SW\/ON #4
As you probably understood, this 4th issue of SW\/ON zine
is about delusions and errors. Although you can find
mistakes and delusions in our other publications, this issue
is particularly devoted to delusions and errors. The reason
for this is that both the human and the machine are
characterized as being fallible. It is programmed in our
gens. And somehow we convey it not only to our children,
but also for anyone and anything that is touched by our
hands and our minds. Don't get angry for being fallible. It
won't help.\r\r
But why there are delusions, you may ask. Itā€™s because
we believe that the reality without delusion is just an
illusion. Everything breaks and erodes, but still we create a
brilliant future with synthetic happiness and love. We live in
a world where common sense is often perceived as delirium
and error of errors. And that's why this edition is
specifically dedicated to this phenomenon.
