[Nettime-bold] Re: <nettime> Manual Labour in the Knowledge Economy

McKensie Wark don't like to discuss Genius 2000 but by posting these words 
he's proving Genius 2000 a concept way more sinned against than sinning.  I 
bet the writer of the testimony would have been glad to be in the first 
Edition, and probably already thought of most of the ideas in it anyway.  
"Genius 2000 has all the marks of a providential fact:  all actions of all 
men contribute to its progress."
