also from sam vaknin is a very demystifying "interim report" (already written in 1996, revised in 99) about the future of what i spend most of my time with: internet: a medium or a message.

"the internet cannot be currently defined as a medium. it does not function as one – rather it is a very disordered library, mostly incorporating the writings of non-distinguished megalomaniacs. it is the ultimate narcissistic experience." – sam vaknin

caught red-handed.
