Re: DEFCON Presentations [3]
Pages 48 && 49 are encouraging/reassuring ... oufff [relief].
In a sense, I--maybe--start to understand those peaks in Kuala Lumpur
and Singapore from the statistics map [in Singapore one can't even chew
chewing-gums in the subway, but who knows ... better smaller/minor devils than
bigger ones].
Adorno tells how a couple of very important discoveries of the last century
[psychoanalysis, 12-tone music, logic ...] have been *unexpectedly* made
in a kind of dropped-out/come down metropolis--Vienna/Austria--of Europe
instead of, say, in the buzzing Paris or London. [Adorno:] The more
provincial/lethargic general environment of Vienna [-> Karl Kraus] may
paradoxically have permitted a more undisturbed work in these cases.
