Hi ,

Some words about language and technology and totalitarian technology,
wich are from the same debate.
 Keachie has told us about the dreams as a way to escape from technology
authority. So the question is : can we escape from technics ?
        1 in the artistic expression the answer should be ; may be not,
may be yes :
A just technic artist cannot be an artist, he is a copist, a non-technic
artist, as we can see in music, is just a basical technic one. A true
artist, I think, is someone who is nit just technic, or someone who
creates a technic.
        2 are the dreams non technics ? I mean : can the dream be not
structured as a language. Is not the dreamer an artist ? In the case he
is, the dream is also strutured like a language this is : he operates
forwarding a certain technic.
       With psychanalisis we can speak about a totalitarism of technics,
because, the psychanalist shows to the patient that there is a technic
manipulating him and his dreams. In the extreme case, in wich the
psychanalyst applies an "interpretation of dreams" on the patient, he
his also a dictator of the thought.
