pentameter and haiku lend themselves best to that ‘casual’ or ‘conversational’ flow necessary for the jarring entry of N.

I don’t think the ways of the Left are open to us, we don’t have Progress, International Communiity, State Dept and my personal favorite The Global Financial System.

Mao is a non-starter for the same reasons, I mean Maoism. Never worked without the above.

Beginning with Mao himself.

If I can get you to talk about this at the other place, I can bill detailed responses as work time. (Just saying.)

#Accelerate seems to be attempting an imitation of the paragraph structure of McKenzie Wark’s “A Hacker Manifesto” — although the latter is quite longer.

I’m still waiting for anything interesting calling itself “accelerationism” to come forward, from anyone. Left-accelerationism has probably peaked with Marx himself — an exciting, early peak. I still haven’t seen anything like “Right accelerationism” that’s more exciting than Damodaran on valuation or less vague than Accelerando.

To put it differently: a lot of architectural criticism is done by cross-checking archetypal styles — all while ignoring the realities of structural stability in constructions. I still haven’t seen either realist (capitalist) or idealist (anti-capitalist) futurism that takes into account the structural calculations of capital. I’ve yet to see a great post-marxian, post-neoclassical theory of how to stack things on top of other things.

I will be advancing a series of experimental poems this Lent, focusing on ‘t3h h0rr0r’, or mostly attempts to evoke the numinous without being tediously savage.

I did have one… it got hacked with some talk about a labour candidate from the 60s… very odd. Anyway… I’m a bit out of touch – what’s happening? The Ukraine situation has drained any hope I retained in western leadership (real horrorshow)…

No narcoleptic cut-outs since the weekend — thanks.

No Twitter account! I’m already planning for my third …

The interest is highly appreciated, but right now I can’t see the dead trees for the cyberspace jungle. Getting some things up in electronic format is enough to blot out the horizon.

“what one searches for is the numinous, not merely the incongruous or savage” — fully agreed. That’s why the slasher genre is generally so tedious, and falls so far short of true horror.

“(but time doesn’t move.)” – I hope you don’t mind me reproducing (I’d retweet if I had an account), but this is the by far the most wonderful thing I’ve read all day. How’s the narcolepsy?
