exist only in a more fundamental and elevated manner -- musically!
