Airwaves
In the 50’s airwaves hit the mainstream without headphones. We lived in North America without the pretension of actually knowing something contrary to ones’ belief. During this time we saw the Korean War and the Cuban missile crisis a few years later. In the Eighties we saw the advent of ‘the Walkman’ and many people wore headphones to fight their thoughts. Fighting ones’ thoughts outside ones’ reality is paramount to conflict. ‘When the appearance of conflict, meets the appearance of force.’ *
Today, in most North American’ Cities, people wear headphones, or hearing aids, with uncommon frequency. This is essentially defining what one thinks, or makes thought an ambiguity. The quantification of thought will always be undefined for this reason. To a musician this is known as pitch bend. This is why Bob Marley wrote ‘Have no fear for atomic energy, for none of them can stop-a-the time.’ ‘All Dogs go to Heaven’ was filmed on this premise. What would have happened if Iran was a friend of Iraq and a friend of the U.S.A (likewise Iraq), at the same time. This would mean that there was no conflict to begin with. A dictionary is of such lessons; ambiguous interpretations of context. The definition of synonym has roughly 50 meanings, each unique to different circumstances of context.
