Re: <nettime> Bifo: Beyond the Breakdown. Three Meditations on a, Possible Aftermath

[wessalow@posteo.de]

hehehe, i disagree strongly but i do not find the time to answer you 
appropriately. someone else might. whilst continuing to laugh with 
haraway (which i do because i find her humor excellent and her work 
inspiring) i will smirk a little at your rhetorical rage. and move on. 
if you don´t get it you don´t get it. but i think we are many that find 
them useful - the tools she has to offer us. so i go out and say: more 
haraway, nettimers, pls.
