nooculture

I am enjoying the term “overculture” at the moment, in the sense I enjoy gaining new insight into ways we can describe and de-participate from the mechanics of our oppression.

I value the opposing force of “counter-culture” but am wary of dichotomies like antagonist–protagonist, especially in the sense of individuals or even small communities opposing the amorphous and anonymous force of culture, the us/them approach where we get angry because They are fucking everything up with Their greed … who is They in our counter-cultural tirades?

There is conflict inherent in the dominant connotations of counter-culture.

So I’m playing with the idea of nooculture, after Teilhard de Chardin’s idea of the noosphere.

Dig it?
