Conspiracy, one is tempted to say, is the poor person’s cognitive mapping in the postmodern age; it is the degraded figure of the total logic of late capital, a desperate attempt to represent the latter’s system, whose failure is marked by its slippage into sheer theme and content.

The interest of the panorama is in seeing the true city—the city indoors. What stands within the windowless house is the true. Moreover, the arcade, too, is a windowless house. The windows that look down on it are like loges from which one gazes into its interior, but one cannot see out these windows to anything outside. (What is true has no windows; nowhere does the true look out to the universe.)

As such, the conspiratorial subject is not a product of conspiracy but a product of the postmodern global society he or she is trying to map through the medium of conspiracy. The conspiratorial subject represents a postmodern self incapable of critical distance, the result of which is a self-reflexive subjectivity that is itself a reproduction of postmodern culture.

Reading on a phone is a nervous twitch but reading a physical book is an act of defiance. We have traded depth for convenience and we are losing our minds in the process.

A real book in hand?

How the stage works:

Team Trump knows there will be an assassination attempt, the approximate caliber that will be used, and the approximate line of fire, but not who will be the shooter, nor the exact date. They know that after certain events occur, an assassination will be ordered.

The tragedy today is that we really don’t have a basic cognitive mapping.  I don’t think we have here a clear insight into where we stand, where we are moving, and so on and so on.

Crowd-sourced cognitive mapping: A new way of displaying people’s cognitive perception of urban space co-authored by JANG Kee Moon and KIM Youngchul is published in PLoS ONE, Volume 14, No. 6: e0218590

By utilizing cognitive mapping and leveraging georeferenced text data, Mr. Jang and Prof. Kim proposed a new visualization method to illustrate urban identity. By using the proposed method, new town cities in Korea are examined.
