The defenders of miniaturisation, of "alternative technique" belive that they are fighting the alienating mégalomania of apparatus, ad that they are returning to human dimensions [...] never before has the man cesaed to be the mesure of all things so radically as with miniaturisation. Man becomes a worthless particle, a worthless entity

Okay this is a bit shitty

He is definetly loosing his head. Like... Too much old phenomenology In a postmodern mind, a clash of ideas that concludes in a weird nonsensical match. It was quite good uptil now but... It's going downhill

Learn to live the future that is no longer ours. And we should do it in full knowledge that this future envisages the programing that will devour us

The awareness of the fact that behind the rotation nothing "hides", literally. That it is the absurd rotation that is the reality of the apparatus. With such awareness er may at least be propelled centrifugal ly out of functionalism towards nothingness

The rhythm of mass society is the manifestation of "the eternal recurrence of the same as will to power" In an anti-Nitzschean sense

The cinema is a basilica without windows a cave. It is the black uterus, the Great Mother that generates and devours. Within it shadows appear. The platonic myth of the cave describes it, and Plato could be considered as the first film critic

To reformulate science dialogically implies a reformulation of society's communication Al fabric; to démocratie it. But such an epistemological task is thus a political task. It is a case of making science palitically responsible

The amphitheater demands that the irradiated information be transformed dialogically into an amorphous soup, into "public opinion"

The mass communication apparatus are black boxes that transcode messages from the trees of sience, if technique, of art, into extremely simple and poor codes

Well this is taking a rather interesting turn.

It does not matter if the reason for the fight against the death rate of newborns is noble (to save lifes) or vile (to generate cheap manual labor) what counts is that the programming functions imperfectly: it creates new problems. But the program can be perfected. The solution is "zero growth".
