H.R. Giger scuplture CAPRICORN – understanding Free Planet
as I was born in the month of January, I’m a Capricorn.
Austrian hyper-surrealist and inventor of the Alien creature, H.R. Giger did a series of astrological sculptures in 1995 or so; here’s Capricorn – joy.

and this creation, this weird and confusing work of art, sorta made me realise, “Artists aren’t supposed to be understood,” and by that (of course) I’m refering to this ponderous Free Planet mantra I keep hammering out.
It’s a MIND SET; Free Planet is supposed to be lived, not ‘understood’. What’s that allegory about an unfamiliar path, “Never criticize a man until you’ve walked a mile in his moccasins.”
I look at the world, or the people in it, ruling it, subjugated by it, and I’m just sorta disgusted at the apathy and self-ridicule that goes on, on a daily basis, in the name of the stupidest made-up lifestyle ever, Consumerism. I’m dumb-founded by all the gratuitous insanity of a world off-kilter, where the latest shoes, hat, cat are far more important than where we’re being led, as a race of sheople. I look into the eyes of Joe Public and beg and pray that one of them, one day, is gonna go, “It’s okay, Mike, we all really understand what you’re trying to tell us,” and pats me on the shoulder like it’s gonna be alright and our children’s children aren’t gonna suffer in some terrible Corporate Gulag working for slave wage so that some fat cunt can slurp his extra-rare shark-fin soup from a golden soup spoon.
And, you know, that’s all I can hope for, before my death. Before all the energy I’m investing, into the Free Planet blog and the (planned) novels that are spawning from it, dissipates no more: ceases to be. That someone TRIES, at least tries, to see the world through Free Planet eyes. Then someone who has tried, and seen the potential for themselves, can convince others of its benefit to the planet and ALL her inhabitants.
That someone will have ‘real global influence’ (i.e. not me, obviously) and will take this mission forward; twenty, fifty, a hundred years after I’m gone.
