hyperborea, this planet is not...

planet B

Hyperborea in utopia... This is the land of peace, milk and honey. This is the world we seek, yet this is the world that we destroy as we trample its earthly paradise, as we dream of a better world while painting fake skies on wooden panels. 


Hyperborea is supposed to be the perfect land, with the sun shining twenty-four hours a day, which suggests a possible location within the Arctic Circle during summertime. However, it's possible that Hyperborea had no real physical location at all, only in the mind of dreamers. According to the classical Greek poet Pindar:

Neither by ship nor on foot would you find
The marvellous road to the assembly of the Hyperboreans.
...

Never the Muse is absent
From their ways: lyres clash and flutes cry
And everywhere maiden choruses whirling.
Neither disease nor bitter old age is mixed
In their sacred blood; far from labor and battle they live.

This sounds a bit like naked Swedish women frollicking in the white snow...

Here we shall stop the steaming allusions and take some Rimbaud poetry on board… From "Alchémie du verbe"


It’s four in the morning. Summer
The slumber of love lingers on.
From under the medow trees, rises
The perfume of a nightly feast.


Further, on their large building site
Under the sun of the Hesperides,
Already busy — sleeves up —
The carpenters.


In their mossy Deserts, calmly,
They are preparing precious panelling
upon which the city
will paint its fake skies.


O, for these charming workers
Subjects of a Babylonian king,
Venus! quits for an instant the lovers
the souls of whom is royalty.


O queen of the herders,
Bring to the working men the distilled spirit,
So that their strength be calmed
To await swimming in the sea at midday.



Translation by Jules Letambour.

The Hesperides and Hyperborea shared the same idea of perfection in the mind of the Ancients. Hyperborea was to the north, while the land of the sacred apples, the land of the Hesperides, was to the south, probably in North Africa.

utopia... all is best on planet earf...

A utopia is an imagined community or society that possesses highly desirable or nearly perfect qualities for its citizens.[1][2] The opposite of a utopia is a dystopia. One could also say that utopia is a perfect "place" that has been designed so there are no problems.

Utopian ideals often place emphasis on egalitarian principles of equality in economics, government and justice, though by no means exclusively, with the method and structure of proposed implementation varying based on ideology.[2][3] According to Lyman Tower Sargent "there are socialist, capitalist, monarchical, democratic, anarchist, ecological, feminist, patriarchal, egalitarian, hierarchical, racist, left-wing, right-wing, reformist, Naturists/Nude Christians, free love, nuclear family, extended family, gay, lesbian, and many more utopias".[4]

While Nowa Huta in Kraków, Poland, serves as an unfinished example of a Utopian ideal city, Canberra is not. Please don't ask questions, as the answers will not be utopic...

 

the FDR conundrum...

Was FDR (Franklin Delano Roosevelt) assassinated? This is a question Gus asks because according to "history", FDR was killed by a blood clot in the brain, he had a melanoma and cancer had riddled his body. His eyes looked as if he was on medical cocaine. But his medical records went missing. 

Why I am asking this iffy question is simple: FDR wanted a better equitable world. This would not have gone down well with the rabid capitalist psychopaths of the time. Here was his proposal for a "Second Bill of rights" as expressed to the nation via the Congress:

 

It is our duty now to begin to lay the plans and determine the strategy for the winning of a lasting peace and the establishment of an American standard of living higher than ever before known. We cannot be content, no matter how high that general standard of living may be, if some fraction of our people—whether it be one-third or one-fifth or one-tenth—is ill-fed, ill-clothed, ill-housed, and insecure.
This Republic had its beginning, and grew to its present strength, under the protection of certain inalienable political rights—among them the right of free speech, free press, free worship, trial by jury, freedom from unreasonable searches and seizures. They were our rights to life and liberty.
As our nation has grown in size and stature, however—as our industrial economy expanded—these political rights proved inadequate to assure us equality in the pursuit of happiness.
We have come to a clear realization of the fact that true individual freedom cannot exist without economic security and independence. "Necessitous men are not free men."[3] People who are hungry and out of a job are the stuff of which dictatorships are made.
In our day these economic truths have become accepted as self-evident. We have accepted, so to speak, a second Bill of Rights under which a new basis of security and prosperity can be established for all—regardless of station, race, or creed.
Among these are:

All of these rights spell security. And after this war is won we must be prepared to move forward, in the implementation of these rights, to new goals of human happiness and well-being.
America's own rightful place in the world depends in large part upon how fully these and similar rights have been carried into practice for all our citizens. For unless there is security here at home there cannot be lasting peace in the world.

You can ask the question again: Was FDR eliminated?

global warming, meanwhile...

Areas in Pakistan have now recorded the hottest April day ever as temperatures soared to a scorching 50.2°C on Monday.

Pakistan, a country familiar with hot weather, was nonetheless shocked by the out-of-character heatwave, which pushed temperatures well past dangerous levels and much higher than the usual seasonal norm of 18-24C.
