THIS JUST IN; NEW EVIDENCE INDICATES THAT THERE WERE ONLY FOUR SLAVE SHIP MANIFESTS CONFIRMING FOUR SHIPS LEFT AFRICA FOR THE NEW WORLD. AS SUCH, THE AVERAGE BROWN OR BLACK ABORIGINAL AMERICAN IS A 1/4 AFRICAN AT BEST. THE EVIDENCE IS THAT AFRO ABORIGINES EXISTED AND WERE ALREADY IN AMERICA BEFORE THE ARRIVAL OF EUROPEANS BUT THEY WERE NOT STUDENTS OF THE EXISTING CIVILIZATIONS THAT EXISTED IN AFRICA. THEY WERE HUNTER GATHERERS WHILE THE AFRICANS WHO WERE BROUGHT TO AMERICA WERE FARMERS AND METAL WORKERS AND CARPENTERS. HOWEVER, THERE MAY BE A CERTAIN DEGREE OF RISK OR LIFE THREATENING WORK THAT, TO THE WHITE, RED, YELLOW OR BLACK ABORIGINAL, IS ANTHROPOLOGICALLY, SUBCONSCIOUSLY CONSIDERED A NECESSITY IN FINDING THE RESOURCES NECESSARY TO SATISFY THE MASLOW-LYON HIERARCHY OF NEEDS INVOLVING THE SUSTENANCE. YOU BEAT OR SHOOT THE DEER. THEN YOU BEAT OR SHOOT THE BANK MANAGER OR MAYBE THE CASH COULD JUST ARRIVE AUTOMATICALLY IN A TACIT SOCIOPOLITICAL AGREEMENT THAT SAYS YOU ARE ALL HEALTHY AS YOU AGREE TO RECEIVE A UNIVERSAL MINIMUM INCOME SUPPORT. CONFUSING THE SETTLEDNESS OF THIS EVIDENT TECHNOLOGICAL SOLUTION TO THE DISRUPTIVE JOBLESSNESS OCCASIONED BY TECHNOLOGICAL REALITY OF AUTOMATION IS THE RECITATION OF A CULTURE OF MALADY AND ABUSES OF AUTHORITY THAT SAT ON THE BACKEND OF AMERICAN LIFE AND CONSTITUTIONAL REALITY THAT IS DEMANDING EXPRESSION AND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT IN SPITE OF ALL THE PROMISES OF A ROUTINE LIFE AND WORLD THAT SHOULD RENDER WITH REASONABLE HABITS OF MODERATION AN IKEA MAYTAG FRIGIDAIRE RCA SONY SAMSUNG AMERICAN HOUSEHOLD AMERICAN DREAMS FOR 5G; FOR FIVE GENERATIONS BUT OF IT COULD BE SO ROUTINE, THEN WHAT HONOR WILL THAT COLLECTION OF VICTIMS IN NEW YORK RECEIVE FOR WHAT THEY SACRIFICED THAT WE MIGHT EAT AND HONOR THE DEATH OF A SALESMAN? TO HONOR THE VICTIMS OF PREVIOUS GENERATIONS, A COMMUNITY CALLED NEW YORK OR NEW AMSTERDAM WANTS TO HOLD THE AUTOMATIC CASH MINIMUM INCOME SUPPORT SOLUTION RANSOM SINCE HOW CAN THE UN HAVE AUTHORITY OVER THESE BLACKHAWK CREOLES WHO EAT PASTA SAUCE BUT MAY NOT KNOW HOW TO SAY CUCCHIANI AND UNDERSTAND THE MEANING OR MAYBE THEY DO BUT HOW CAN YOU BE CLOSE TO ITALY IF YOU DON'T HAVE MODERN WORLD OR MODERN ITALIAN SOCIO-ECONOMICS SO YOU CAN BUY MODERN ITALIAN DISHWASHERS? BUT, YOU DONT WANT THE BLACK BLACKHAWKS TO HAVE IT; JUST THE NON AFRO TO SAY YOU ARE NOT RELATED BUT, WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT? YOU NEED TO SELL MORE VEHICLES. YOU SEE THE POINT. WHILE ITALY WOULD PREFER TO SEE THE RECITATION OF THE CULTURAL MALADY IN A MOVIE AND NOT IN MODERN POLITICS SO THAT MORE FIAT, MASSERATI AND LAMBORGHINI CAN BE SOLD BRAND NEW IN NEW YORK. SINCE I AM BLACK, I AM BUYING A MASERFIATI BECAUSE SOME BLACK PEOPLE MIGHT THINK I AM TRYING TO TAKE AUTHORITY OTHERWISE; FIAT. SO,WHY WORRY ABOUT WHETHER THERE ARE REALLY BLACK PEOPLE IN EUROPE REALLY SPEAKING ITALIAN. THEY ARE NOT BLACK. THEY ARE ITALIAN. THEY ARE EUROPEAN. COVID 19 IS ALSO SOME KIND OF TACIT UNWRITTEN AGREEMENT TO RETURN OUR COUNTRY TO NORMAL HOWEVER, SOME HAVE ABUSED THIS LEVITICAL HOUR TO SAY THAT IF YOU TRY AND ACCESS YOUR 401K, YOU SEEM TO END UP REPORTED AS COVID DEAD ON CNEN LIKE NIXON'S BARBER IN NEW JERSEY. THE