Reboot 9: Chris Locke

We could be heroes. Or profoundly bored. Everybody smokes pot now but still there is no world peace. Only one thing is certain: birth and death. Bummer.

Chris Locke and I talk about various aspects:

• of course Cluetrain and his presentation "mortality & sense of humor"


• why he is bored with conferences but not with reboot


• experiences with trips to Europe and Tokyo


• how artificial intelligence was the darling of the 80s


• and the internet was also coming out of the military academic industrial complex but virtual worlds seem to originate not from there


• the famous Deep-fried Mars Bar


• we may not be as free thinking as we though; the inheriting of mindsets which are not as squeaky clean as some would like to be


• his dismay about people blogging about blogging


• why he wanted commerce involved in the net so they would sign up everybody to be on the net


• now they are voluntary slaves - do we really ask at the end of our life if we have been a good consumer?


• follow paths others have not been at


• and how all of this hopefully will lead up to a book some day: Mystic Bourgeoisie.
