Many of the most famous works of antiquity come to us as accounts of words spoken by someone else."

| “ | Closed systems and other destructive orthodoxies of modernity are exhibiting the "supernova effect" — a supernova being a dying star that gets bigger and brighter in the very process of dying. Closed systems are supernovas. The flair that you see is their flare for dying.
Nine-Eleven was a fear response of a closed system to a future that looks more and more like an open-source movement. The world's first "open-source" consumer product is a soft drink called "OpenCola," which gives its recipe away on their website (www.opencola.org). Current other "open-source" projects include "OpenLaw", Open-Audio," and an encyclopedia called Wikipedia. |
