WakeIndra is a fascinating concept that merges elements of literature, media ecology, and political intrigue. Let's delve into its origins and significance:

  • Finnegans Wake:

    • The name WakeIndra draws inspiration from James Joyce's enigmatic work, Finnegans Wake. Published from 1927 onward, this novel is a labyrinth of language, myth, and symbolism. It defies conventional narrative structures and invites readers to explore the depths of their own consciousness.

    • Finnegans Wake serves as an ideal basis for media ecology study and comparative mythology. Its intricate web of interconnected themes mirrors the complexity of our interconnected digital world.

  • Marshall McLuhan:

    • Canadian professor Marshall McLuhan is a central figure in understanding WakeIndra. His 1968 book, "War and Peace in the Global Village", delves into the impact of media technology on human perception and communication.

    • McLuhan's exploration of Finnegans Wake within the context of the global village provides a lens through which we can view WakeIndra's significance.

  • Vladislav Surkov:

    • Adam Curtis, a BBC filmmaker, sheds light on the concept of WakeIndra by examining the tactics of Vladislav Surkov, an influential figure in Russian politics.

    • Surkov, an adviser to President Putin, operates in a unique way. He blends ideas from conceptual art into the heart of politics. His goal is to sow confusion, making it impossible for people to discern reality from illusion.

    • Surkov sponsors diverse groups, from neo-Nazi skinheads to liberal human rights advocates, creating a constantly shifting political theater. By doing so, he keeps opposition perpetually bewildered.

    • His strategy is akin to a ceaseless shape-shifting, rendering it undefinable and unstoppable. This approach mirrors the alleged tactics he employed during the Ukrainian conflict.

In summary, WakeIndra weaves together literature, media theory, and political manipulation, inviting us to question the boundaries of reality and perception. It's a fascinating intersection where art, politics, and the digital age collide. 🌟

Mr. X was Carl Sagan, April 20 every year, please help originate a new Science Holiday / Party Day / Festival Day! Pale Blue Dot Day

 

March 21, 1938 is believed by some to be the day that the Finnegans Wake story in Dublin Ireland takes place.

“One great part of every human existence is passed in a state which cannot be rendered sensible by the use of wideawake language, cutanddry grammar and goahead plot.” ― James Joyce

“There is something at the bottom of every new human thought, every thought of genius, or even every earnest thought that springs up in any brain, which can never be communicated to others, even if one were to write volumes about it and were explaining one's idea for thirty-five years; there's something left which cannot be induced to emerge from your brain, and remains with you forever; and with it you will die, without communicating to anyone perhaps the most important of your ideas.” ― Fyodor Dostoevsky, The Idiot

"This intricate psychological game was the invention of Sefton Delmer, a largely forgotten genius of propaganda. As Director of Special Operations at the British Political Warfare Executive, he ran dozens of such covert stations across occupied Europe in many languages, working with a troupe of artists, academics, spies, soldiers, psychiatrists, and forgers. Refugees from Berlin’s cabaret scene acted and wrote the scripts of radio shows. Ian Fleming, the creator of James Bond, enabled Delmer. Many of Delmer’s most important collaborators were Jewish refugees from Nazi Germany pretending to be Nazis in order to subvert Nazi propaganda from inside, dressing up as their own torturers in order to take revenge. Delmer’s experiences has much to teach us—good and ill—about how to win information wars today. But to appreciate how he came up with a form of propaganda that involved both broadcaster and audience playing such a curious masquerade, we need to understand his past, and what it tells us about propaganda in the first place."

'Church of the Immaculate Conception' also known as Adam and Eve's is a Roman Catholic church run by the Franciscans and it is located on Merchants Quay, Dublin.

 

Opening sentence of James Joyce's Finnegans Wake:
'riverrun, past Eve and Adam's, from swerve of shore to bend of bay, brings us by a commodious vicus of recirculation back to Howth Castle and Environs.”

 

"You Lucky One" song lyrics:

You've been off the grid; cutting your teeth
Supposedly composing your masterpiece
If you give good copy then I'll cut you some slack
But you better remember when it all comes back
And you're lying on the corner of Merchant's Quay
Telling the world how it's meant to be
Well I'll pick you up and I'll take you on
I promise you, you lucky one

 

These lyrics also seem relevant of metaphors of Wake:

Take me back to the start, before the lot
Were you always aware of the gift you've got?
Were you wandering lost outside of the norm?
Am I getting the gist? Am I getting warm?

"I can tell by your tone that you're telling the truth, but it doesn't line up with my image of you"
"there is a twist in your tale/tail that doesn't sit right"

In reference to Carl Sagan's 1990 "Pale Blue Dot"...

“What Discoveries they may have made in the other and greater Worlds, than this Earth, we have not yet had an account; possibly they are conversant with other Parts of God’s Creation, besides this little little Globe, which is but as a Point in comparison of the Rest; and with other of God’s Creatures besides Man, who may, according to the Opinion of our Philosophers, inhabit those Worlds; but as no body knows that Part but the Devil, we shall not trouble our selves with the Enquiry.” ― Daniel Defoe, The History of the Devil, as Well Ancient as Modern: In Two Parts, 1726

"Британские учёные из Cambridge Analytica предложили сделать из 5 тысяч существующих человеческих психотипов - "идеальный образ" возможного сторонника Трампа. Затем.. положить этот образ обратно на всё психотипы и таким образом подобрать универсальный ключик к любому и каждому." - Konstantin Rykov

The West Is Still Oblivious to Russia's Information War. For Putin’s Russia, “information-psychological warfare”—as a Russian military textbook calls it—is intended to “erode the morale and psychological spirit”

That's the attitude. That's the prevailing attitude in our culture. No matter what you do, just do it with a bit of finesse. You know, a sort of attitude of the survival of the slickest. Not the Darwinian survival of the fittest, but the survival of the slickest — whoever can be the slickest is the one who right. It's all right to lie, but lie with dignity. ... It's all right to steal and to rob and extort, but do it with a bit of finesse. It's even all right to hate, but just dress your hate up in the garments of love and make it appear that you are loving when you are actually hating. Just get by! That's the thing that's right according to this new ethic. My friends, that attitude is destroying the soul of our culture! It's destroying our nation! The thing that we need in the world today is a group of men and women who will stand up for right and to be opposed to wrong, wherever it is.
