“Was not their mistake once more bred of the life of slavery that they had been living?—a life which was always looking upon everything, except mankind, animate and inanimate—‘nature,’ as people used to call it—as one thing, and mankind as another, it was natural to people thinking in this way, that they should try to make ‘nature’ their slave, since they thought ‘nature’ was something outside them” — William Morris

Slightly Less Violent

Mark Bittman with news of a good idea. Plant a bit of non-instrumental lifeforms in 10% of agrilogistical space.

I'm a big fan of his VB6 diet, or as I call it "The Strict Hypocrite's Diet."

Also a little less violent, a little more in the right direction, a veer...

Well Bittman is extremely annoying, cognitive dissonance on two legs, yet this is sort of a good idea, the problem for me but not OOO being that the strips will be cross pollinated with escapee genomic sequences from the GMO corn. Thus the natural and the cultural collapse with the techno which is not the political outcome I prefer although it is unavoidable. Still one must cry Basta at some point! So I prefer art and culture and bricolage in the medians, as opposed to the Derridean margins, and recommend an Android Lust sound installation in an Iowa cornfield. Consider the Human Animal track: http://music.androidlust.com/album/the-human-animal
