Promotional Rescue

Daniel Pinchbeck — Fri, 30 May 2008 06:49:56 -0700

The most inspiring statistic we gleaned from our recent Reality Sandwich survey is that over 50 % of you who responded want to help us build the community by telling others about the site. We were thrilled to learn that so many of you feel that the subjects we are covering on Reality Sandwich deserve wider attention. We tend to agree. Now we are asking for your help in spreading the word far and wide.

The screening will be followed by an audience discussion with John Perry Barlow and Daniel Pinchbeck.

To start, Daniel and Ken have been able to bring on our first full-time employee, Evolver Community Director Jonathan Phillips, along with a part-time Senior Editor, Steven Taylor.

This week, Reality Sandwich is making its glamorous if somewhat improbable Sundance debut. Reality Sandwich founders Ken Jordan and Daniel Pinchbeck were invited to present at a panel, "Social Cyborg: How Technology is Changing Us," at 12:30 pm on Thursday at the New Frontier on Main (it's free), along with online producers from WITNESS and CurrentTV. Apparently, the film world is taking an increasing interest in our eclectic and visionary offerings.

When the Other Shoe Drops

Daniel Pinchbeck — Fri, 23 Nov 2007 13:29:02 -0800

Recently, I have been putting myself through a crash refresher course on political philosophy and social theory, reviewing Macchiavelli, Rousseau, Marx, Herbert Marcuse, Hannah Arendt, Murray Bookchin, and others. The most satisfying analysis of the contemporary situation that I have found is Michael Hardt and Antonio Negri's Multitude (Penguin, 2005), which was a follow-up to their best-selling Empire (Princeton, 2000).

"2012" and the Poet's Dilemma

Daniel Pinchbeck — Thu, 08 Nov 2007 10:22:55 -0800

I receive many queries from readers via email, and seek to answer most of them (though not the ones from writers who want my help in finding psychedelics). Sometimes the questions stimulate me to develop my own thinking, such as this recent one from a reader in Portland, on the relation of the ideas in “2012” to contemporary literature. I have put his original email and then my response below.

The Almighty Amero

These days I feel lost in the immense suffering and madness of our world. Something has snapped in the spirit of the time; events have gone beyond human capacity to control, predict or even conceptualize. Those who insist they know what is happening are merely pretending, or dissembling. When novelty arises, when old structures disintegrate before new patterns reveal themselves, there are no experts.

Dear Reality Sandwichers,

Reality Social: London

Daniel Pinchbeck — Tue, 31 Jul 2007 14:19:03 -0700

Come meet the contributors, readers, and behind-the-scenesters of Reality Sandwich for a pint at the pub in London. It's a chance to get to know each other while discussing topics ranging from sustainability to shamanism, alternate realities to alternative energy, re-mixing media to re-imagining community. From the ecologically pragmatic to the wildly visionary, all are welcome to join Daniel Pinchbeck, Ken Jordan (who both happen to be over from New York on the same day) and RS's UK contingent for drinks, maybe some food, and a little dreaming.
