What I say: accelerating forward is not my favorite way to describe what I
think is best for (may I say) human genius right now. Yes sideways
acceleration is only me, only a Max Herman idea–it's my trademark signature
idea. To accelerate sideways. I object to, protest, and disrupt
acceleration as An Artist by accelerating sideways when I must, and do other
things when I must.

I'm nitpicking. I want to read on.

Hey cool. I'm also upset that utopian architecture has not been able to
absorb or grapple with the I-bomb, here in USA. My utopian architecture, as
I have to argue for myself because no one else seems to want to do the job
for me, is, in my opinon, a valid and improving revision of say
"De-Architecture" by that one dude. I don't know what Serialism is. I think
the millennium hut does deal with technology though. On special occasions or
if the builder has a lot of money, they can wire up the hut. It has little
shelves to hold 20 monitors of web art made before the end of the Millennium.
I guess I didn't make that clear.

Plus I want it to be a very pretty hut. Nice woodwork and wood. It will
last in the summer and not need to be painted. It is a little lo-tech, ish,
but I call that here in this case "sub-tech", as in subplot and subtext and
spurs that jingle-jangle-jingle. It relates in this not only to my own
personal kickass vision and love but to the ANCIENT hebrew ceremonial
structure called a "sukkhot." The millennium hut is hard-nailed to history.
I don't think I can accelerate my way out of it. That's why I like Walter
Benjamin better than Paul Virilio every every every day.

But that's me, a diseased leprous misfit Aqualung. Locomotive Breath! Janet
Jackson!

there is a strong stance agianst technology at the establishment you see

we have both peekied in and around the stablishment, yours I admit is
different than mine was. I think Bill Gates loves technology and he's
establishment. I think there is an enormo-consensus about how technology
relates to humans–i.e. as a vengeful deity to be appeased and wndered at. I
dipagree. Harder and harder. I am what needs to happen, in that
Genius=humans and technology 00. Yes they are against me too.

There's a strong stance against human genius in the establishment. It is now
a terrified, brittle edifice torn between despair and conservative
compassion. We can rebuild him. Better. Stronger. Faster.

Me too, in the way of art you use your hands in. I smashed up this old
broken razor I had, used a massive stout hand-sickle from the 30's I got at a
garage sale. You can see one of the chops at

I cannot draw, I never have learned, but the drawing skill in "Smart Bot" at
www.geocities.com/genius-2000/NOWcartoons.html is truly me pitching over my
head, I have never been more pleased with a drawing. The bottom panel is
particularly bravura, as they say Bernini was (Liza?) as a sculptor. The
freehand copy of a Da Vinci sketch is also in "Smart Bot," bet no one noticed
that. Oh well. The prone Christ in "Smart Bot" is as skillful as a real,
true painter. Like Constable, and don't tell me he's for loser viagrants.
He could turn a dot into a dog, if anyone here has seen his rougher landscape
sketches, they are unbelievable enough to make you cry.

I've seen the architecture world and I'm not as impressed as you are. I'm 32
and leprous, you are 22 and happy as the sun. OK. I am not amazed by
contemporary architecture. Quite the reverse. It's in my monographs.
