Well, it has been a long time. many changes have occured in my existence since thee last time i edited a TRANSMISSION. when TRANSMISSION 0.75 came out in November of 1990, i had no idea what changes and growth were in store, both for me and thee Temple. i am pleased that TOPY has been there for me during this time. i hope i can always be around in the future when thee Temple needs my help. i'd also like to thank C131 for keeping TRANSMISSIONS alive, thru my periods of net drought and other times. i hope i can help return the favor, and keep the output up to the same standard. there are other changes that would have been out of the realm of possibilty just a few months ago: * TOPY will have its own Internet site by next months TRANSMISSION. * TOPY will open more Action Points in 1994 than ever before. * more TOPY material will be available online. * TOPY will begin to take a more public role in sharing it tenets. Many of these changes are directly possible because of the evolution that TOPY has had to undergo after the decision to seperate our activities from the activities of Psychic TV. In retrospect, thee Network can see that that decision, however hard it was, was the right one! 1994 is the year that TOPY "comes of age". Psychick Youth, all grown up! stay tuned....

The naming of an Age is not something to be taken lightly, after all, and if we wait too long we will eventually lose the right to name our new Age ourselves, leaving the task to some post-historic nerd who has no real feel for just what it is that makes us tick. It is important that we name our Age now, while it is fresh and clear in our minds. We give names to Ages in history on the basis of some characteristic which, from our point of view, is a significant and central aspect of a culture. The name should be short and convenient, and should evoke an immediate image of what the times were like, while carrying a specific and unique flavor that distinguishes this Age from all others. It is also important to note that Ages have been coming closer and closer together lately -- the Industrial Age, the Atomic Age, the Space Age, the Electronic Age, the Computer Age, the Information Age, all rushing down on us in a hailstorm of historical importance until they overlap and blur together like the pages of a cartoon flipbook. Our new Age should have a name that is truly distinctive, that sets it apart from mere technological labels and touches the core of our place in cultural history. A name that immediately identifies the essence of who and what we are. Bearing all of this in mind, I suggest that we christen our new Age 'The T-Shirt Age.' Before you scoff and sneer, consider the evidence. What specific aspect of our culture could better represent who we are as a people, our tastes, our art, our politics, our world view, our philosophy? You may think that the T-Shirt is a trite and banal image, undignified and unfit for the grand purpose of identifying an entire Age of history. And perhaps it is trite. But do not dismiss it out of hand solely for that reason. Think of the symbolism here. The very nature of the T-shirt illustrates our place in history with eloquence. It represents our penchant for off-the-rack, mass-produced, interchangeable personalities, slipped on easily and worn with smug arrogance. Who we are is encapsulated in our T-shirts, whether plain and bland or adorned with caricatures, aphorisms, profanity or meaningless patterns. We have no need to develop complexities of soul and mind; our views on any subject can be stated in a cartoon and a caption, emblazoned on our proud, out-thrust chests. Our politics and ways of life are slogans and jingoisms of twelve words or less: if it can't be read on a T-shirt from across the room, it's too complex to bother with. The ever popular 'Shit Happens' T-shirt is a poetically concise, eloquent expression of our apathetic indifference to the constant slings and arrows of our outrageous world, and our firm belief that there's nothing we can do about it anyway. Our infatuation with amusing ourselves and our adoration of entertainers -- actors, rock groups, sports figures, religious and political leaders -- are epitomized by the T-shirt. We strut our likes and dislikes publicly and uninvited, advising all who cross our paths that we love Hulk Hogan and Freddy Kreuger, Axel Rose or Vanna White, Jimmy Swaggart, Ronald McDonald, or Hot Babes With Bodacious Hooters. The T-shirt crosses all social lines. Everyone wears them, from factory worker to clergyman to teenager to executive. The one-sizefits-all mentality is the perfect representation of our homogeneity, our distaste for individuality, our distrust of anything different, and our passion for imposing equality at the expense of excellence. T-shirts know no boundaries. Age, occupation, economic status, race, gender, physical condition: T-shirts are the same for everyone. T-shirts are fashionably informal, and we are a culture obsessed with fashion and disdainful of formality. We wear them to work, to play, to church and to socialize, to make an impression and to make love. They're universally accepted, and acceptance is of paramount importance to us. We are a wash-n-wear culture, a society on the go, in love with convenience. You can change from your work T-shirt to your tennis T-shirt to your going-out-to-dinner T-shirt without losing more than a moment of your valuable time. The T-shirt requires virtually no care or attention. They do wear out periodically, but then, so do our ideals, and you can pick up new ones at any drug store or corner gas mart. They're cheap, easy, disposable; simply toss them aside and don another. It'll stretch to fit anything, giving it some resemblance to our belief in political speeches and the national debt. So despite the misgivings you may have had, you can surely see that the T-shirt is a remarkably appropriate emblem for our Age. One might even say it suits us to a T. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ a 3E Electronic Publication This is copyright (C)1994 by Thee Temple ov Psychick Youth North America and individual authors Reproduce at will! please credit authors! don't sell! transmit yourself!
