The Accidental Man

How much of life is an accident? How much of me is simply random chance masquerading as the carefully orchestrated influence of environment?---

Of course, we have to beleive our environments are carefully orchestrated, or anarchy would ensue.---

The most formative and meaningful experiences in life are so often the accidental ones; we can't choose our families, where or how we fall in love, the day we're born or the day we die, we can't plan inspiration or radical shifts in perspective---

I want "The Accidnetal Man" to be set in London, because I see Britain, as a populus and as a culture, becoming increasingly disillusioned, disenfranchised and lacking in purpose ---

Rather than blame an out of touch Government, I want a protagonist who is radical and revolutionary in a self-centered way!---

A man who is born the as the Accidnetal Human, and becomes the Deliberate Human---

A man on the frontline of our conscious evolution ---

I want to parody a system of welfare and government that was built specifically for a post-war britain, modelled on a specific class-structure - one that becomes increasingly diluted - a system designed for far fewer people than it now serves, from far more centralised culture and ideology....---

But more than that, I want to make this disembodied slave-master insignificant in the protagonists eventual mutation into a Deliberate Human---

I want this character to reflect the confusion of a generation of free-thinkers on the cusp of a new paradigm, the frustration of the artist as SHe sees the same mistakes endlessly repeated, the anger of human beings told that they are capable of far less than they know, deep down, that they are ---

I want a juxtaposition of accidents; the birth of the man, the role of the man, the philosophy of the man; whether its "right place, right time" or "wrong place, wrong time" that is the catalyst for the story, i dont yet know; the evolution of the mans Deliberate nature will also be instigated by an accident---
