Sure, Altman has to walk a tight rope when promising the world to the whole world but the haltingness and blandness of the language is quite bizarre. Really feels like, well, dead speech which, as you concluded in your other article 'Dead Labor, Dead Speech', 'we may discover is sufficient for our purposes.' Whooaaa dystopia here we come, happening in real time at a place near you and galloping at the speed of wild horses... chilling!
A brilliant article, thank you very much! (it was very amusing to read Etzler's hyperbolic hopes... I thought I was one for hyperbole, but Etzler is the undisputable world master of all time!)
The quotation in the second sentence, “vaguely realizing westward,” is from the Robert Frost poem "The Gift Outright."

As always Mr Carr, your clarity of thought makes it so much easier for this subscriber to penetrate the detail for enlightenment!
Many thanks for the encouraging words.
