We hypostatize information into objects. rearrangement of objects is change in the content of the information; the message has changed. this is a language which we have lost the ability to read. we ourselves are a part of this language; changes in us are changes in the content of the information. we ourselves are information-rich; information enters us, is processed and is then projected outward once more, now in an altered form. we are not aware that we are doing this, that in fact this is all we are doing.

I tend to share whatever i know in general. i've never been a person to horde information for the sake of my own skin, you know what i mean? not share so somebody doesn't take your job, i've never had that kind of insecurity. i also had a management company, too, so we were always one of those companies that shared information with our artists. whatever they wanted to know, as much as they wanted to know, they could know.
