> pshift - paradigm shift utility
>
> SYNOPSIS
> pshift [-zzeitgeist] [-rragelev] [-v] [-c] [-wn] [+|-n]
>
> DESCRIPTION
> The pshift operator performs a paradigm shift on its input stream
> within
> the context of the current or specified zeitgeist.
>
> OPTIONS
> -z Specify the zeitgeist context. May be specified here or from
> the environment variable $ZEITGEIST.
> Supported values of zeitgeist are judeo_christian (default),
> postcommunist, new_age, and when_god_was_a_woman.
>
> -r Specify rage level. Acceptable values of ragelev are ennui
> (default), deep_seated, and consuming.
>
> -v Set to verbose mode. Normally pshift operates silently; in
> verbose mode it publishes a 500+ page bestseller entitled "Rethinking
> [input stream] in the [zeitgeist] Age", and then begins soliciting
> honoraria until the operator types ctrl-c. On some systems it runs
> for
> Congress.
>
> -c Set to collective IO. Normally pshift takes its input from
> stdin and outputs to stdout; in collective mode it takes its input
> from
> the Collective Unconscious and writes to the Body Politic.
>
> -wn Specify first, second, third or fourth wave. Acceptable
> values
> for n are 0,1,2 or 3, with 2 (third wave) being the default.
>
> [On Sun systems, the logical waves are 0,3,2,1, which map to physical
> waves 0,1,2,3; see Sun Technical Manual for details.]
> +|-n Specifies the number of times to prepend 'post' to
> the
> zeitgeist context, if positive, or 'pre' if negative.
> The default is 11.
>
> EXAMPLES
> source $DEITY | pshift -zpostcommunist -rdeep_seated -v +1
> On most systems, the above command will output a hardcover volume
> called
> "Rethinking God in the Post-Postcommunist Era", in which the
> irrelevence
> of erstwhile religious concepts is seen to have triggered a global,
> deep-seated rage vis-a-vis traditional sociopolitical norms leading to
> a
> premature breakdown of emerging postsoviet infrastructure.
>
> pshift -znew_age -rennui
> The above command produces no output, but privately processes a vague
> discontent which it will share if its space is honored. May be
> redirected to /dev/null.
>
> pshift -c -w3 -1
> Taking its input from the collective unconscious, the above command
> rejects the failed socioeconomic policies of the last thirty years and
> replaces them with a futurist, fourth wave polemic of traditional
> values, the two-parent family, and the supremacy of the private
> sector
> that was the foundation of the American utopia of the 1950s. Use a
> prepend value of -2 to restore the American utopia of the early
> Industrial Age, a value of -3 to restore the European utopia of the
> Enlightenment, -4 for catholic hegemony, etc. (note: Requires grass
> root permission. In verbose mode, it may also require a $4 million
> advance.)
>
> SEE ALSO
> backlash(1)
>
> BUGS
> You must have root permission to use consuming rage.
