Meta_Guest says, "that should have been "

what does that should have been mean"

"Meta_Guest says, "I like the end piece can't cut and paste with this particular telnet, but I think the paper gets more interesting towards the end"

Meta_Guest says, "a self made paradise embeded , same thing in pornography the dream of freuds destruction of differentiation between self and mother "

what do you think he means by dream"

"Meta_Guest says, "the dream that we are ultimately powerful in a narcissistic state or world but the other side of the coin is death"

i felt it was like a story that does not have an answer"

Meta_Guest says, "the computer offers us this narcissistic possibility if even if it is rather simplistic and obvious"

i am sitting here looking at the screen"

Meta_Guest says, "where you looking for an answer "

Meta_Guest says, " the monitor always has your reflection

you look for answers as an ongoing desire to find out what the dream is about what is the meaning of dreams"

am aware of what I type as to what is being said"

Meta_Guest says, "I would be a bit worried about knowing all of my answers perhaps I would stop making art"

trying to find the answer is what you do of course there in no answer

its the looking"

no I dont think so"

it depends what you mean by category"

Meta_Guest says, "yes the computer is the perfect vehicle or rather all materials are the perfect vehicle for interactions between personal and public but haven't these categories also changed"

categories are always being reinvented"

"Meta_Guest says, "yes the new technologies have changed these categories and impacted upon our way of think "

the impact is also latent"

Meta_Guest says, "to think these things about possibility is this not thinking before our time"

it is about envisaging"
