Hello Rasputin,

i can understand your caution about the overuse of this word.

On the other hand---Hakim Bey is a major hypocrite if he is going to throw
fits about people stealing, pla(y)giarising and/or detourning his term
"TAZ"---for crying out loud, thats one of the freaking main goals of the
setting up TAZ's, burrow into the system like a termite, munching on this and
that, setting something up, and then moving on---besides he's on Alt-X talking
about the exact same thing---anyways Bey stole his ideas from Islam and other
Eastern belief systems, so he really has no room to complain.

Besides Bey's ideas are only good for raiding---i mean half of the stuff is
just plain ridiculous---but the useful half is definitely "hard-edge and
useful"

As for Bey's technophobia---that's understandable considering his belief
system---but once again---once he published that word its no longer his (say
BYE BYE Hakim)---and its really disappointing that Bey doesnt understand that.
Its not really a very unique or original concept---the words maybe but not the
concept

Thanks for the response Heir Rasputin!

 caution should be used with this often misused term TAZ, the honorable
 Hakim would most probably shake a mushroom at comparing the revels &
 revolutions of inperson coagulating with online virtual communities, &
 in fact has shaken same mushroom at me for suggesting as much, it's
 really one of the things he's a staunch hardliner about, his assertions
 of the revolution being lost in (cyber)space.
