mit dem seitenblick auf große vorbilder: kommt einem das bekannt vor? -------- Original-Nachricht -------- From: - Sat Jan 10 07:37:55 2004 Return-Path: <[email protected]> Received: from bbs.thing.net ([64.115.210.50]) by Received: (from majordomo@localhost) by bbs.thing.net (8.11.6/8.11.6) Date: Fri, 9 Jan 2004 17:38:50 -0800 (PST) From: Morlock Elloi <[email protected]> Subject: Re: <nettime> Era of LibreSelf-Deception Society Manifesto To: [email protected] Sender: [email protected] Reply-To: Morlock Elloi <[email protected]> Why do I have feeling that profiteers' greed, propagandists' exposes and the like are on the higher universal ethical level than the drivel that appears on nettime, the impotent pseudo-intellectual masturbation along the lines "they are bad and we are good" and polluting the namespace with variations of Free Libre etc etc etc. Because the former have an achievable *goal*. The truth is, no one really gives a fuck about manifesting on nettime. Publishing here is free and gives you near-zero stature. Don't waste your time and my time pretending that you're publishing in highbrow magazine with "influence". If I want to read that I'll buy one. Nettime used to have a good "have something to say/pathological impulse to publish" ratio. Generic "capitalism bad something else good" essays are FUCKING BORING. NO ONE READS THAT. MAKES YOU LOOK DUMB AND NOT BEING LAID IN MONTHS. I am writing this because lately I caught myself automatically skipping articles of more than 15-20 lines. Because they tend to be content-free. Free-form forums like this one are good for propagating actual viral ideas, stuff you cannot see published in more specialised venues. So here is one: write no more than 20 lines. ===== end (of original message) Y-a*h*o-o (yes, they scan for this) spam follows: __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
