dear Mark Stahlman and others
sorry about jumping in like this, I follow the various conversation
on this list and at times feel a great irritation at the flippant
manner in which words are bantered about.
how bizarre to hear people railing against machines and other devices
that somehow materialised during the 20th century when the very
discourses they are engaged in is facilitated by 'machines'
technologies' 'inventions' and a vast array of 20th century
paraphernalia - not only is this some kind of simplistic Luddite
rubbish but also the kind of apolitical posturing that is hermetic
and not at all constructive.
