The document discusses three options for how people can respond to an increasingly mediated reality: 1) fighting against technological domination, 2) surrendering to technology, or 3) becoming media themselves by learning how to hack and manipulate technology to their own ends. It quotes Humberto Maturana saying the essential question is not about knowledge or progress, but about human desires and taking responsibility for how technology shapes those desires.

- Science fiction writer Neal Stephenson consonantly invokes an infocalypse (in his influential novel "Snow Crash" of 1992) as the name of a software program containing a vast multimedia library, featuring a rather cheerful Librarian who provides its user with instant information on anyone and anything = Google Earth
- Deliverator In this extremely competitive, frantically-paced post-national world - Stephenson calls it Reality - the cultural, economic and intellectual elite spends most of its time in the Metaverse: a virtual world that people log into and experience via goggles and earphones.
- This biolinguistic virus is called Snow Crash, and those who make the mistake to look at it see "a living wall of light, like a flexible, flatscreened television set, and it's not showing anything at all. Just static. White noise. Snow" Using Stephenson's book as a frame of reference, Rorty moves on to proclaim this kind of instrumental rationality – KNOWINGNESS - as the fundamental problem of how people learn and teach today a skills toolkit as well as a sense of wonder we need to comprehensively think through how technologies, media, people and nature intra-act.
- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raoul_Vaneigem media life is a life where we observe ourselves live this in turn enables and powers a reflective position vis-à-vis our own behavior our argument is that this position should always be aesthetic and ethical, like the Bil’in/Avatar example: it is fun and seriously consequential at the same time. 4. and this is how we need to look at ourselves in order to be able to take responsibility for our desires
