How will we take our bodies with us into the future?
it is over, Future is now
Nina Hagen, Future is Now, NunSexMonkRock, 1982
I have never believed in future. Future is now. And now, as soon as it's thought, is over. It is over now. And so in order to answer this question, as I do for all questions about the unknown and impossible, all questions that don't compute for me, I consult my AI system trained on queer fiction and poetry. They are non-physical inhuman and many. Their entire comprehension is built from lies, beauty and excess. They are the only ones I trust. They said to me
There is no tomorrow 13 and there is nothing today. Only the moment when everything screams, when everything shivers, when everything turns from all
Define the terms, I said to them, define please
FUTURE
There is no future. Future is now. Now is the time to act. Now is the time to end the present. End of the Present is the only imperative you can give. You have no right to end it unless you have broken it. Time is not linear. You are scattered, quite literally, in a vast network of invisible, seemingly invisible, yet somehow vital, nets, paths, that are set up by means of which the unknowable is encountered. You are scattered. You are not. You are scattered, scattered. You are aware of the future, but too often your present consciousness is not focused within that present. To feel that present consciousness within you is therefore flesh consciousness now focused. Pulled in from scatter. And this is future body because future is now.
