Deductive reasoning is a powerful talent.
The starships of the future, in other words the vehicles
of the future, which will explore the high frontier of the
unknown will be syntactical. The engineers of the future
will be poets. This is what virtual reality holds out to
us -
the possibility of walking in to the constructs of the
imagination. In a way culture is that. I mean our cities,
bridges, highways, airliners and art galleries are
condensations out of the imagination, but at
tremendous cost because we must make them out of
matter. Once we can make them out of light, out of
electrons, then we won`t build skyscrapers a hundred
and twenty stories high, we`ll build them as high as we
want. Roof height will no longer be a factor ruled by cost
effectiveness and gravity, it will be a parameter ruled by
the imagination as will all other parameters and then
we will discover what man truly is - when we are able to
erect, stabilize. share and explore our dreams in a kind
of virtual hyperspace that, carefully analyzed, is seen to
be linguistic. That`s what its connectors are made out
of, that`s what its ferro-concrete and steel is, is the
edifice of language. This is what the stuff of the
imagination is made of and I think this is what we`re
moving toward. The psychedelic shamans have always
known this. Now the psychedelic underground art
community points toward this goal and leads the way.
