Interview with RU Sirius







Interview with RU Sirius

Interview with RU Sirius 05/04/2004 03:17 PM

sirius BB buddy Ken Goffman (aka RU Sirius) was recently interviewed by a transhumanist magazine.

"I don't embrace any belief systems. I'm a fuzzy believer. I might say that I 95% believe that humans will achieve a lifespan beyond the current biological limits; I 50% believe that this will work out well on a social-political level; I 95% believe that we will get really precise control over our minds and moods; I 60% believe that the future of most of humanity is pretty well fucked; I 10% believe that something very much like the singularity will actually occur; I 1% believe that it will happen in my lifetime."
He also talks a bit about his new book, "Counterculture Through the Ages," due out in November. Friends who have read it tell me that it's a brilliant, even scholarly, work. RU's star is absolutely rising again. Link

christy Nerve is running an interview RU Sirius conducted with 1980s porn megastar and Boing Boing pal Christy Canyon. Christy's self-published memoir, Lights, Camera, Sex!, is a witty, engaging, and smart look inside the adult entertainment industry. It'll surprise you.
"At eighteen, I was too dumb to understand what victimization was. But even now, looking back on that day in 1984, I still don't think I was a victim. No gun was pointed at my head. I knew I could leave that porno set, and my dad would file a lawsuit. But I was hell-bent on being independent. And contrary to what the women's libbers of that era wanted to believe, the porn biz has made me so strong." Link

R.U. Sirius interviews Richard Metzger


R.U. Sirius interviews Richard Metzger 12/24/2003 01:24 PM
Boing Boing pal R.U. Sirius interviews Boing Boing pal Richard Metzger (Editor of Book of Lies: The Disinformation Guide to Magick and the Occult) in the latest issue of R.U.'s online magazine The NeoFiles:
"Most people have this assumption that magick is all about some kind of 'hocus pocus' or 'eye of newt, tongue of toad' thing or the sort of 'incense and affirmations' school of thought that a lot of New Agers and Wiccans are into. I don't see it that way. When I was a teenager, I read in one of the RE/Search books that a modern magician uses the tools of their time. It was Genesis P-Orridge, the rock star, who said that, and it made a major impression on me. He meant that a modern day "sorcerer" would employ video cameras, printing presses, television, electronic instruments, the Internet and so forth to work their magick and since so much of magick is about INTENT, then it stands to reason that something like the Internet can have magical uses. Advertising, too, is a magical act and so is PR, basically. Advertising allows these big corporations to create a desire in the center of your head that you should run out and buy things you don't need! That is magick, right? Right."

Dawn 2004 is an all-night music/performance event tomorrow (Tuesday) night in San Francisco in celebration of the Jewish holiday of Shavuout. It's $15 for the entire night of eclectic programming: Russel Simins from Jon Spencer Blues Explosion, Broun Fellinis, Heather Gold, DJ Polywog, and a host of other artists. At 10pm, I'm conducting a live interview with RU Sirius about his forthcoming book, Coun terculture Through the Ages. Please stop by if you can!
"RU Sirius (aka Ken Goffman) and David Pescovitz take a mind-expanding trip though history to uncover the common threads of counterculture that link biblical Abraham to the Socratics, the revolutionaries of the Enlightenment, the Yippies of the 1960s, and the hacktivists of today. Sirius will reveal how countercultures-- anti-authoritarian, changeable, antic movements that revolutionize mainstream culture--are a powerful and necessary catalyst for the continued evolution of the human species."
