"Socialism has typically been a nostalgic diatribe against underdeveloped capitalism, finding its eschatological soap-boxes amongst the relics of precapitalist territorialities."

“Cthelll is the terrestrial inner nightmare, nocturnal ocean, Xanadu: the anorganic metal-body trauma-howl of the earth lutonic science slides continuously into schizophrenic delirium. Fast forward seismology and you hear the earth scream.”

“The cyberpunk circuitry of self-organizing planetary commoditronics escaped nominal bourgeois control in the late nineteenth century, provoking technocratic-corporatist political cultures in allergic reaction.”

“Although Postmodernism was certainly a fad, it was also a zeitgeist, or spirit of the times. It meant something, despite its own best efforts, at least as a symptom. The disappearance of reality that it announced was itself real, as was the realm of simulation that replaced it.”

“As a mathematical object, the constitution is maximally simple, consistent, necessarily incomplete, and interpretable as a model of natural law. Political authority is allocated solely to serve the constitution. There are no authorities which are not overseen, within nonlinear structures. Constitutional language is formally constructed to eliminate all ambiguity and to be processed algorithmically. Democratic elements, along with official discretion, and legal judgment, is incorporated reluctantly, minimized in principle, and gradually eliminated through incremental formal improvement. Argument defers to mathematical expertise. Politics is a disease that the constitution is designed to cure.”

“At the most abstract level, the relation between urbanism and microelectronics is scalar . The coming computers are closer to miniature cities than to artificial brains, dominated by traffic problems , migration / communications, zoning issues , the engineering potential of new materials, questions of dimensionality , entropy or heat / waste dissipation , and disease control .”

“It might be argued that civilization is nothing else, that is to say: the tendency of personal authority to decline towards zero.”
