!Crime! (the artist formerly known as Case)
We share our memories with others, but we do not have "collective memory";
we have shared collected memory. I can read about the Vietnam War, but that
does not mean I have a memory of it. Or I can share a memory with you, but
you only have a story of my memory, not my memory. There is no "collective
memory" or "collective intelligence". We stand on the shoulders of giants,
but we are not the giants.
"Lately I've been dancing in ceiling fans, in through the kitchen and out
the back gate".

<I guess I did not think my use of the term library would be taken quite so
<literally. Information is collected in a library. Our common shared
memories
<are distributed in libraries, the internet, in video stores and record
<shops, in photo albums and diaries, in the studio values and television
<network archives.
<Among the greatest crimes of the past century was that idea that this
<collective memory could be owned and metered.