MASLOW-LYON HIERARCHY SAYS MONEY IS NOT THE TOP PHYSIOLOGICAL NEED IN THE HIERARCHY OF NEEDS DISCUSSED BY MASLOW BUT MONEY IS THE TOP NEED SOCIOECONOMICALLY ABOVE ALL ELSE IN SATISFYING ALL OTHER NEEDS IN THE MASLOW-LYON HIERARCHY OF NEEDS. WORK USED TO BE HOW WE OBTAIN MONEY. IT MAY NOT BE THE WAY IN WHICH MOST PEOPLE SECURE THE MONEY THEY REQUIRE MAINTAIN LIFE DUE TO THE CAUSALITY OF JOBLESSNESS OCCASIONED BY AUTOMATION SO WE AGREE BY CONVENTION THAT A SOCIOECONOMIC PROGRAMME CALLED UNIVERSAL UNCONDITIONAL MINIMUM INCOME SUPPORT IS NECESSARY FOR ALL CITIZENS; ALSO KNOWN AS A BASIC INCOME OR BOLSA FAMILIA IN BRAZIL. YET, MAN CANNOT LOVE BY BREAD ALONE BUT EVERY WORD THAT COMES FROM THE MOUTH OF GOD AND AS MUCH AS ABEL WAS HONORED FOR HUNTING AND BAREBCUEING FRESH GAZELLE MEAT, CAIN IS INFAMOUS FOR THE MURDER PREDICATED ON THE EMOTION OF JEALOUSY FOR GOD'S APPROVAL AND ACCEPTANCE BUT YOU TOO,IF YOU DO WHAT IS RIGHT, YOU WILL CERTAINLY BE ACCEPTED. THIS MEANS YOU DONT HAVE TO HUNT TO EAT. YOU CAN BUY THE COW STEAKS AND THE VEGETABLES. YOU ARE NOT LOSING ANY PART OF YOURSELF OR YOUR CULTURE IN HAVING MONEY BUT IF YOU WANT TO HUNT OR RAISE LIVESTOCK, YOU ARE WELCOME. YOU ARE CELEBRATED. YOU ARE ACCEPTED. THE ANSWER NOW FOR ACCEPTANCE ABOVE AND BEYOND THE NOTION OF MEN EATING BY THE SWEAT OF THEIR BROW IS THE GODLY, CIVIC 19 WISDOM SEEN IN 2ND CHRONICLES 31 WHERE WE AGREE OUR SOCIETY AND MODERN ROBOTIC AUTOMATED LABOR CULTURE AFFORDS US A UNIVERSAL UNCONDITIONAL MINIMUM INCOME SUPPORT TO SATISFY ALL MASLOW PHYSIOLOGICAL NEEDS THEREBY CONFIRMING THE MASLOW-LYON HIERARCHY. GOD'S WORD CONFIRMS THE SOCIOECONOMIC IMPORTANCE OF THE STIPEND PROVIDED TO ALL CITIZENS IN THE LEVITICAL, CIVIC WISDOM THAT IS THE WAY OF KINGS. THE INCUMBENT FOLLOWS IT. PELOFI AND BERNIE, THE CANDIDATE, TALKS ABOUT BUT HE USES THE PHRASE DEMAND SIDE ECONOMICS STIMULATION TO BE GIVEN TO EVERY CITIZEN; SAME THING. IT'S NOT JUST THE LOGIC OF THE MASS JOBLESS CAUSALITY SEEN IN THE JOBLESSNESS THAT IS OCCASIONED BY ROBOTIC AUTOMATION. THE EXPERIENCE FOR THE MAJORITY OF THE NORTH AMERICAN POPULATION FOR THE LAST 70 YEARS HAS BEEN THAT YOU WOULD PREFER IGNORANCE THAT YOUR POLITICIANS WOULD ALLOW YOU TO ROB THE BANK SOME HOW WITH IMPUNITY AND IMMUNITY IN A MANNER AKIN TO THE JOKER !!! INSTEAD OF SETTING UP A NATIONWIDE MASSACHUSETTS, MINNESOTA OR VERMONT STYLE UNIVERSAL UNCONDITIONAL MINIMUM INCOME SUPPORT. IT'S KIND OF CRAZY THOUGH. BUT, IF THE REAL MOTIVE WAS A HUNTER GATHERER CULTURAL PRESERVATION, IF IT'S ALL ABOUT CULTURAL PRESERVATION THAT WOULD HAVE TO NECESSITATE PEOPLE PRESERVATION AS PEOPLE EXPRESS, CELEBRATE AND SHARE CULTURES. I WENT TO MASSACHUSETTS MYSELF 65 YEARS AGO WHEN THEY WERE GIVING ABORIGINAL PEOPLE AND THE BLACK AND WHITE PEOPLE $20,000.00 PER YEAR 65 YEARS AGO WHETHER OR NOT THEY HAD A JOB. I PREFER MASSACHUSETTS; AYE!! BUT THE DISCUSSION WITH THE WHITE ABORIGINAL ACROSS THE COUNTRY WAS OVER AFTER THE CARES ACT BECAME A UNIVERSAL UNCONDITIONAL PROGRAMME TO HELP ALL CITIZENS STILL IN THE SOCIOECONOMIC GAP AND NOT JUST THE UNEMPLOYED SINCE YOU WOULD BE BETTER GETTING FIRED DURING THESE COVID TIMES AT $1200.00 PER WEEK OF JUST MOVING TO VERMONT TO ENJOY THE REAL AMERICA WITH THE UNIVERSAL UNCONDITIONAL