Oh, and what was the previous image? Do I have to get a subpoena issued to find out?

Do Any of You Know What a Subpoena Looks Like
Notice to All Vigilante/Pixelante/GP Posters:
I have been receiving anonymous emails from posters here, which are extremely annoying and intended to be so.
Please note that each such email violates a new federal law which prohibits the sending of such emails, anonymously.
I'm saving the emails for an attachment to a subpoena. I am able by the subpoena to find out who each of you is. Boy, will your parents be annoyed.
You all try and figure out what the nature of the lawsuit may be.
Secondly, please note that not a single one of the terms listed by LiveJournal has been violated by me. Not one. If you can read, read the Terms of Agreement.
Proof of my compliance is that LiveJournal has NEVER contacted me advising me of any terms violation. Never.
Dennis McCauley, on the other hand, hypocrite that he is, keeps TRYING to ban me from GamePolitics because he doesn't like my blowing the whistle on his being caught by a newspaper misrepresenting his relationship with it, and he doesn't like the fact that I have had way more success in harming the video game industry than he has had in defending it. See Eliot Spitzer's recent announcement, which turns on the Hot Coffee incident. Hillary is the greatest anti-gamer babe, don't you think?
Mr. McCauley's view is that freedom of experessionis for the video game industry but not for anyone else. Journalists know otherwise.
Mr. McCauley, who keeps posting stories here attacking me, even promoting a kill-jack-thompson game,really needs to grow up and learn that freedom of expression is even for people with whom he doesn't agree. Poor, Dennis. He may wake up one day with a subpoena on his lap.

What I have been talking about is knowledge. Knowledge, perhaps, is not a good word for this. Perhaps one would rather say my image of the world. Knowledge has an implication of validity, of truth. What I am talking about is what I believe to be true; my subjective knowledge. It is this Image that largely governs my behavior. In about an hour I shall rise, leave my office, go to a car, drive down to my home, play with the children, have supper, perhaps read a book, go to bed. I can predict this behavior with a fair degree to accuracy because of the knowledge which I have: the knowledge that I have a home not far away, to which I am accustomed to go. The prediction, of course, may not be fulfilled. There may be an earthquake, I may have an accident with the car on the way home, I may get home to find that my family has been suddenly called away. A hundred and one things may happen. As each event occurs, however, it alters my knowledge structure or my image. And as it alters my image, I behave accordingly. The first proposition of this work, therefore, is that behavior depends on the image.

The human being, on the other hand, is firmly located in a temporal process. He has an image of the past which extends back far beyond the limits of his own life and experience, and he likewise has an image of the future. Closely associated with the time structure of his image is the image of the structure of relationships. Because we are aware of time, we are also aware of cause and effect, of contiguity and succession, of cycles and repetition. The image of man is also characterized by a much greater degree of self-consciousness and of self-awareness than that of the lower animals. We not only know, but we know that we know. This reflective character of the human image is unique, and is what leads to philosophy.

 

Kenneth Boulding

 

An image means nothing. It is just a door, leading to the next door. It will never happens that we will find the truth we are looking for just in an image; it will happen behind the last door that the spectator discover the truth, because of his own efforts.

 

Antoni Tapies

 

If a totally new image is to come into being however, there must be sensitivity to internal messages, the image itself must be sensitive to change, must be unstable, and it must include a value image which places high value on trials, experiments, and the trying of new things.
