We pray that we may come unto this Darkness which is beyond light, and, without seeing and without knowing, to see and to know that which is above vision and knowledge through the realization that by not-seeing and by unknowing we attain to true vision and knowledge.

Handwrist - Electric Park [2020]

YANDEX (320 Kbps) Size:99 MB

"‘Electric park’ was the name given to several amusement parks in the United States that appeared in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, set up by companies from the then emerging industries of electricity and trolley cars.

Originally set up as picnic parks at the end of trolley lines so companies could put their trolleys to use during the weekends, quickly they became the first modern amusement parks where the attractions were the technologies themselves: people came to see and interact with the revolutionary electric medium, with its bright lights, its loud noises and its disorienting speed.

By the end of the First World War, all parks had gone out of business. The Electric Park was no longer needed, as everyone was now living inside it.

And so are we.

Handwrist - Free Doom [2020]

YANDEX (192 Kbps) Size:61.1 MB

«If we take a hard, unromantic look at the golden age itself, we are struck with the incredible naivete of these scientists. They say, for example, that they will be able to shape and reshape at will human emotions, desires, and thoughts and arrive cientifically at certain efficient, pre-established collective decisions. They claim they will be in a position to develop certain collective desires, to constitute certain homogeneous social units out of aggregates of individuals, to forbid men to raise their children, and even to persuade them to renounce having any. At the same time, they speak of assuring the triumph of freedom and of the necessity of avoiding dictatorship at any price. They seem incapable of grasping the contradiction involved, or of understanding that what they are proposing, even after the intermediary period, is in fact the harshest of dictatorships. In comparison, Hitler’s was a trifling affair. That it is to be a dictatorship of test tubes rather than of hobnailed boots will not make it any less a dictatorship.» (Jacques Ellul, The Technological Society, 1964)
