Doubt

Doubt gets things started.

Should the institute be called an ‘institute’, and what are the names and language of a truly open and inclusive organization?

Should it be a song or a performance rather than an institute?  Or is ‘institute’ a valuable concept of gathering, organization, and process? Is there anything else it could be?

What is already wrong here, and what else could go wrong?

The IMIR wants to be imaginary, but not solipsistic.  It wants to be an imaginary institute for gathering a real collective for the purpose of imagining it together. To achieve this, it needs to communicate, and the internet is currently its vehicle.  It is already exclusive by virtue of this limitation. How else could it communicate? How do you imagine a venue for an imaginary institute?

This is a short entry, but it seems already to pose enough hefty questions.
