You crack me up Max! Genius 2000 this, Genius 2000 that! If it's so intrinsic to our being and all that exists then why must it be endlessly promoted? I think the sun or maybe the moon could use a publicist too, maybe.

I think that Shakespeare is as much a result of technology as I am.  He was the printing press guy, I'm the internet guy.  We both use words, is the main thing.  I use 'em, he uses 'em.
Genius 2000 language indeed is not ephemeral but rooted, suffocating, and durable, much as say the trees are.  The trees sing a message of Genius 2000.  You don't think they do?  OK.  I don't mind.  They do.  I sing the body electric, the genius 2000.
Language, talking, thinking, seeing, and believing are all now very different because of the internet, which you might easily call the ShakespeareWeb or language-matrix of today if you want.  Technology changes language.
But who changes it back?  There is in fact change-backing going on under the nasty sty.  Language changes technology too.
Shakespeare was a monument-builder.  I must insist that he knew that.
I am by far the superior writer to Shakespeare.  Why is this true?  Because what you think writing is is not what I think it is.  It's omnimedia like Martha Stewart--inscrutable.  Martha Stewart is of course based on--don't guess--Lady Macbeth.  Agree or disagree?  Judson!  Medea?
So let's all write away, about Genius 2000.  Now that it's such a big part of our language-lives we're obliged to in fact.