MINIMUM INCOME SUPPORT OF $60,000.00 PER YEAR. SO, NOW AS WE HAVE THE ANSWER AND THERE ARE STILL INDIAN RESERVATIONS AND NATIONAL PARKS FOR US ALL TO ENJOY AS FULLY AMERINDIAN OR PARTIALLY AMERINDIAN PEOPLE THE NOTION OF MONEY AS A SYSTEMIC SYMBOL, THREATENING OUR "ABORIGINALS" WAY OF LIFE IS OVER. I USE MONEY TO PAY FOR THE ELECTRICITY TO KEEP THE WILD DANDELIONS COLD IN MY FREEZER AFTER I GO GATHERING AND FORAGING EVERY SO OFTEN UPSTATE. I USE MONEY TO BUY FISH HOOKS. I USE MONEY TO BUY A 24 HOUR HUNTING LICENSE ONCE A YEAR TO SHOOT WILD BOAR. WE CAN ALL USE A LITTLE MONEY AS ABORIGINALS. I ALSO USE MY MINIMUM INCOME SUPPORT MONEY TO PAY FOR MY LINCOLN AVIATOR THROUGH A WELLS NARCO BANK LOAN AND MY MORTGAGE IS WITH BANCO DE AMERICANO. I CERTAINLY DO HAVE POSH STYLE; A DIFFERENT CLASS MATE. YOU ARE WILLING TO POUR A BILLION DOLLARS IN TO A BUSINESS NAME BUT YKUBDINT TO EXCLUDES THE PERSON WHO OWNS THE TRADEMARK TO THAT NAME AND THE BILLIONS YOU ARE WORKING TO SPEND. JUST GIVE HIM $58,000.00 A YEAR FOR THE NAME AND CALL HIM A NIGGER. THERE WILL BE ABSOLUTE AUTHORITY ADDICTS ARRESTED FOR COVID 19 AS RUMOURED JUST AS SUCH INDIVIDUALS WERE ARRESTED FOR NAZISM 70 YEARS AGO IF ANY ABUSES OF POWER TO STEAL OR ABUSE OR THREATEN PERSONAL PROPERTY AS THREATENING HUMAN LIFE OR LIVES WERE INVOLVED IN ACHIEVING THAT MISAPPROPRIATION OF PROPERTY. IT SEEMS NATIONAL POLICE SERVICES HAVE A PLETHORA OF EVIDENCE. COVID 19 WAS ABOUT LEVITICUS, ABOUT GETTING BACK ON TRACK AND HUNTING DOWN BUSINESSES AND WHORES THAT THREATENED INDIVIDUALS WITH DISEASES. THE WHORE MUST DOUCHE THREE TIMES BEFORE AND AFTER EACH CLIENT. COFFEE SHOPS MUST WASH THEIR POTS AT THE END OF EACH HOUR. THIS IS TO FIGHT THE SPREAD OF THE COVID. WARREN A LYON AT ANGEL RONAN™ IS FIGHTING THE COVID BY HANDING OUT FREE MASKS WITH EVERY CONSULTATION. BUT, WHAT IS REALLY HAPPENING IN THE MEDIA AND IN POLITICS ? //////// Laclau and Mouffe provide a greater sense of the new specific ity of the political, where ideas of a ruling class are no longer the dominant or hegemonic ideology and have been replaced by a "...field of stylistic and discursive heterogeneity without a norm." This is an important consideration as the way in which political decisions are made and conflicts are resolved have begun to reflect social heterogeneity through the inclusion of new and once marginal ised voices in the political process. This is the result of transformations in social relations which have provided the framework necessary for the question ing of subordi nate relations and the demanding of new rights, Leading to the politicization of social relations and a new logic of equival ence which extends itself from workers struggles to struggles of women, racial, sexual, and regional minorities as they merge into a unique and indivisible struggle of all groups against subordina tion and marginalisation. Through a new common sense which changes the identity of the different groups, the interests of all groups are articulated equivalently, where the free development of each is the condition for the free develop ment of all. In the present, there is also an attempt to depoliticise economic, social, and political decisions, making them the responsi bility of