What does Grant Morrison expect Barbelith to evolve into?

I think the annoying thing about the whole interaction with Grant for me is that I don't think he's really explored practically the implications of having a thousand people interested in exploring or pushing the boundaries of interaction and expression online - mostly keen to make or do something creative or extreme. I've always hoped he'd feed some input in because I always hoped that he might be the person to help define the next X amount of years of creative thought and organisation.

I suppose, as a kind of weird shaman futurologist I hoped he'd be able to gesture in a variety of directions which we could then investigate and take up / ignore / refute / prove...

In fact the stuff I've been happiest with recently is the wiki! That was tremendously creative and I don't know why we didn't do something like it yeras ago! A complete FAQ assembled in a couple of days by creative work from a ramdon collective of people. I like that a lot...

As Dave Allen said to the Pope: "If you don't play the game, don't make the rules."

Glassing the cats could refer to simply turning the cats into glass with the use of magick or highly advanced science developed in the Lab.

We could then break the fuckers over the bar and hit him with them. Which would be infinitely more cruel.

It's about ten to five in the Barbemorn, the last post was about half an hour ago.

Does Barbelith sleep?

Or, OR! dipping a cat into a vat of molten glass, pulling it out and waiting for it to harden. Whumph - a big meeowing ornament.

It would have to be a super cat, though.

I guess we're all just re-asking the question in different ways, so here's my vote for question to pursue:

What is Barbelith evolving out of? What is this place?

Why does it have to evolve anyway? Its a place where people come together and idea magick happens through communication. Barbelith is like a pub. Its really just a place. Its the people involved in it that are doing the evolving.

How have you changed from interacting with it?

yeah. it's like a pub.

Fantastic- do we get to do one of those "beginning of Secret Wars" things, where we all stand in a line and someone (I dunno, maybe Ganesh, or Flux) says "just in case anyone hasn't met, we'd better introduce ourselves" and then we do just that? That was my favourite piece of comic book realism EVER.

By the way... "I'm Stoatie. I drink booze and try not to. Sometimes I swear." (In case you couldn't tell, I was striking a cliched "stoatie" pose when I typed that.)

Yay! Tom as the Beyonder! (Only without the bad SWII weird Elvis/Michael Jackson/David Hasselhoff thing going on).

Jack, you have to explain yourself. Before your Barbelith Assemble post, the last post was Yawn's -- in Dec. 2002. What was your train of thought? I'm awed.

The ancestor spirits say that to ensure a good cannabis crop this year, we must offer up Grant Morrison as a sacrifice to the great water filtration device that our universe resides in.

What shall it be then? Wicker Man or Aztec old-school?

Aztec.

Let's do it! I'm sure he'll understand.

OK, the DC Sandman who can become sand and recently died or the Marvel one who recently had a bout with multiple personality disorder in a Sam Keith story?

Of course, if we do go through with the sacrifice, we need a really fab soundtrack to accompany the ritual. Any recommendations?
