| Re: <nettime> Galloway: 10 Theses on the Digital |
This is utter BS. Information in the brain is stored in the discrete form, most likely in 6-bit words: http://www.ploscompbiol.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pcbi.1002421 and is processed in a very discrete manner. Equating information processing modes with semantics/politics/philosophy is as dumb as claiming that the city of Frankfurt is the cause of a certain strain of Marxism. --- On Mon, 4/23/12, Geert Lovink <[email protected]> wrote: > From: Geert Lovink <[email protected]> > Subject: Re: <nettime> Galloway: 10 Theses on the Digital > To: [email protected] > Date: Monday, April 23, 2012, 12:27 PM > > Jean-Luc Godard Director: "The so-called "digital" is not a > mere technical medium, but a medium of thought.