experts, restricting the subversive nature of the democratic struggle. This is seen in the anti-egalitar ian, hier archical, neo-liberal defence of the free market economy, challeng ing the attempt to eclipse a "universal", epistemological discourse by the dis courses of the resis tance of marginal populations which provide the foundations for what Laclau and Mouffe have called the "democratic revol ution." Nevertheless, the Machia vel lian Prince(Bill Clinton) must hone his virtu to win the new game of the politics of inclusion; a new politics of the present(as Laclau and Mouffe demonstrate) which is not "zero sum" and which gives the subordi nated the hope for improvement in the human condition while Rousseau assures us that the pursuit of the knowledge of self is still a worthy and spiri tually fulfilling enterprise. Epictetus informs us least about the present conditions. While providing us with proverbial and ecclesiastical writings, he works within a paradigm of divine reason and absolute concepts of truth; both of which have been discluded in the Postmodern discourse. Moreover, he does not provide any insight into the end of grand narratives, the decentering of the humanist subject, micropolitics, simulacrum, or any of the other characteristics of postmodernism. The ancient concept of self in relation to the postmodern concept of self is one of great contrast. In many senses, the postmodern concept appears to be a fulfilment of the ancients warnings and fears of what would happen to men who lack the knowledge of self. To answer this question, I used Alcibiades, Epictetus, Jameson, and Kroker. The ancient concept of self found in Plato and Epictetus is that of a divinely rational and spiritual being which lives in conflict with his physical nature. These theorists teach us that if a man is to live a just or right life, self knowl edge is a necessity, enabling him to take care of him self. They also demonstrate that deception of self can only occur, leading to mistakes in life, when one is ignorant and possesses the conceit of knowledge. A man ignorant of his own needs will fall into error and lead a life of misery. As a result, the admittance and embrace of one's ignorance is the first step one must take to acquire self knowledge. Unless we are convicted that we do not know anything, we will continue to make errors out of a state of false knowl edge. Upon recognition of our ignorance, we can begin to inquire and to examine ourselves and our true nature. Essential ly, knowl edge of the self should bring man into acquaint ance with vir tue. It is through the acquisition of virtue that a man will know how to take care of himself and others, pursuing a path of human develop ment that will lead to improvement as opposed to corruption. Both Plato and Epictetus see human development as the improvement of one's soul and not as the improvement of things which one may possess. As a result, they both express the necessity for men to make contact with that which is divine. Plato says that a man who knows that he does not know, entrusts his affairs to a superior being which for him is God as he places faith in his divine oracle. Although these theorists concepts of God are not the same, they