Hell, you don't need economy after this happens, you may do as you wish, because only at that point do you have the power to do as you wish without sucking the toes of your highly regarded fascist economics - which you unfortunately must subserve to at some degree every day. how else can coca cola and nicotine be produced . . . >kant = konektd 2 abel > = konektd 2 maxuel > = konektd 2 membank you consider this your ancestry? >rulz = 01 ua! > h!er !zt dze f!nl rule - !t = urong accepted.

But while assiduously dismissing any thought of its own autonomy and proclaiming its victims its judges, it outdoes, in its veiled autocracy, all the excesses of autonomous art. The culture industry not so much adapts to the reactions of its customers as it counterfeits them. It drills them in their attitudes by behaving as if it were itself a customer. . . . " "Only at a remove from life can the mental life exist and truly engage the empirical. While thought relates to facts and moves by criticizing them, its movement depends no less on the maintenance of distance. It expresses exactly what it is, precisely because what is is never quite as thought expresses it. Essential to it is an element of exaggeration, of over-shooting the object, of self-detachment from the weight of the factual, so that instead of merely reproducing being it can, at once rigorous and free, determine it. Thus every thought resembles play, with which Hegel no less than Neitzsche compared the work of the mind. The unbarbaric side of philosophy is its tacit awareness of the element of irresponsibility, of blitheness springing from the volatility of thought, which forever escapes what it judges." Adorno goes on to discuss creatures such as integer's favourite marionettes. I won't tire you with endless regurgitation. You may find these in minimia moralia. cher _______________________________________________ Nettime-bold mailing list Nettime-bold@nettime.org http://www.nettime.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/nettime-bold
