Now more than ever, we are aware of the unsteadiness of the variables that conduct chaos around the globe. The interconnectivity of man-made systems unites us all in the currency of absurdity. Capitalism is an absurd system cloaked in the legitimacy of bureaucracy. Pile migration is a practical approach to thinking about resource allocation cloaked in absurdity. Both ideas are bound to fail. Eventually the expanding scope of nature, either sub-atomic or ultra-solar, will stretch capitalism beyond its static borders. Eventually moving piles will become an outdated mode for altering thought, and will, in time, come to reinforce a useless ideology.
This is the nature of the imperfect construction of anthropomorphic systems. Our gadgets and gears, the systems we devise to sustain ourselves, are designed inside a field of agitated kinetics. The problem is that our man-made systems are not constructed to cope with the sliding scale of nature. We build societies inside a vacuum. And when the nature of reality outside that vacuum shifts, we are flattened and useless. What separates pile migration, we would like to think, from previous warps in human efforts at understanding and templating is that pile migration is not a template for understanding. Pile migration is more of an invitation for confusion than an approach (to anything). Pile migration acknowledges the uneven ground that our constructions are balanced upon -- the pile itself being the uneven icon of novelty that it is. By abandoning the presumed firmness of geology and fact, we open ourselves up to new interpretations and experiences. |
Pile Migration didn't have to be about pile migration. The physical manifestation of an inward idea is a pointless cue-card, in most cases. This book could have just as easily been titled “Tree Painting: How to Defeat Capitalism” or “Pool Draining: How to Defeat Capitalism.” The means are not the ends, and the justification of an end requires no mean. All methods are just attempts at subliminal diagnosis. Do we need a tool to subvert capitalism? Did we ever have a tool? Is there a Scrabble with too many words?
If you want to look at our proposed system for economic transformation like an electrical circuit you can. You don't have to. Here is a brief description of how it actually works. We have presented an alternate approach to interpreting the environment, channeling this idea through the act of pile migration creates an economy to replace capitalism. Check your skepticism. We've tested our theories on small scales and they work. (((We began moving piles in Bulgaria about three months ago and have been enjoying delicious home-cooked meals, housing, mountainous river swimming, friendly indigenous spirits and lingual education ever since.))) The charm of the system we present, which we have termed pile migration to amplify confusion, is that one never knows what economic system will result from the act of moving piles. It is impossible to predict how the offspring economy of pile migration will manifest itself. The economy that results from pile migration will take on different sizes and different shapes for all the variable scales and resources that it encounters. The successor
