Revenge Ideas Goes On

More From Edward R. Murrow

Simply coming to the perpetrator and delivering the message is nozick's definition of revenge. and in that sense, adi is exacting revenge. when people ask, "does adi want revenge?" - they mean violent revenge. but in nozick's formulation, it is revenge. that is the essence of revenge.
Revenge Mean Essence
The acts of the mind, wherein it exerts its power over simple ideas, are chiefly these three: 1. combining several simple ideas into one compound one, and thus all complex ideas are made. 2. the second is bringing two ideas, whether simple or complex, together, and setting them by one another so as to take a view of them at once, without uniting them into one, by which it gets all its ideas of relations. 3. the third is separating them from all other ideas that accompany them in their real existence: this is called abstraction, and thus all its general ideas are made.

Information wants to be free.' so goes the saying. stewart brand, the founder of the whole earth catalog, seems to have said it first.i say that information doesn't deserve to be free.cybernetic totalists love to think of the stuff as if it were alive and had its own ideas and ambitions. but what if information is inanimate? what if it's even less than inanimate, a mere artifact of human thought? what if only humans are real, and information is not?...information is alienated experience.

There is something in human history like retribution; and it is a rule of historical retribution that its instrument be forged not by the offended, but by the offender himself. the first blow dealt to the french monarchy proceeded from the nobility, not from the peasants. the indian revolt does not commence with the ryots, tortured, dishonoured and stripped naked by the british, but with the sepoys, clad, fed and petted, fatted and pampered by them.
Blow Historical Firsts
We hypostatize information into objects. rearrangement of objects is change in the content of the information; the message has changed. this is a language which we have lost the ability to read. we ourselves are a part of this language; changes in us are changes in the content of the information. we ourselves are information-rich; information enters us, is processed and is then projected outward once more, now in an altered form. we are not aware that we are doing this, that in fact this is all we are doing.

Sex is difficult to write about because it's just not sexy enough. the only way to write about it is not to write much. let the reader bring his own sexuality into the text. a writer i usually admire has written about sex in the most off-putting way. there is just too much information.
