OT Kleist's "Michael Kohlhaas"
by Faustine 10 Dec '01

10 Dec '01

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 In case you haven't read it, here's a partial synopsis of Heinrich von Kleist's "Michael Kohlhaas", written in 1810.... *** In Michael Kohlhaas, Heinrich von Kleist tells the grim story of how a relatively small injustice escalates almost into civic insurrection. It is the story of the wealthy horse trader Michael Kohlhaas. The strange and unhappy story of this man takes it beginning one day when he is travelling to Saxony with a couple of well-fed young horses. Crossing the border he is asked to show his travel permit. Michael Kohlhaas has never heard that such permit is necessary, and does not have money available to pay for one. Instead he leaves behind as security two black horses together with a boy who is told to care well for them. They are all placed in the care of the castle bailiff, Junker Wenzel von Tronka. When Michael Kohlhaas later arrives in Dresden he finds out that a travel permit was not necessary. He succeeds in selling the rest of his horses and returns to collect his two black horses and the boy. He finds the horses in miserable condition in a stable, while the boy has been chased away for disobedience. Kohlhaas is incensed and refuses to accept the horses as they are. Instead he carries his case to the court, but his complaint is turned down, apparently because the bailiff, Junker Tronka, is related to the officials of the court. His wife goes to Berlin to deliver a petition in person. Guards hinder her in delivering the petition and by accident one of them wounds her fatally. Kohlhaas swears revenge. He rides to the castle of Junker Wenzel von Tronka, and burns down everything.The Junker has already fled to Wittenberg. Kohlhaas follows him, torches part of the town, and threatens to continue until the Junker is delivered to him. The Junker flees to Leipzig with Kohlhaas at his heels. A growing number of people is following Kohlhaas. What began as a personal vendetta has grown into a small but dangerous insurrection. *** I won't spoil the ending...a great story! ~Faustine. *** He that would make his own liberty secure must guard even his enemy from oppression; for if he violates this duty he establishes a precedent that will reach to himself. - -Thomas Paine -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: PGPsdk version 1.7.1 (C) 1997-1999 Network Associates, Inc. and its affiliated companies.

Anarchy was featured in an old 'High Times' issue,the one with jimmy carter snorting coke on the cover. It was a pretty hacked synopsis of anarch hirstory,however it led to some hope that at least some synergies might spring up there.HT got banned and now the 'tech tv'' are sniffing around.Laid off dot bombers whose yuppification nearly destroyed SF.They just asked for an interview,Im going to reluctantly if they stump up some sprucing up money.I dont expect much to come out of this but I want my latitude back.

Re: in praise of gold

[A repost of an earlier message regarding gold] > It's true - so why not say it? A hundred years ago, the Federal Reserve > "dollar" didn't exist, and a hundred years hence it won't be there. The > gold will still exist. Which is the better standard of value? > > Marc de Piolenc If you really want to look at 100 year time scales, gold is completely unsuitable as a standard of value. Over the next 100 years it is highly likely that we will develop new technologies which will totally change what we think of as valuable. Nanotechnology and similar methods will allow atom by atom restructuring of matter. Gold and other elements can be extracted from sea water or from the soil. Space mining will open access to mineral stores on other planets. Low cost, solar powered low-energy orbits can bring these resources back to earth. With all the changes that we are going to be seeing over the next 100 years, what are the chances that one particular metal is going to turn out to have anywhere near the same value that it has today? It is far more likely that the relative prices of all the elements will vary greatly from what we have known in the past. Look at a chart of the abundances of the elements in the earth's crust, and in the terrestrial planets. These represent "supply" of matter in the future. Demand will come from how useful these elements are in supplying people's needs. Carbon may well turn out to be a highly valuable element due to its great flexibility, strength, its biological role, and its relative rarity. Diamonds will be no more valuable than soot, of course, but both will be excellent raw materials for nanotech construction. Or they may not. We don't know enough now. But we can certainly say that any money based on the rarity of an elemental commodity faces the prospect of being highly unstable as we move into the nanotech regime. On the other hand, fiat moneys can be based on contract and mutual agreement. With cryptographic protection, account balances are transferred securely. And as multiple money issuers (the US Fed among others) compete in an international market, the global money supply will be self adjusting, as predicted by economic models. This is the true foundation for an economically stable future. Atoms are the past; bits are the future. Money is becoming information, with checks and balances already in place to control the global money supply. In contrast, basing the future economic system on the spatial distribution of metallic atoms would be foolish.