both place man under the charge of the divine. For Epictetus, man is under the charge of reason which is that part of the divine imparted to men in creation. In their writings, there is an evident relation ship between human develop ment and self knowledge. Man and mankind can develop so that they either improve upon their condition or become corrupted. The course of human development which one takes is dependent upon the extent of the knowledge of self which one acquires. The knowledge of the things of this world without the knowledge of self, will result in a man pursuing knowledge to satisfy his desire for riches, power, and wealth, leading to debauchery as opposed to betterment. If human development is simply motivated by the desire to find ways to acquire more comforts, wealth, riches, and might, it will lead to misery as men are ignorant and become increas ingly ignorant through their pursuit. As Plato said, it is "...not he who has riches, but he who has wisdom that is delivered from his mis ery." As a result, the soul will develop in accord ance with its materialistic or its spiritual goals. In a negative manifestation of the Ancient's concept of self, Postmodern man lives in plato's "cave" of delirium, false con sciousness, virtual reality, depraved emotion, and fragmented existence as Jameson and Kroker demonstrate. Jameson tells us that man, as the centred subject, has been dissolved by seeking increasing efficiency, developing a postmodern world of organisational bureaucracy. He possesses a decentered psyche and no longer experiences alienation and anxiety in addition to other human emotions but is a fragmented being where, although there is no longer a self present to do the feel ing, one can experience intensities; "...free floating and impersonal and (which ) tend to be dominated by a peculiar kind of euphoria." These inten sities are fed by man's new appetite for a world transformed into images of itself and never ending spectacles. Postmodern society is the society of the "cave" where mental space is that of a degraded "objective spirit" and where cultural production only represents society's ideas and stereotypes about the past. The dim fire light of Plato's cave makes it difficult to not only see and know oneself but to emerge from one's hovel and look upon the "putative real world" illuminated by the elucidatng sun. All that postmodern man sees is a trace of his mental images of the past and of reality upon the confining walls of the society of the simulac rum which has colonised his unconscious through media and advertising. Assuming to know, we have become self deceived, as the ancients warned. And by seeking to improve things as opposed to the self, we have come upon the "...ultimate contemporary fetishisation of the human body...acquiring a glossy skin, a stereoscopic illusion." Through seeking to relentlessly improve things and not the soul, we have crushed human life altogether through technology; that alienated power which turns back on us and against us and seems to "...Con sti tute the massive dystopian horizon of our collective as well as our individual praxis." The ancients warned us that if human improvement is motivated only by the attainment of