Bob Dobbs, Holeopathic Retrievals, and Synchronistic Linguistics
Posted On : Mar / 31 / 2008
According
to Bob Dobbs everyone died in 1945, leaving behind a world of
"holeopathic retrievals." "Holeopathic," he explains, is a mixture
of "homeopathy" and "hologram." Homeopathy is a form of medical
treatment where the physician takes the essence of a substance and
dilutes it, the theory being that the tinier the dose the more
potent it is. A hologram is an artificial environment
indistinguishable from the reality upon which it's based. Dobbs
claims it was the implementation of what he calls "the solar
government" in 1945 that caused the disappearance of Earth's entire
population, who were then replaced with holograms. This means that
succeeding generations are mere holograms of holograms of
holograms, ad infinitum. The tinier the holograms, the more
realistic and engaging the artificial environment becomes, hence
the term "holeopathic retrieval." In order to break out of this
program, he claims we must become what he calls "menippean
satirists."
