The quotes
The speed of light does not merely transform the world. It becomes the world. Globalization is the speed of light.
War was my university. Everything has proceeded from there.
Science, which is not so attached to 'truth' as it once was, ut more to immediate 'effectiveness', is now drifting towards a decline, it's civic fall from grace.
Images contaminate us like viruses.
It will no longer be war that is the continuation of politics by other means, it will be what I have dubbed 'the integral accident' that is the continuation of politics by other means.
