Intriguing tales of adventurism(all the firsts) inter-continental flights, Valley of the Kings styled explorations,Everest attempts,Hollywood premiers,ninth inning victories,national radio broadcasts,seem like a faded photograph of obsession as an invisible void in the human psyche is filled by sensational instances. There are only so many hours in a day, a limit to what the struggle for subsistence can supply across the plurality. As hard as life may be,it figures that when tools and duties are dropped so easily, the home and workplace vacated (attention redirected) the needs of the moment pushed away,that our human race exhibits a desperate need for collective experience. In fact, many of us would declare injustice if we were displaced in the waiting line for collective information.
[Information/identity] and [individual isolation/activity] appear to be polarized extremes that collective experience would bridge and reconcile. Subscription availability and costs, unfair trade practice,management's marketing and manipulation are all downsides among the way this business is conducted. Stranded motorists on the Antarctic ice shelf abound as we become the metaphor of our individual capacity to be fully enfranchised. Existing evidence(limited notions) as to how collective reality is constructed, experienced and participated in must be supplanted by more useful knowledge,at the very least, if any future progress on Their Majesties Extraordinary Royal Bi-Polar Expedition is to be made in this circa.
Your humble servant,
Capt. Scotland

Collective experience, like charity, begins at home. Unless you're the only one there.
As happens here among the wooden dragons, I am knocked speechless by the deluge of ideas.
So I'll just offer a tangentially-related topic for discussion:
Is sex the opposite of schizophrenia?
Jim, You are most definitely on to something with this question. Without some thought it would be difficult for me to say if sex was the opposite of anything. However,shifting ones center of identity does not have to be neurotic. It does come into the dynamic of sexual relations, and perhaps canbe seen in the outcomes of all experiential relations. more later......
