Would remapping the World remap politics ?

[ohmyliver]

So you actually believe that these remappings had no political consequences. Yet again, Koknbul demonstrating a somewhat more sophisticated understanding of history and politics than you.

Surely the remappings are the consequences of geopolitical goings on, rather than the reverse.

 

[Koknbul]

no not me pal. I'm just holding his coat.

I know, I'm egging him on !

 

[RD2003]

of course, you are a prime candidate for rewiring

Somebody should have done it decades ago tbh.

 

[brogdale]

that's a marketing ploy

what I'm selling is eternal life

Are you a believer ?

What’s this go to do with the great mapping summit?

 

[Koknbul]

we are being mapped & re mapped all the time

 

[RD2003]

I wondered that, but I kind of like it. It's a bit like what they tried to do in those films featuring the Beatles sort-of trying to act while at the same tme being themselves.

 

[Koknbul]

this is the awakening

Who’s this wally?

True dat, but aren’t we straying from the insidey-out mapping conference thing a bit?

Have you been to the Maparium in Boston MA? It's amazing, even though built, managed and maintained by religious nut jobs.

A bit like the Solidarnosc memorial thing in Gdansk. Or at least how it was in 1994.

The communist world, inside out, seems a little more extensive than I’d realised

divide & conquer
the tool the intellectuals use against the physicals

It's shows the world as in was in 1935 or something. I think they were going to update it but that turned out to be too hard because it's made of stained glass.

It is genuinely awesome though. probably wasted on a shit thread like this.

Well, thankfully there is absolutely zero chance of you using that tool then...

 

[Koknbul]

religion & politics

2 sides

of the same coin

 

[teuchter]

You're assuming that these various mappings have had political consequences. Go one then, put your money where your capacious gob is and tell me how the various editions of the times atlas have had political consequences. Or the bartholomew atlas, or the atlas in whitakers almanack

Perhaps you would like to first outline your definitions of "mappings" and "political consequences" which I expect you are going to make impossibly narrow in an attempt to shore up your hasty and embarrassing initial statement; one made in the adrenaline rush resulting from an apparent opportunity to put down a new poster with a glibly dismissive remark.

For a cosy little mapping thread this has suddenly gone a bit Khmer Rouge. Bit worried now, being a spectacles wearer.

zero, thanks
maybe you could lower your expectations ?

Koknbul will have you standing in the market place with a sign round your neck by 1100 tomorrow morning then...

There is physically no way I could lower my expectations of a thread like this.

That’s a little early for me, I’m afraid.

good, now we have established a baseline...

Where do we go from here ?

I love New Age fascism. I once, briefly, had a girlfriend who was amusingly New-Agey, but, when you scratched the surface, had a lot in common with fascists.
