MEMORY HAS REPLACED LOGIC in today's world. No one can carry an argument beyond their own position of self interest. We believe only what we remember to be true. We remember very little on our own. We rely on our machines to substantiate the past. Machines have a facility for memory which is precise and extensive. Machines free us from the responsibility of storing and organizing memories. When we forget--and we forget--we simply have to search our machine memories to re-establish what happened. With the aid of our machines, we don't just remember, we re-remember. And in partnership with our machines we establish the truth by comparing records, the documentary evidence of the past. We establish our personal perspective by re-remembering. By re-re-re-remembering... By re-re-re-re-re- re-re-re-remembering. We stack up the records, the weight of documentary evidence, against the present and we get a sense of our personal perspective. We enjoy the consistency of our perspective. We are anchored by our memory, our machine memory. We depend on our machine memory. We are lost without our machine memory. When our systems crash, destroying all or part of our recorded memories, we have to decide to rebuild or to pull the plug.

Não, eu não vou no Rock in Rio. Desisti. Só queria ver o show do Beck e é confusão demais pra ver um show de uma hora aonde o artista vai ficar do tamanho de uma ervilha.

Mas quem falta mesmo nesse Rock in Rio é o Steve Vai. Não, eu não gosto do Steve Vai, pra falar a verdade eu odieo o Steve Vai. Mas seria muito divertido ver os outdoors: "Steve Vai. E você ?".
