Perhaps you want to vent about your first world problems, unless you're in a Communist country, in which case you vent about your second world problems. Unless you're in an unaligned developing country, in which case you bitch about your third world problems. Unless you're a hunter-gatherer nomad outside the realm of nation-states, in which case you bitch about your fourth world problems. Or perhaps you are a Lovecraftian cosmic entity from a sci-fi alternate dimension; then, you complain about your fifth world problems. But that's only if you're from the future -- monsters from the past complain about their fantasy world problems.. Humans from the past complain about ancient world problems. Unless you're really from the past, then you just talk about your prehistoric first world problems or your mesozoic world problems. And if none of the above is a problem for you, you're probably the type of fellow to suffer from time travel problems.

Andrew Clay Silverstein called himself the "Diceman", but he wasn't the original. That honor belongs to George Cockcroft who, under the pseudonym Luke Rhinehart, wrote the 1970 novel The Dice Man. It's a fictional account of the life of a New York psychiatrist, also named Luke Rhinehart, who suddenly chooses to shake up his staid, prosaic life by giving over all his decisions to the literal roll of the die. The book was based on the author's real experiences of living randomly beginning in his teenage years, and it sparked a movement that continues today in various serious and not-so-serious forms.

Burroughs and Phillip K. Dick paperbacks are as dog-eared as my own. Expanding from the verbal into the pictorial, Aylett is now working on an animated TV series described by one reviewer as what Tex Avery would have come up with if he'd been reading Rip Off comix.

The Goth subculture is perhaps the least understood of any pop subculture. Their origins are in dispute, but it's generally accepted that the movement is born of the post-punk movement among aficionados of bands like Bauhaus and Joy Division. They are often on the receiving end of ridicule and scorn. The situation isn't helped by the fact that, even when lent an understanding eye, Goths manage to make a mockery of themselves.

The do-it-yourself industrial project narrative: some tinkerer decides to take something that's normally the domain of heavy industry and build a smaller version in their basement or backyard. They normally end up learning something, but more importantly, by homebuilding something industrial, they seem to grab just a little bit of that heavy industry power for themselves. The web is full of stories of home foundries, and hobbyist gas turbines among others, and a trip to the bookstore will net you this fine tale of siege weapon manufacture.

I went to Ad*Access because I thought a large, searchable archive of American advertising from between 1911 and 1955 would be interesting. However, what the provider of that link failed to do was link to the larger insitution of which this is a part, Duke University's Scriptorium which contains all manner of other interesting cultural and historical documents, including an archive of scanned Egyptian papyrus, the dairy of George Percival Scriven who was an American Army signal officer stationed in the Phillipines from 1899 to 1901, and the life story of Elizabeth Johnson Harris, a black woman born in 1867.

Tribal societies like the Hopi Indians avoided the inherent problems of a law-enforcement class because accountability was built-in to their social structure; you interacted with the same hundred or so people your entire life, so you knew there would be consequences for inappropriate behavior.
