The theory of machinery is that it saves time, but Stanford himself noted of such machinery that “if you could limit man’s wants it might be called ‘labor saving,’ but as there are no limits to his wants, the machinery really increases the power of production.” That is, the industrialized world wants more goods, not more time, and so the machinery doesn’t increase freedom and leisure, it increases production and consumption.

Qns About MUSIC
Sure, make it happen.
1) What album do you consider to be “epic”?
2) Which band do you feel is more important: Crass or The Clash?
3) You’ve been in a terrible accident. You were horribly injured, so badly your heart actually stopped. Shit, man—you were legally dead for three minutes. Then you were in a coma for a week. When you’re finally starting to recover, your best friend brings you your iPod as you lay in your hospital bed. What song do you listen to first?
4) Name a musical collaboration you WISH had happened.
5) You’ve got a time machine. What show would you like to see?
6) Vinyl? MP3’s? Favorite format and why.
7) If David Bowie had looked and acted like Joe Pesci his entire career but still made the same records, would they mean as much to you? How about Madonna, Lady Gaga, Ozzy Osbourne, or other artists?
8) What musician would you most want to have sex with? Assume you’ve still got that time machine.
9) What musician would you go gay for?
10) You’re directing a movie based on your life. The screenplay was written by a psychic who knows you better than you know yourself, and even wrote scenes based on the parts of your life you haven’t even lived yet. What song do you play on the soundtrack for your birth? Your death? And for when you lost your virginity?
11) Your pick for the most overrated band of all time.
12) Name a record you’re kinda embarrassed to admit you like.
13) Name a song that makes you cry. Now tell me why.
14) Name a musician whose work you love, even if you suspect you’d absolutely hate him as a human being.
15) You’re a musician. If the only way you could support yourself as a musician would be to have Britney Spears’ career (not her personal life, but her career, singing the same shit Britney sings and raking in the same piles of money), would you do it?
16) Your favorite record that you’d never let your children listen to.
17) Name a song that makes you horny.
18) Name a song so bad it makes you angry.
19) You’re a radio DJ trapped in the studio as the world ends. How does it end, and what song do you choose to play in those final moments?
I have never done one of these memequizzes before, so yes, ask me things.

Woohoo i got upgraded by @starbucks i feel special! (Taken with instagram)
I do have a certain amused contempt for the number of people who walk sideways into [‘The Wire’] and act like they were there all along.
The future is… what?
Our institutions (finance, politics, media, education), our pillars, are failing us and cannibalizing themselves to provide the illusion of solidity when they are merely calcified. It’s going to get darker before the rebirth. What can we do to push it forward?
