"Wagner's Buddhist opera, Die Sieger, was unfortunately never completed." --Donald S Lopez Jr, The Scientific Buddha (2012)
Dennis Cooper on Firbank (via Feuilleton).
"The market doesn’t have a brain, a conscience, a morality or a sense of history. The market only has one rule and it’s a bad rule, a rule that would only work in a world where there was an infinity of raw materials, what the eco-Marxists are calling the “four cheaps”: cheap food, cheap power, cheap labour, cheap raw material.
There is no new place to go to get cheap resources; there is no way to get cheap food, and so on and so forth. The “four cheaps” are gone, and yet the market is designed to do nothing about that. So this story needs to be told and it’s kind of being told, but it also needs to be shaped, and this is where I feel a bit desperate and a little crazy." --Kim Stanley Robinson
