Born in Flames is a 1983 American utopian/dystopian  docufiction  drama film directed, produced and co-written by radical intersectional feminist Lizzie Borden. The film explores racism,  classism, sexism and  heterosexism in an alternate socialist democratic United States. The title comes from the Red Krayola  song "Born in Flames" released in 1980, which was inspired by a 1929 Soviet silent film of the same name. The song appears in the film and was written by frontman Mayo Thompson with the  conceptual art group Art & Language. Born in Flames - Wikipedia

Here is a clip from the movie that particularly impacted me:

You revisit the remains of your quaint rural hive. Your lawnring and the small excavation sites you dug up for practice are all overgrown with vegetation.

We can see the bones of Aradia’s original personality, but the page that should have introduced it has long since rotted away - along with her poor Guardian. This girl really got the short end of the stick.

It also means she’s probably the one who’s not prototyping her lusus. I did wonder why she was piloting the frog head - she can fly unassisted, after all - and I think it’s about to be the lynchpin of a very clever plan. 

Derse hates frogs, so what would they do if one went in the Kernel? 

You haven't been here since the night of the accident. On that night you found your CALLING. [...] You left so abruptly, you didn't even have time to bury your lusus.

Aradia’s ‘calling’ was more destructive than I thought. This is probably another FLARPing accident, so maybe her FLARP hardware malfunctioned, destroying her house? 

You have an arrangement to begin the session as co-leader with one of the blue bloods. You understand this player intends to make a power grab, and take sole possession of the leadership role. Such subterfuge is typical of their caste.

AG thinks she’s slick, but she’s really one of the most predictable trolls of all. It doesn’t make her any less dangerous, but it does mean you can probably avoid making yourself her target, if you know how she works.

Aradia however, doesn’t care either way. AG’s machinations are irrelevant to the plan she’s carrying out. 

Prototyping with the frog head before entering the Medium would prove to be critical for later success.

Whose success are we talking about, here? The trolls, or the Voices?

Perhaps, for now, their goals align. We know the trolls will win, but fall at the last hurdle. The Voices are helping the trolls get to that hurdle, so that they can fail the way they’re supposed to. 

Honestly, it would seem to me that a frog is one of the best things you could possibly put in your Kernel. It’s one of the only things that will affect Prospit and Derse in different ways, giving Derse a clear disadvantage. From now on, all Dersites will be disgusted with themselves, tipping the scales in the trolls’ favor. 

Gli esseri umani hanno creato una società che consuma tutto il loro tempo, le loro energie, la loro vita.

Non rimangono spazi di tempo libero per imparare e così la vita diventa meccanica e quasi senza senso.

Dobbiamo essere molto chiari sul significato dell'espressione “tempo libero”: un tempo, un periodo in cui la mente non sia occupata da nulla.

È il tempo dell'osservazione.

Soltanto una mente non occupata è in grado di osservarla.
