It's not a story - it's a polemic. It contains things which I believe to be true and I attempt, successfully or no, to demonstrate their truth or at least to indicate reasons for believing them to be so. The notion that we can at random call such things "stories" indicates a dose of the postmodern disease where, as with Humpty Dumpty, a word "mean just what I choose it to mean -- neither more nor less. " The same thing applies to the (ab)usage of the word "civilisation" in the manifesto. cheers michael --- On Wed, 10/28/09, bob catchpole <[email protected]> wrote: > From: bob catchpole <[email protected]> > Subject: Re: [NetBehaviour] DIWO at The Dark Mountain > To: "NetBehaviour for networked distributed creativity" < [email protected]> > Date: Wednesday, October 28, 2009, 4:40 PM > Michael, > > I believe your posting can be read as an important > 'story'... a passionately expressed piece of > writing about the incredible dilemna we're in... > > Bob > > Michael Szpakowski > wrote Wednesday, 28 October, 2009 13:41:46 > > I live for art but if I *am* in a boat going over a > cataract I don't paint a picture of it.... > > > Send instant messages to your online friends > http://uk.messenger.yahoo.com > -----Inline Attachment Follows----- > > _______________________________________________ > NetBehaviour mailing list > [email protected] > http://www.netbehaviour.org/mailman/listinfo/netbehaviour _______________________________________________ NetBehaviour mailing list [email protected] http://www.netbehaviour.org/mailman/listinfo/netbehaviour
