SHAWN W & DOCTOR W:

bad press http://world.std.com/~bbrigade/
is on an individualist trip that's worth
checking out. the website just got updated.
it was thru bad press that i found MEN AGAINST
THE STATE (a good history text for american
anarchists) & after reading that i felt like
checking out ernst cassirer's MYTH OF
THE STATE. i haven't seen it on
a library shelf yet. (but did i
see it mentioned in ronell's
STUPIDITY while studying
last week at seattle's
spiffy new central
library?)

//.../..

friend of bad press, bob black
http://flag.blackened.net/liberty/egoism.html
http://www.primitivism.com/greedy.htm
has a piece in the new GREEN ANARCHY
about some postist shit (after
having avoided the subject for
some time now) ... oh & btw
we're still waiting for
aragorn's critique of
crimethinc (!)

i wonder how you (wilbur) read (ken) wilber's
understanding of the ego. he taps into
freud (& more often jung?) but also
reads some cool folks like aurobindo.
(wilber's a buddhist who dropped
out of a biochemistry [?]
program; perhaps you've seen
a photo of him if you've
ever come across any ish of
the UTNE READER.) i was a
bit of a wilber scholar
for a couple of semesters
back in the day, but now
i'm definitely on some
other shit.

i wanna hear more about these, if you please.
just yesterday i was looking at duras's excellent
interview with blanchot - the one that appears
in her book (OUTSIDE) of journalism. (gosh, it
would've been fun to be on an action committee
with the two of them back in '68, eh!?)

/././....

as for nietzsche, the first place i would go
is deleuze's essay in david allison's NEW
NIETZSCHE. or straight to nietzsche's
poetry. (gosh, there are so goddam many
nietzshean trail heads here at the
evergreen state college!
where to begin?)

./././././//../

fyi: rudolf steiner was a bit of a stirnerite.
& jason mcquinn is MORE than a bit of a stirnerite!
(dig the interview in PASSIONATE & DANGEROUS
wherein he rejects an anarchist label.)

.../..

that's all i've got to share today, but i
can keep up with a discussion until friday.
now i'm gonna go dig me up some dieter roth &
adolf wolfli.
