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!