comforts, it would lead to misery. And without the knowledge of self, there is nothing left "...but that which is deplorable and reprehensible...". We fulfil our addiction to images of the past, stereotypes, or texts, removing any "...practical sense of the future and of the collective project, thereby abandoning the thinking of future change to fantasies of sheer catastrophe and inexplicable cataclysm, from visions of "terrorism" on the social level to those of cancer on the personal." As we glorify and shape ourselves for the "Almighty" commodity, "having" has become more important than being(Debord) and all we can look forward to is imaginary tranquillity at the price of real happi ness(Rousseau). Through virtual reality, postmodern man can buy imaginary tranquillity. he has become "...crash bodies always on the hunt for a new techno-thrill.", not self knowledge. he has come to a point where he has been born into the "cave" or electronic cage of virtual reality. He has "..always lived virtually...(where he)...have never had direct knowledge of a (natural) world outside the electronic frontier." These observations give credence to the ancients exhortations, albeit, in a negative sense. The self, as Kroker demonstrates, has become virtual such that it is purely aesthetic, disappearing into the "...electronic vortex of the floating self (and) is finally liberated of (fixed) identity, of determinate gender, of (localised) history, and of (bodily) subjectiv ity...which means the triumph of illu sion...(while)...the virtual self...vanishes down the electronic highway from nothing to nowhere." Postmodern man is the willing practitioner of this new world of the floating self, spasm, and of organs without bodies as he accepts and pursues the material promises of this world which purport maximum information, wealth and mobility, but which, in fact, give us little under standing and (lead to) alienated masses harmonious ly dependent on elite command centres. This new virtual experience has given us a techno-skinned has shut down a whole range of human experiences, replacing them with thrills and intensities as Jameson concurs. We have come to a historical place where technology is the latest and most grisly manifestation of Nietzsche's will to power, leaving the self as a torn and fragmented victim. Nevertheless, Kroker says that to "Know your self" is still an attainable goal but that self recognition is not so much about knowing the self but about becoming aware and "...discovering anew the shock of the real." It is about walking out of the "cave" of the electronic cage of virtual reality and into the real (if not the natural) world. Yet, as the ancients say, the knowledge of self is a process of training of the spirit as an athlete trains the body for competition. It begins with awareness and awareness begins with the acceptance of ignorance and, in the postmodern, the shock of the real. So let it be that man leaves the illusions of the simulacrum, the "cave", and of virtual reality so that he may begin to pursue knowledge without assuming to know and hopefully realise a new humanity not filled only with the "hope" of catastrophe and holocaust but improvement within the human condition.

