The Role of the Wikid
January 11, 2008 |
It appears that the threat and incomprehension of the ‘new’ is not just a thing of our time. New fragments from the First Book of Madness reveal that it must have always been this way:
***
Within the Secutifs there were the special ones, the visionaries, those who had knowledge of the secret ways, whose role it was to listen into the Blogosphere, hear it speak and bring its teachings back into JISCWorld. These were called the Wikid. There were many in JISCWorld who neither understood the Wikid nor the strange messages they revealed. And it was said that even the Heftkey was troubled by their visions, disturbed by the new ways of being that the Wikid foretold, and unsettled least the rituals that had been laid down so many years ago might be blown away and the might of the Heftkey with them.
The Blogosphere was a strange oracle, a constantly changing and shifting being, that released an endless stream of messages, some promising great things, of freedom, of a new world, and others that even the Wikid struggled to make sense of and which of themselves seemed to be the utterances of a deranged collection of minds.
The Wikid would often go into a trance like state and employ the services of their own Blogs to become one with the Blogosphere and seek out the news that they believed would keep JISCWorld strong, protect it from its enemies, especially those in the Parterres:
From the First Book of Madness, chapter XXII, verses 35 – 46
‘And it is so, for it is the purpose of the Wikid to join with the Blogosphere and open themselves up to the perils of the ether, and harvest the new truth from wherever so they may find it, and bring it back to JISCWorld. The Wikid are subject to the wrath and the mocking of the Twitters who only seek to confuse and befuddle, but it is the Wikid who must divine the good truth, and make it acceptable to the Reidmeister, even though they may incur his displeasure and be for ever called the TeckieGeek. The Wikid know their place and toil with their Peecee’s and their Mobbies and their other arcane tools in perpectual search of the new truth’
