-//In the bedroom next to the architect table (40 years ago, a friend was cleaning up a house and the owner, the writer Hugo Claus, wanted to get rid of it, the pedal to raise the desk doesn't work anymore and one day all the oil ran out) there is a box full of notes, from the last months only. The notes are moslty written on old envelopes, the backs of receipts, commercial flyers they still drop in the mailbox (for instance when they are selling chicken in the village). In the attic there are many more boxes, full of notes from the last 40 years. Many boxes disappeared. That happens when you are moving across Europe too much and too far. What is left, including the box next to Claus' table, will probably never be read. Today we are having apps to make notes, on phones, tablets and computers. Much easier to combine with pictures, recordings, spoken and sung by others, or just sound happening around, plans and schemes, drawings, etc and now I became a writer like everyone just endlessly and at every moment of the day creating data //+//In the bedroom next to the architect table (40 years ago, a friend was cleaning up a house and the owner, the writer Hugo Claus, wanted to get rid of it, the pedal to raise the desk didn't work anymore and one day all the oil ran out) there is a box full of notes, from the last months only.

 +28. **The radical Left around 1980**
 +
 +   they were right about the capitalist intentions
 +   the breakdown of social security
 +   the privatisation of all 
 +   the arts education pension funds health care transport etc...
 +   the end of the autonomy of science
 +   what's next to come? 
 +
 +29. **Song for the people we lost this year and for the people who felt lost too**
 +
 +   the only thing left to do is
 +   sit outside and cry together
 +   it is the end of song itself
 +   there is no music when
 +   there is only crying left
 +   and what's the weather like 
 +   tomorrow
 +
 +30. **The accident**
 +
 +   it happened some years ago and don't know how
 +   amnesia set in so don't ask the details
 +   a double salto and lying on the road upside down
 +   since then at any moment an emotional reaction occurs
 +   never happened before or maybe these things
 +   were not remembered either or were just indifferent
 +   but also something else seems to have changed in 
 +   relationships towards others and getting annoyed with
 +   stabilizing repetitions in habit formation there
 +   or maybe, it is time going by and we were just 
 +   in general fed up with society's fixation on preservation 
 +   and control, with a constantly decreasing dynamism
 +   instead of a new climate of laissez faire, and openness
 +   but, then it has nothing to do with the accident
 +   and we don't have to remake Marinetti's car crash 
 +   and never write any manifesto any more
 +   
 +31. **Where are the ideologies?**
 +
 +   maybe political divisions as we see them emerge throughout the world
 +   are not to be understood in old ideological terms like right vs. left
 +   maybe these are new expressions of dynamical pragmatic visions 
 +   attempting to control the distribution of power, industrial resources, media, etc 
 +   and align them with the new constructions of mythological etnicity and nationalism? 
 +   
 +   they can only be satisfactory of all of them are in the middle, 
 +   and no opposition to this contradictory monolith is possible anymore
 +   (how else can socialists march with nationalists with liberals and the green?)
 +
 +32. **Writing**
 +   
 +   don't try to rewrite or rephrase history from your own position
 +   there is a fair chance you are talking next to the point
 +
 +33. **Air**
 +
 +   hold your breath
 +   but not for too long
 +   or it gets
 +   pathetic
 +   
 +34. **The Fool**
 +
 +   to label, to number, to list up
 +   is already like giving in to the domination
 +   of logical hierarchies, causality
 +   and the reversal of purpose and means
 +   (Oh! what a fool I am!)
