RalphsBagels: Boy'oh
BinBizzyWitShyt: ?
RalphsBagels: I have a request
RalphsBagels wants to directly connect.
BinBizzyWitShyt is now directly connected.
BinBizzyWitShyt: ok
RalphsBagels: That you read this conversation - when you have the time, of course - & tell me if you would view / contribute to a foreseeable future . .
BinBizzyWitShyt: okay
RalphsBagels: Baron Mynd, it's lengthy = /

Another conversation - - -

RalphsBagels: J self B (8:40:45 PM): I had an idea...a while ago. Remember Fight Club? The movie
RalphsBagels (8:42:06 PM): Yess
J self B (8:42:38 PM): An underground ring, - incredibly underground - world wide. Doing ' things '.
RalphsBagels (8:43:16 PM): yeshhhh
J self B (8:44:18 PM): No hurting people, no violence, no death, no explosions. But, politically motivated, world issue's at hand.
RalphsBagels (8:44:38 PM): Oh?
J self B (8:45:38 PM): Get the facts out there, on T.V., the internet. Wide-spread for everyone to notice. Things that just aren't right.
RalphsBagels (8:46:12 PM): Hm.
J self B (8:47:38 PM): I think it could be done, with the right people, the organization would grow of course. More activities, more people. More impact.
J self B (8:48:11 PM): I haven't given it much thought, but I think that if the right people did (give it much thought) then it could make an impact.
RalphsBagels (8:48:49 PM): & you would aim at keeping it fairly one-sided, somehow side-stepping any dangerous wings
J self B (8:49:59 PM): Violence takes things to far for this type of circumstance. It would tarnish the image and make our efforts pointless.
RalphsBagels (8:51:14 PM): & its 'views' would best permeate the audience through mass media ?
J self B (8:51:37 PM): Hopefully.
RalphsBagels (8:51:45 PM): As for funding?
J self B (8:52:05 PM): Personal pockets will be thus.
RalphsBagels (8:52:18 PM): WOOooowww
RalphsBagels (8:52:26 PM): Somebody must have some deep pockets
RalphsBagels (8:52:36 PM): & / or cargo pants
J self B (8:52:39 PM): haha.
J self B (8:53:09 PM): Not necessairly. If you have enough people, then those people can aquire objects for $0.
RalphsBagels (8:53:34 PM): Example?
J self B (8:54:35 PM): Hackers would be perfect. It is free, and if they're in support of our - cause - ...then wonderful
RalphsBagels (8:54:44 PM): Owwwww
J self B (8:55:06 PM): www.yahoo.com splattered with links to things that are wrong. How many would see that?
RalphsBagels (8:55:26 PM): Then, how would this resemble a non - violent organization when, from the get - go, it possessed a negative connotation via its intimidation
RalphsBagels (8:55:59 PM): & would the Yahoo attack act as a spring - board for phuture operations, or. . .?
J self B (8:57:02 PM): Intimidation is the key, but without actual brute force.
We will brance out. Actual things to be done, like outside of the web of the world.
RalphsBagels (8:57:37 PM): Aren't there existant operations?
J self B (8:57:50 PM): Futile.
J self B (8:58:21 PM): They follow the law. The ' law ' needs to be broken to make an impact.
RalphsBagels (8:58:34 PM): A solitary law, or. .
J self B (8:58:56 PM): explain?
RalphsBagels (8:59:08 PM): Why would the law need to be broken
RalphsBagels (8:59:38 PM): Might I suggest an undergound noo'spaper as a slightly more realistic effort
J self B (8:59:59 PM): When else does the oh so depressing media pay attention
J self B (9:00:03 PM): that would be good.
RalphsBagels (9:00:05 PM): With the time that we use on these Internet boards utilized for that ^, I think you could be successful
RalphsBagels (9:00:36 PM): Ohhh nooo, A MEDIA - Hater !?
J self B (9:01:02 PM): No No No.
J self B (9:01:10 PM): I want to use the media. Remember?
RalphsBagels (9:01:23 PM): Yesss, then : newspaper, underground, the
RalphsBagels (9:01:45 PM): You could even put one together now - & spam the sites that we visit now
J self B (9:01:50 PM): haha
RalphsBagels (9:01:53 PM): starting with the INTErnet routee
RalphsBagels (9:01:57 PM): Seeriously
J self B (9:02:09 PM): I was laughing at, hey, good idea.
RalphsBagels (9:02:15 PM): But , Iam not sold on your intentiiooonnsss
RalphsBagels (9:02:18 PM): maha
J self B (9:02:20 PM): haha
J self B (9:02:22 PM): ok.
J self B (9:02:27 PM): What would you like to talk about?
RalphsBagels (9:02:37 PM): ?! Egg zact lee
RalphsBagels (9:02:44 PM): What the hell do I have to expowes ?
J self B (9:03:02 PM): I have no intentions. I have nothing. I am in love, so I have no care on what's bad in the world
J self B (9:03:07 PM): John Malvo?
RalphsBagels (9:03:21 PM): MAHA !
RalphsBagels (9:03:28 PM): WISEN HEIMER
RalphsBagels (9:03:49 PM): Develop a web - site, and I'd write anything
RalphsBagels (9:04:05 PM): & get a core of supporters
J self B (9:04:58 PM): you have a lot to say?
RalphsBagels (9:05:37 PM): Gosh, I hate the idea of being one of these ' youth movements '
RalphsBagels (9:05:43 PM): , though. .
J self B (9:06:00 PM): would you like to stay still?
RalphsBagels (9:06:06 PM): yes
J self B (9:06:12 PM): as would I.
RalphsBagels (9:06:16 PM): Everyone turns out so damned fundamental - no cynics involved :-(
J self B (9:06:31 PM): so I really don't know why I bring up things like this.
RalphsBagels (9:06:34 PM): & either too depressing or too optimistic
J self B (9:06:52 PM): I have nothing say. The world is the world. I won't ever rebel.
RalphsBagels (9:06:59 PM): ?
RalphsBagels (9:07:07 PM): So , your idea will never be built
J self B (9:07:18 PM): I need someone to take the reign.
RalphsBagels (9:07:26 PM): Jay Self Bee
J self B (9:07:47 PM): "I am not the one." - the statement I live by.
RalphsBagels (9:07:59 PM): Then whoooom
J self B (9:08:26 PM): Anyone else
RalphsBagels (9:08:48 PM): >:oyyooooooo
J self B (9:09:27 PM): I'm sorry. I am not him. My only impact to be made upon the world will be my children.
J self B (9:09:38 PM): Maybe a book or two, or more. But they won't matter
RalphsBagels (9:10:05 PM): & you wouldn't even contribute to the effort ?
J self B (9:10:22 PM): I would start thee.

