Why? ... Why not?
-- Timothy Leary (last words)
BaumThroughout human history, as our species has faced the frightening, terrorizing fact that we do not know who we are, or where we are going in this ocean of chaos, it has been the authorities — the political, the religious, the educational authorities — who attempted to comfort us by giving us order, rules, regulations, informing — forming in our minds — their view of reality.

Interessant. Das Blicken nach Osten galt wohl solange, wie Jerusalem als Mittelpunkt der Welt galt, und die Kultur im Morgenland stattfand.
Mit Entdeckung Amerikas gab es eine neue Neue Welt und die Richtung änderte sich. #TimothyLeary schrieb irgendwo, 'Intelligenzagenten'? dass der quasi natürliche Drang, die Bewegung, immer nach Westen sei.
Das galt wohl bis die Bewegung über die Westcoast hinüber nach Japan und #China sprang. Der Zyklus kann von vorn beginnen.

In this the legendary 1978 Nova Convention, we hear interviews with organizer/poet John Giorno, followed by the uncut Nova Convention panel discussion unheard for decades. Moderator Les Levine masterfully guides panelists William S. Burroughs, Robert Anton Wilson, Timothy Leary and Brion Gysin. Listen to them re-imagining science fiction and foreseeing a culture yet to come.
The Nova Convention was a three-day event, taking place in New York City on November 30, December 1 and December 2, 1978. Intended as a homage to William S. Burroughs, the “convention” included seminars, music performances, readings and more. Attending were an odd mixture of academics, publishers, writers, artists, punk rockers and counterculture disciples. The event had a small hitch. The organizers had announced Keith Richards’ attendance, which made the event a sellout. Richards’ last minute cancellation, however, gave the event an antagonistic oscillation between performer and audience.
The series was originally produced by Giorno Poetry Systems for WBAI radio. The 2013 restoration comes from John Giorno’s private tapes. The effort is to restore, as completely as possible, the entire three-day event for for broadcast by the Clocktower Gallery radio station: https://clocktower.org/show/nova-convention-1978-the-third-mind
