![]() ![]() The Oblique Strategies are also referenced in comic 1018, "Oblique Angles", of popular web comic Questionable Content. Strategies mentioned include "Honor thy error as a hidden intention", "Look closely at the most embarrassing details and amplify", "Not building a wall making a brick", "Repetition is a form of change", and one which came to be seen as a summary of the film's ethos (though it was not part of the official set of Oblique Strategies), "Withdrawing in disgust is not the same thing as apathy." This line was quoted in the 1994 song " What's the Frequency, Kenneth?" by R.E.M., who also mentioned Oblique Strategies in their 1998 song "Diminished" off the album Up. References to Oblique Strategies exist in popular culture, most notably in the film Slacker, in which a character offers passers-by cards from a deck. In this case the card is trusted even if its appropriateness is quite unclear. They can be used as a pack, or by drawing a single card from the shuffled pack when a dilemma occurs in a working situation. Sometimes they were recognised in retrospect (intellect catching up with intuition), sometimes they were identified as they were happening, sometimes they were formulated. These cards evolved from separate observations of the principles underlying what we were doing.
