whats in the name

to explain the meaning of ganzfeld. since it is my chosen name of this blog.

ganzfeld n.
from Ganzfeld "whole field": a type of experiment used in researching psychic experiences [<>

"I am, in fact, the subject of a ganzfeld experiment. Ganzfeld, German for 'whole field,' refers to the boundless void in which I seem to be afloat." Kenneth Miller, "Phychics: Science or Séance?" Life, June 1998.

popularily known for being the name of telepathic experiments, i personally only knew about the second term until just now. what ganzfeld is is kind of like when you are involved in a *white-out* during a snow storm.. where you can perceive spatial depth even though it could all just be a flat simple colour. this is what james turrell uses in the exploration of light and space in his projects.

For the most part in the West we worship a certain type of economics, which is like worshipping a false god. It's like the Incas sacrificing children to try to get immortal life: politicians are willing to sacrifice the wellbeing of the people in their country in order to fit into this economic straitjacket which doesn't actually benefit anyone. It's a theory about economics which will collapse, and the sooner people realise that, the quicker they will be able to understand how we should be engaging with the world around us. Hopefully they will realise it before it collapses.

i just really like the comparison he used to the economy.. Incas sacrificing children to try to get immortal life. its the most accurate comparison i've ever heard.
