The thing i really like about twitter is the speed with which information reaches me. you find out things from twitter long before they're on the news. that i think is valuable. in terms of actually tweeting myself, i have just lost enthusiasm for it. maybe i'll do some of it this week to tell people about the pen festival and encourage them to show up.

I just got on twitter because there was some mtv film blog that quoted me on something really innocuous that i supposedly said on twitter before i was even on twitter. so then i had to get on twitter to say: 'this is me. i'm on twitter. if there's somebody else saying that they're me on twitter, they're not.'

Speed is the form of ecstasy the technical revolution has bestowed on man. as opposed to a motorcyclist, the runner is always present in his body, forever required to think about his blisters, his exhaustion; when he runs he feels his weight, his age, more conscious than ever of himself and of his time of life. this all changes when man delegates the faculty of speed to a machine: from then on, his own body is outside the process, and he gives over to a speed that is noncorporeal, nonmaterial, pure speed, speed itself, ecstasy speed.

Enthusiasm reaches out with joy, for there is nothing depressing about it; it reaches out in faith, for there is no fear in it; it reaches out with acceptance, for there is no doubt in it; it reaches out as a child for there is no uncertainty about it.

I just don't need cable news. there's nothing that happens on cable news that i don't already know. i'm talking about just the acquisition of information, learning things. what is on cable tv is not that. cable news isn't news. what is happening on cable news right now is a political assassination of not just donald trump, but of ideas and cultural mores that i believe in.

Any information is valuable to the degree that you can use it. in other words, any information is valuable to the degree that you can make it yours. scientology does not teach you. it only reminds you. for the information was yours in the first place. it is not only the science of life, but it is an account of what you were doing before you forgot what you were doing.