- - - - - End of that conversation

BinBizzyWitShyt: and what do you want me to predict?
RalphsBagels: Scratch predict, RalphsBagels: That you read this conversation - when you have the time, of course - & tell me if you would contribute to a foreseeable future . .
BinBizzyWitShyt: lol he talked to me about making an underground magazine....
BinBizzyWitShyt: letting people know about Underground Hip-Hop
RalphsBagels: = D
BinBizzyWitShyt: by underground magazine I mean a magazine about Underground Hip-Hop
RalphsBagels: El ohh eLLLLLLLLLL
RalphsBagels: & , does this particular project present any form of interest ? Or simply non - sense
BinBizzyWitShyt: but the way he talks he sounds like he is tryign to start a revolution
RalphsBagels: El oh el - I know.
RalphsBagels: My sentiment exactly
BinBizzyWitShyt: like knuckle up and bear arms
BinBizzyWitShyt: and write an article or two
RalphsBagels: Leading the charge w/ keyboard in hand, mouse in holster
BinBizzyWitShyt: lol
BinBizzyWitShyt: hard drive artillery
RalphsBagels: With the cable modem serving as our A - Bomb . GLORIOUS
BinBizzyWitShyt: lol
RalphsBagels: No interest ?
BinBizzyWitShyt: well....I'd be interested in informing the community about the Underground
BinBizzyWitShyt: and promoting artists that deserve the attention
RalphsBagels: I mean, I wonder if there is a happy median between full - on revolution & newsletter
RalphsBagels: probably, closer to the latter, though
BinBizzyWitShyt: lol
BinBizzyWitShyt: I mean if he is serious enough we could even start an online store
RalphsBagels: a la the Onion, I suppose
BinBizzyWitShyt: HipHopInfinity is closing...I'm sure we could purchase it
BinBizzyWitShyt: find a supplier and start taking orders
RalphsBagels: Hmm
BinBizzyWitShyt: and have the newsletter, provide reviews
RalphsBagels: But , with music being one facet of it?
RalphsBagels: Or being the main idea
BinBizzyWitShyt: well...wouldn't it have to be the main idea?
BinBizzyWitShyt: if the newsletter is about Underground Hip-Hop?
RalphsBagels: Being ' hip hop infinity? '
BinBizzyWitShyt: true
RalphsBagels: Well
BinBizzyWitShyt: well....it is a store....
BinBizzyWitShyt: breakdancing videos
RalphsBagels: I believe he is thinking of a news - letter that encompasses a lot of stuff
BinBizzyWitShyt: Skribble Jam
RalphsBagels: From poliitics to entertainment blah blahh
BinBizzyWitShyt: yeah....a revolution
BinBizzyWitShyt: hmmm
RalphsBagels: I don't think it necessarily has to be a revolution
RalphsBagels: We would just have to get a broad range of people to help us
BinBizzyWitShyt: right
RalphsBagels: Who are interested in lots of areas
RalphsBagels: Let me talk to a few other people, & see if they'd be interested. . Because, @ this point, I'm not sure if it's worth it.

varentao 02-08-04 10:12 PM

Heh. Very nice...

