We at the Marcel Maus Hermeneutical Think Tank believe the only way to avoid catastrophy is to practice limitrophy.
But the MMHTT is committed to far more than just avoiding catastrophy. We are not an organization committed to only saying no, we are an organization committed to saying mostly yes.
We say yes to the coming of ART. We say yes to building radical gift economies where gifted-giving becomes so pervasive that all becomes all, all becomes the Gift, all becomes ART (which is the luminous afterlife of art after the end of art). We at the MMHTT labor to create the necessary preconditions for the coming of ART, which will not just stave off catastrophy but will bring forth the second great singularity event: a massive contraction that ushers in a gentle death that crucially leads to new life on the other side. This is not an 'other side' based on a notion of transcendent heaven where lions lay down with lambs. It is an 'other side' that is an inverse side, submerged far below the surface of the deep, where one is not quite sure where the lion ends and the lamb begins. This is the Peaceable Kingdo(o)m, a kingdom with no king nor doom, where edges are always soft and love freely permeates. This is a peaceable kingdo(o)m where peace has driven king and doom out of town with their shirts and expired debit cards in their hands.
All in all, forever and ever, AMEN.
