(2005-04-21) Rushkoff Reality Subversion

Douglas Rushkoff sees the Real World as the ultimate Subversive space. We can take charge of the real reality they left behind; I mean the world we're actually living in. The yards and streets and fingers and tongues. Let's build Bicycle lanes and barbecues, After School programs and AIDS care networks, places to play music and playgrounds for kids. They're so busy monitoring the airwaves for signs of treason against the market or state that they've lost track of what's happening between real people. Turn off your cell phone and speak to that guy sitting next to you on the bus. That's about the most subversive thing you could do. TAZ/Immediatism in action.