...chanting down Babylon with ya scary dance of 1s n 0s. Nice.

I've seen a fair few of these types of things. Believe it or not, a lot have come from the concept of Fight Club.

Most fail. Some survive. Few left make some waves. But not what they set out to achieve. Still, they do their part. While there is the odd one which'll take a life of it's own. But usually become something more 'darker' or 'rigid' than it set out to be. It's motives corrupted or diverted into something else. Sometimes keeping in touch with it's original 'manifesto', but not quite enough to do it 'proud'. Though then again, that depends on your perception and all that.

Oh, and believe it or not, the amount of ones inspired by Fight Club don't fail as dis-proportionalty as one may think.

Bigg E Z 02-08-04 10:12 PM

Lay down a rough manifesto. Not too short, not too long. Emphasis on rough. You know, to get things rolling in the 'recruitment drive'.

Trotsky had one. Hitler had one. Chairman Mao had one. The bleedin' Unabomber had one. So tis reccomended, see...

That's because you are tsar casm, or relick, or whatever. Keep freeposting, and you will be banned, even if self seems to claim you as his lil buddy.

The Necromancer 02-08-04 10:53 PM

So basicly... you're asking for someone... to build you the INTERNET? It's already been built.

Information? Try ANYWHERE. You can get ANY veiw of ANY sort of information at all.

There are librarys of information of all sorts. Try erowid.com or totse.com or even everything2.com

Eh? Are those basicly the kind of sites you're asking for?

No.

"Has this been done before?" - Yes
"What are we doing different from before?" - Fuck knows.
"What is your goal?" - Again, fuck knows. So far what I, and I hate using that word for this project because this is not a one person thing, but the goal as of now: To inform people.
"What is your point?" - We'll figure that out later. =)
"Are you planning on changing the world? - Hardly. If this can get one person, one single person to listen and nod, I personally will be happy.

So far the support already has been great, so basically my jobs done, I got people to think. Now I want people to think and help. Make other people think. The movie Pay It Forward comes to mind.


Why not jump on what everyone else has been doing?
Hmm. Maybe because no one ever wants to do that? If I jump on the bandwagon, would that not be just doing what we are talking about not liking? I believe so.

The website is in creation. Is it a cheap website? For now. Sorry, I don't have the money to fund myself shitting let alone anything else. If anyone is willing to put forth money, start a real website, please contact me: J Self B.

You don't need to be, I guess. If you need to know that much, forget it.

And it was edited, thank you.

varentao 02-08-04 11:32 PM

^So because he wants to know more, he should just forget it?

Er, surely a main trait of what you're meant to be going against?

I dunno, just seems reasonable for one to know more before getting into it. Unless you're looking for sheep...anyone Welsh?

I know i've said it before. But i think a short, rough manifesto is in order. Just a suggestion, like...

By the way, i do think it's a good idea of sorts. A bit 'pipe dream' like, but hey, as stated before, such things have come off in the past. Even if only to make a small wave or two which have displaced a few tuna fishes.

Well, OK then. But, I believe you are contradicting yourself a little bit then. You see, you are calling out to all the intelligent heads of RB, and are asking them to agree to something that is an unkown. Now, in my opinion, if you agree to something on such terms, you aren't very intelligent at all. If you disagree, I'd gladly like you to agree to sign a blank check and mail it to me. What am I going to use it for? If you have to know that much, forget it.

Maven 02-08-04 11:41 PM

Heres the rough idea of it all.
The Project is designed to inform people. Of what, you ask? Of what they need to know. To open their eyes to various points of view, to sift through all the bullshit that is force fed to us daily and tell the damn truth. To show opinions, to debate, to encourage people to explore different realms of thought. To experiment with what is accepted and what isn't. To help people to see things as more than just black and white.

A bit better Brandon?

Feeble Minded 02-08-04 11:42 PM

i think bruk means, that we are undecided as of yet, and it is up for discussion over there. "there", being the board that was created for it. which i think would be considered spamming if it was posted.

It's not. That is something completely different. A different magazine. It got intertwined with this, sorry. But it has nothing to do with The Project.

Such an amazing name. :rolleyes:

The Necromancer 02-09-04 12:34 AM

For the most part... at least with my understanding... this isn't a bad idea and I am down with it.

However... instead of just making a boring website full of information probably no one will go out of their way to look at...

...let's make it into a rap album where we become the CNN of the Hip-Hop world. Y'know, unless someone like Public Enemy beats us to it.

(What I find amazing is I say I'd be down with this, yet I have so much to say against it. I find this peculiuar to say the least.)
