<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-1531" title="mcluhan" src="http://weird-fiction.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/mcluhan.jpg" alt="mcluhan" width="152" height="118" />&#8220;Since Sputnik and the satellites, the planet is enclosed in a manmade environment that ends &#8220;Nature&#8221; and turns the globe into a repertory theater to be programmed.&#8221; &#8211; Saint Mcluhan.<em>The mage, tuned in to heralds thru vectors unknown, proclaimed &#8220;Since Sputnik and the satellites, the planet [has been] enclosed in a manmade environment that ends &#8220;Nature&#8221; and turns the globe into a repertory theater to be programmed,&#8221;</em></p>
<p>WE HAVE ALWAYS BEEN GEO ENGINEERS<em> (((WFT))), a repertoire in its own right, channels derelict theory objects.<br />
</em></p>
<p><img class="size-medium wp-image-1532 alignright" title="Picture 7" src="http://weird-fiction.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/Picture-7-600x514.png" alt="Picture 7" width="158" height="132" />Global programming by humanoids started out bluntly. <em>Including but not limited to rejected screenplays, programmed into ficto-quizzical milieus&#8230;but i digress. </em>Humans have always been geo-engineers, but up until the 21st, this was mostly an artisanal enterprise with primarily local feedback loops. <em>The result of the Cold war listening services, the transistor, and as of yet unknown incidents in Roswell, New Mexico was a global remix culture that eats away at any attempt at silence and reflection, by amplifying everything into ear shot</em>. The Ethnosphere was diverse, robust and at times oppressive, and I approved.  <em>Shots are fired and ears consume. </em>But then the temporary procurement of petrochemicals allowed man to overshoot his carrying capacity. <em>Because, of course, there is no such thing as an &#8220;earlid.&#8221;</em></p>
<p>The existential threat of atomic annihilation that caused puny humans to realize that to intervene with wisdom, one must constantly monitor Gais&#8217; heartbeat. <em>There is no such thing as a blink reflex to protect the ear from foreign bodies.</em> The creation of Weapons of Mass Destruction was a sad birthing pang of Climate Hacking culture. <em>Project Mogul, however, single-handedly ushered in an emerging market for majestic eyes only</em>. In the face of unprecedented degradation at the hands of the human species, Gaia has started to create conditions for human self annihilation. <em>Foreign bodies, capable of emitting a sound that can travel over 3,000 miles though Earthôs noisy oceans are feared.</em> Luckily in the pointless race to out-arm rival nation states, humans created disembodied ears that could hover over the planet, seeking out sound waves signalling the testing of atomic weapons.  <em>Despite numerous reports from scientists who say that this would require an incredibly large noise-making apparatus, one much bigger than that of a flying saucer , rumors persist.</em></p>
<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-1533" title="6D07F-earache" src="http://weird-fiction.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/6D07F-earache.gif" alt="6D07F-earache" width="135" height="119" />MIND CHILDREN GET EARACHES <em>Majestic eyes only know what they see, and to see is to believe, but believe me you, it is the ear shot that has been overlooked, nay, overheard!</em></p>
<p>Prior to the first artificial satellite that was supposedly launched into orbit in 1957, humans&#8217; disembodied ears took the form of high altitude balloons. <em>&#8220;A swarm of great invisible bees might have been about me in the air.&#8221;</em> These floating ears  hovered over the planet, seeking out sound waves signalling the testing of atomic weapons. <em>The sound seemed to thicken the very atmosphere, and I felt that my lungs worked with difficulty,&#8221; claims one denizen of the post-world.</em></p>
<p>Did the shadowy listeners with their telematic ears know they were unleashing an always-on information environment that converted the globe &#8220;a repertory theater to be programmed&#8221;.  <em>Humans never got around to inventing earlids, and the telematic listening devices of post human progeny have stupefied &#8212;yet linger on&#8212; phantom limb-like.</em> With everyone acting the part, and making music there were not enough eyeballs on the planet!!! <em>When colonies collapse they are tasked elsewhere, a forced migration to a netherworld or intra-dimensional space using Internet Protocol technologies to securely intervene in the cloaked form of deep sound channels, or often enough, more mysterious bloops.</em> In built early warning systems of planetary illness manifest locally and everyone was too busy listening to the human echo chamber!  <em>&#8220;It&#8217;s their sound,&#8221; one whispered gravely.</em> Can you really blame them?  <em>&#8220;It&#8217;s the sound of their world, the humming in their region. </em>After all there is no such thing as an ear lid. <em>The division here is so thin that it leaks through somehow.</em></p>
<p><img class="size-full wp-image-1534 alignright" title="bees" src="http://weird-fiction.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/bees.jpg" alt="bees" width="146" height="111" />Even Mind Children get ear aches. <em>&#8220;But, if you listen carefully, you&#8217;ll find it&#8217;s not above so much as around us.&#8221;</em> A ringing in the ears. <em>&#8220;Symbols of Project Mogul that inflict us.&#8221;</em> Humans never got around to inventing earlids, and the telematic listening devices of post human progeny are phantom limb-like. <em>Project Mogul is not a disease but a symptom resulting from a range of underlying causes that can include ear infections, foreign objects in the always-on information environment, unexpected iruptions in the audiosphere.</em> Ear lids are like firewalls? <em>Project Mogul was an original sin of techno-utopianism.</em> Information limiters I suppose.  <em>To think that a psycho-accoustic geography of the entire planet could heighten what was local. </em>Imagine if the always on information environment was auditory and not textual. <em>As with cell-phone induced insect diaspora, the bee colonies are collapsing, unnoticed because everyone is manning the spy satellites.</em> At least with text you can stop reading&#8230;..</p>
