Renaming challenge

[LMNO]

Ok, the fact that "Black Iron Prison" is a PKD ripoff has come up a few times, so I hereby announce a challenge:


Please come up with a new name for the BIP metaphor.  Hopefully, one that can still use the original essays with only minor edits.



Go.

what about something to do with a pen
you know where you keep captive animals

[Cain]

I'm sticking with Reconstruction.

[LMNO]

How about "Re-Constriction"?

[hunter s.durden]

Reconstruction makes me think of postwar efforts to rebuild.

You tell me if that's good or bad...

[LMNO]

With "Reconstriction", I was thinking you're still in a cell, but you can define the restraints.  Also, I misspelled "Reconstuction," and liked the almost pun, of the concept being about "I" and not "U".





I hate myself.

Window on Reality (filter)

Reality Canvas (artist/viewer)

Actual Reality (spin on virtual)

The Mirror (says it all but not directly)

The Garden of Egon - (base it round a cartoon character)

Brainstorm is all about triggering ideas - these are all dumb but hopefully it'll twig something in another couple of heads.

something to do with

- lock picking
- kicking doors off the hinges
- jail breaks
- slipping out the back door
- not digging deep enough
- life in general
- living in a waiting room
- being generally subversive

I think Black Iron Prison is not only appropriate, but makes the concept easier to grasp at the outset for someone who's just discovered the idea.

and if you're gonna rip off someone else's term, PKD isn't a bad choice.

[LHX]

Black Iron Prison was a good name for that booklet


but i cant see something being produced regularly called 'Black Iron Prison'

[LMNO]

You're conflating, LHX.

This thread is for renaming the BIP.

The other one is for naming a publication.


And I'm starting to agree with ECH.

[LHX]

oops


what is it called when soldiers are stuck on the front line?


are they in barracks? trenches?

[LMNO]

Trenches.

[LHX]

maybe we should just take the Black Iron part out of it

[LMNO]

THE PRISON,Ñ¢.



Not bad.
