Bursting stovepipes creates an intellectual explosion, but it’s short-lived. You don’t get scenius without tribes, but you also don’t get it without potlatches. The periodic nature of the potlatch is necessary, & so is the discarding of material work.

Why didn’t Carnival of Souls spawn a whole genre the way Night of the Living Dead did?

Javascript is a just-OK language saddled with the world’s worst graphics toolkit: three distinct languages, each with specs so large that nobody has written a new implementation in 20 years, for live-editing a rich tech document to make it resemble a canvas, in ways that are not portable between the 3 implementations or minor revisions of the same implementation.
a myth is a machine for living in
Knowing that half of The Buggles became The Art of Noise makes me feel like maybe we do live in a comprehensible and ordered universe. But then I look at literally anything else.

Days after jokingly asking when someone will do an american live action adaptation of Kite, I find that Anchor Bay already has.
Areas of transience – the hyperspace of psychogeography – are not ‘non-places’ with ‘non-culture’. They have a uniquely warped kind of culture, in the same way tourist-dependent places do, except some people spend their lives in it (long haul truckers or jet-setting businessmen).

We don’t even live in a cyberpunk dystopia. We live in one of those early-90s cyberpunk ripoff stories by an author who half-read Neuromancer & missed the point.

@krt@krt.marmaro.de Twice an hour would be really slow for a lively discussion. But i agree, 10 seconds is too often.
