Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

I don’t really have much to say… it kind of speaks for itself. I do appreciate the table of contents so you don’t get lost in the short paragraphs though

@Soyweiser Has he been huffing Marinetti's exhaust fumes again?

yep, it's in there

To paraphrase a manifesto of a different time and place: “Beauty exists only in struggle. There is no masterpiece that has not an aggressive character. Technology must be a violent assault on the forces of the unknown, to force them to bow before man.”

He's quoting the futurists? Didn't half of them go fascist?

just making sure everyone knows who he looks up to, telling everyone who it is that inspires him! you know how people gush about their role models

Sorry I have no idea who you are talking about here. I was referring to Eva. (I saw her post and went 'wonder what that could be about' and then I saw this here and everything fell into place).

Anyway, more ontopic, I wonder if this a sign our '20th century 2.0' replay has arrived at the futurist art movement? Or if that ship has long sailed and was more started by Land in the 90's.

This time the art sucks.

(Edit: Guess you were talking about Marc)
