damn all of this idolatry!
kill & burn your *!
the best * is that which is destroyed.
if * is not a commodity, then let's just get back to immediate, impermanent, ephemeral, temporary creation, shall we?
let go of all attachments to *.
a new * will rise from the ashes, soaring even higher than before... only to return to chaos again, and then coalesce into yet another new ( Read more... )

In the interest of providing a variety of perspectives on this idea, a few other resources come to mind:
Less is more!
John Maeda's Laws of Simplicity
The Long Tail Blog
The Long Now Foundation
Fortunately, as geeks, we can at least realize that... if any significantly advanced technology is indistinguishable from magick, then our ( ... )
