Whatever happened to Josh Harris of pseudo/quiet? In that weird but
prescient doco "We live in public" he says something like all the guys
he knew who made dotcom fortunes "wasted their money" by not blowing
the lot on "surveillance art" millennium apocalypse parties. And KLF
certainly made a lasting myth, whether they torched the wonga or not.
I am just pondering the power, ethics and potential of conspicuous
destruction of ones own wealth. There's something profane in this, in
a world where it's getting harder to find. Wouldn't it be funny if
Musk bought Twitter, and simply shut it down, and pissed off on
vacation with no contactable number.
- agentwiggles 5y agoOne of my favorite software devs I've worked with once told me that if he were elected president, his first and only action as president would be to abolish the presidency and then return home. Obviously not actually plausible, but I got a kick out of his sincerity on the topic. (If you're out there, Dan, hi!)
- kingcharles 5y agoThe KLF were just ahead of their time. Now they could launch a DAO and everyone could own a share of the burnt wonga and they could sell NFTs of it and open a fast-food chain where everyone can pay with burnt twenty quid notes.
