Bruce Sterling Rant-A-Thon

A few quotes I liked from Bruce Sterling Rant-A-Thon:

I’m not into the military and I’m not an anti-war guy. I’m more into infosec.

It’s alarming to have Brazil as the world’s most politically innovative country. Even Brazilians like to say that Brazil is country of the future and always will be. They’ve got a lot of things wrong.

If you could get every scam artist, phisher, and 419 scammer and surround this building, we’d see them as a terrifying army, but they have carte blanche to go anywhere in the world and terrorize people less sophisticated than ourselves.

In Spain they’re tired of bullshit. They followed the PM to the poll and booed him: Put down that ballot, you lying son of a bitch. They were sick of the deceit. It wasn’t the war, it was the policy of spin and feeding lies. It’s the dismal business.

Waiting for the Post-Oil peak Era

I am eager to live the post-oil peak era with its abandonned SUVs on the border of the roads. Bruce Sterling explains why in its Rant-A-Thon:

Creative class people — the people at this event — will never prosper in an oil society. An oil society sinks a well and surrounds it with bayonets and waits for the civil society to decline around it. Why bother, so long as there’s money coming out of the ground?
