Re: <nettime> industrial civilisation headed for 'irreversible collapse'?

[John Young <jya@pipeline.com>]

Swell justification for restricting higher education to a few monks
and nuns to yearn on calloused knees and wormy gruel for eternal
damnation without salvation. Send the rest into the fields and mines
and hovels to labor, fuck and die shortly and brutally. Population
will rapidly drop to save the goodies for the brilliantly exploitive
apostles of dreadful prospects for apostates.

Disaster journalism with a high-level aspiration of fey and hip
scholarship inspires, say, Columbia University sponsorship of
how to diddle journally with Twitter data and computer storytelling
to confect Golgathic crawl up Ephesus. Monks and nuns in
faux worker jeans and mock savage tats.

Bring it on, the demonic machinic algorithmic spying of big data
for actionable mephistophilic snow jobs of cosmology, climate,
comsec and cold war to run up bonuses of GS ass-swipes
embedded in swank non-profit temples of dendur pulling
a million a year in hot gash and deferrments.
