| Re: <nettime> honest work |
Since this advert is for the Global Business Network, I think that the job
description should include:
* Uncritical belief in every idiocy of neo-liberal economics (aka free
market fundamentalism, la pensee unique, etc.);
* Total committment to transforming technological progress into
socio-economic regression;
* Blind faith in the imminent arrival of the 'Long Boom' even as the East
Asian economies implode;
* Absolute certainty that entering the twenty-first century is exactly the
same as returning to the eighteenth century;
* Never criticising the environmental damage and human rights abuses carried
out by Shell or any other sponsor of the GBN.
Any other suggestions from the nettime crew??
Later,
Richard
