the epitome of a certain kind of celebrity-artist, a value lesson in what happens when the manufacture of fame in the service of increasing the monetary value of artificially rare products overtakes the art itself, which devolves into nothing but placeholders for this process

If, say, Syria’s Bashar Assad had TruePosition’s technology, could he use it to determine who’s participating in anti-government protests?
“Correct,” Varano says, “if it was deployed in that region.” He adds, however, “we’ve never run into anything like that.”
Varano won’t specify which governments use TruePosition’s LOCINT tools. “I have to be nebulous about where it’s actually being deployed,” he says. That includes inside the United States. “We do not disclose who is currently using TruePosition LOCINT,” Varano says, but adds, “U.S. govern
The strategy is not dialectical - liberation vs. control, unconscious vs. conscious, deviant vs. normal, sexual vs. chastity.
The strategy is CATASTROPHIC - pushing the situation to the limit.
The strategy is SYMBOLIC - using the system's own intolerable signs against .
The strategy is ANONYMOUS - the refusal to be categorizable as another star deviant. We are the norm. We are the twilight.

Single unit studies indicate that neurons in area F5 of the macaque premotor cortex, which are indistinguishable from neighboring neurons in terms of their motor properties, also discharge in response to observed actions. That is, when a monkey observes another individual performing an action that is part of its own motor repertoire, these ‘mirror neurons’ fire, creating a neural observation/execution matching system. These single unit studies also show that the macaque mirror neuron system is selective for object-directed actions

"Your name is Darl Thomas ? asked the passage courier.
Something like that," replied the voice. " You've cut an intersection into that series," it said. "I didn't write it. Neither did you. " The courier smirked, marveling at how complicated the situation had become, how implicated everyone was,
" You could still state what you think your involvement is. What you would say your intentions are." the passage courier got up from his chair and walked over to the window.
Thomas closed his eyes and clasped his hands together on the table. "You're just looking to sell people's dishonesty back to them. The truth is that everything I could possible reply has already been written, It's really just a matter of cutting in at a completely indeliberate moment and pasting up the resulting text. Words hardly ever really belong to those who use them."
"Let's be more specific, what's the basis for your interest in microbiology?"
"It's no longer a matter of talking about anything in terms of interest. With addiction to cascade, pleasure and pain no longer retains its original meaning . Looking about- we've inherited a planet which has been turned into a factory for human bodies. 10 billion organisms in a petri dish. All that there is left to do in it is to help make the factory run as well as it can."
