Cypherpunks,
I was twiddling the dials on my Hartle-Witten BraneNet, and I
received this message from a parallel negative tension brane
universe. Apparently there is a group similar to our own group in
this world which is at this quasi-time debating "literary anarchy."
Here's an excerpt:
anarchy.
I think AP may have contained the germ of this idea; but
Bell was perhaps too much of a nihilist to develop it in
this direction, and more bent on destruction than creation.
Crediting Bell with this idea, when he only arrived on the scene in
the mid-90s, is absurd. Read some history.