This just in; New evidence indicates that there were only four slave ship manifests confirming four ships left Africa for the new world. As such, the average brown or Black aboriginal American is a 1/4  African at best.  The evidence is that afro Aborigines existed and were alReady in America before the arrival of Europeans but they were not students of the existing civilizations that existed in Africa.  They were hunter gatherers while the Africans who were brought to America were farmers and metal workers and carpenters.     However, THERE MAY BE A CERTAIN DEGREE OF RISK OR LIFE THREATENING WORK THAT, TO THE white, Red, Yellow or black ABORIGINAL, IS ANTHROPOLOGICALLY, SUBCONSCIOUSLY CONSIDERED a NECESSITY IN FINDING THE RESOURCES NECESSARY TO SATISFY THE MASLOW-LYON HIERARCHY OF NEEDS INVOLVING THE SUSTENANCE. YOU BEAT OR SHOOT THE DEER. THEN YOU BEAT OR SHOOT THE BANK MANAGER OR MAYBE THE CASH COULD JUST ARRIVE AUTOMATICALLY IN A TACIT SOCIOPOLITICAL AGREEMENT THAT SAYS YOU ARE ALL HEALTHY AS YOU AGREE TO RECEIVE A UNIVERSAL MINIMUM INCOME SUPPORT.    Confusing the settledness of this evident technological solution to the disruptive joblessness occasioned by  technological reality of AUTOMATION is the recitation of a culture of malady and abuses of authority that sat on the backend of American life and constitutional reality that is demanding expression and acknowledgement in spite of all the promises of a routine life and world that should render with reasonable habits of moderation an IKEA Maytag Frigidaire RCA Sony Samsung American household American dreams for 5G; for five generations but of it could be so routine, then what honor will that collection of  victims in New York receive for what they sacrificed that we might eat and honor the death of a salesman?  To honor the victims of previous generations, a community called New York or new Amsterdam wants to hold the automatic cash minimum income support solution ransom since how can the UN have authority over these BlackHawk Creoles who eat pasta sauce but may not know how to say cucchiani AND understand the meaning or maybe they do but how can you be close to Italy if you don't have modern world or modern Italian socio-economics so you can buy modern Italian dishwashers? But, you dont WANT the  black Blackhawks to have it; just the non Afro to say you are not related but, why would you do that?  You need to sell more vehicles. You see the point.        while Italy would prefer to see the recitation of the cultural malady In a movie and not in modern politics so that more Fiat, Masserati and Lamborghini can be sold brand new in New York. Since I am black, I am buying a Maserfiati because some black people might think I am trying to take authority otherwise; FIAt.

We fulfil our addiction to images of the past, stereotypes, or texts, removing any "...practical sense of the future and of the collective project, thereby abandoning the thinking of future change to fantasies of sheer catastrophe and inexplicable cataclysm, from visions of "terrorism" on the social level to those of cancer on the personal." As we glorify  and shape ourselves for the "Almighty" commodity, "having" has become more important than being(Debord) and all we can look forward to is imaginary tranquillity at the price of real happi ness(Rousseau).

Through virtual reality, postmodern man can buy imaginary tranquillity.  he has become "...crash bodies always on the hunt for a new techno-thrill.", not self knowledge.  he has come to a point where he has been born into the "cave" or electronic cage of virtual reality.  He has "..always lived virtually...(where he)...have never had direct knowledge of a (natural) world outside the electronic frontier."  These observations give credence to the ancients exhortations, albeit, in a negative sense.

The self, as Kroker demonstrates, has become virtual such that it is purely aesthetic, disappearing into the "...electronic vortex of the floating self (and) is finally liberated of (fixed) identity, of determinate gender, of (localised) history, and of (bodily) subjectiv ity...which means the triumph of illu sion...(while)...the virtual self...vanishes down the electronic highway from nothing to nowhere."

Postmodern man is the willing practitioner of this new world of the floating self, spasm, and of organs without bodies as he accepts and pursues the material promises of this world which purport maximum

information, wealth and mobility, but which, in fact, give us little under standing and (lead to) alienated masses harmonious ly dependent on elite command centres.  

This new virtual experience has given us a techno-skinned has shut down a whole range of human experiences, replacing them with thrills and intensities as Jameson concurs.  We have come to a historical place where technology is the latest and most grisly manifestation of Nietzsche's will to power, leaving the self as a torn and fragmented victim.  Nevertheless, Kroker says that to "Know your self" is still an attainable goal but that self recognition is not so much about knowing the self but about becoming aware and "...discovering anew the shock of the real."  It is about walking out of the "cave" of the electronic cage of virtual reality and into the real (if not the natural) world.  Yet, as the ancients say, the knowledge of self is a process of training of the spirit as an athlete trains the body for competition.  It begins with awareness and awareness begins with the acceptance of ignorance and, in the postmodern, the shock of the real.  So let it be that man leaves the illusions of the simulacrum, the "cave", and of virtual reality so that he may begin to pursue knowledge without assuming to know and hopefully realise a new humanity not filled only with the "hope" of catastrophe and holocaust but improvement within the human condition.
