Virtual Domination and Young Masters of G2K

Natalie was one angry customer. She had gone into debt for an MFA that
market-wise had little or no resale value of any kind. The pressure and red
tape had driven her insane, and she called Genius 2000 paranoid
subordination. Max tried to get up under it and I had my face torn to bloody
rags. My real name was always Nickolas but it made me feel discarded and
redundant so when time came to sign the lease I wrote "Max Herman" instead.
Why should I be the guilty one if Myers could pay? It wasn't my job to clean
up the whole fuckin city. Daily bread so I have to see art-drone from
Duluth, Mexico find out there's no free water except what you buy on the
street. She couldn't hold a camera for thirty minutes in a hot zone if it
killed her. First peep at fat-girl fatigues and burnt plastic was about it.
Dogwater.

There's a test they give you in juvie, asking you if you want to fight. Well
I had no reason to pony up to some hag from Dudworld. She must think she's
the only Jetta with a stereo. I tore up the receipts from the pawnshop that
had her garbage and dug out her folio. Shit. Nothing but misfeasance since
she showed her greedy face. Reminded me of ports along Sea of Japan from my
recon days, a lot of white college rejects coding in the District. You could
tell she wouldn't talk too loud if she ever got on. Another chicken to the
fryer. But 1500 on cash reserve, which I need for the pipe, I'll do the
fucking search. It's like swimming in Jello.

OK. You have every right to do so. I commend you for that. I'll take you
at your word that you study me as a deteriorated american male ego. I'll
study you as someone who thinks I am a deteriorated american male ego.

>from now on we use the word debate for sake of not debasing one another.

It's funny, that's why I never grew up, I couldn't figure out how to be a
debaser. I don't think it's a joke or charming either. I know that in real
life you might not like me or invest time in me. After all, why would you?
We'll never meet anyway so who cares.

i told
> you before i am not interested in personal dicography

Yeah, who would be? I mean in someone else's. Good call.

>ha ha ha la la la la ethos i wanna talk shop and that is it

I hear ya. You asked one time how can art be moral during Empire, I think
only by Genius 2000. Well that's the way I use. I doubt the general
consensus is that I'm a really very morally sound creator or that I generate
moral imperialist art. However it is the very truth.

In Empire I think you have to have socially responsible consumption and
investment. But the power of the center demands total corruption when
necessary. It's a big problem. If you use money, you are doing some violent
stuff to someone who suffers to keep that money valuable.

Therefore I disagree that a person can just back out of the world and live in
their own utopia. I mean, you can and you can't. Of course we all do, most
of us, take what we can get and need to be happy. I respect happy people qua
happy people sometimes, sometimes I don't.

Is that what you mean by shop? When I was four I knew this 2-year old E.K.,
she worked DV in Vegas and national circuit, still does, has a daughter named
Jade. You know her?
