'I don’t think we’re ever going to get to utopia again by going forward,
but only roundabout or sideways; because we’re in a rational dilemma, 
an either/or situation as perceived by the binary computer mentality, 
and neither the either nor the or is a place where people can live.'
-- Ursula K. Le Guin

My reading list for SI XII

__Fred Moten - Black and Blur

Held in the very idea of white people — in the illusion of their strength, in the fantasy of their allyship, in the poverty of their rescue, in the silliness of their melancholy, in the power of their networks, in the besotted rejection of their impossible purity, in the repeated critique of their pitiful cartoon — is that thing about waiting for vacancy to shake your hand while the drone’s drone gives air a boundary

They had developed the most advanced systems for mapping desire known to man [literally]. They all seemed satisfied to live in a world of tops/bottoms, mascs/fems divided into various size, shape, hair level, affiliations. It was less a result of sexual exploration than a marketplace that mimicked the artificial volition offered by a shopping mall. The complexities of sensual want were denied prima facie in lieu of the easy, greasy, sleazy, and cheap alternative. Fucking or getting fucked for one night only... possibly more if you could tolerate his breath...

The highly trained French services, rich with experience acquired in modern wars, past masters in the practice of "sound-wave warfare," were quick to detect the wave lengths of the broadcasting stations. The programs were then systematically jammed, and the Voice of Fighting Algeria soon became inaudible. A new form of struggle had come into being. Tracts were distributed telling the Algerians to keep tuned in for a period of two or three hours. In the course of a single broadcast a second station, broadcasting over a different wave-length, would relay the first jammed station.
[...]
Every evening, from nine o'clock to midnight, the Algerian would listen. At the end of the evening, not hearing the Voice, the listener would sometimes leave the needle on a jammed wave-length or one that simply produced static, and would announce that the voice of the combatants was here. For an hour the room would be filled with the piercing, excruciating din of the jamming. Behind each modulation, each active crackling, the Algerian would imagine not only words, but concrete battles.
