The PDF is upside down:(
But is that marginalia or mutilation????
Right click on the image and there is a rotate option (:
It’s a lot more damaging than “emineminem” isn’t it?*
Max
* = m ‘n’ m ‘n’ m, i.e. “merely marginal mutilation”
Some of these marginalia are wonderful, eg:
“Petty bourgeois s–t!”
“it is almost impossible to believe that people, human beings supposedly intelligent, can actually [believe?] such a load of cr-p!”
Hey Dave and Wendy, thanks for sharing these! Never a dull day in a library like this, is there?
Plus ça change, plus c’est la même chose (sorry, I don’t know how to write that in Homeric Greek)
Nice quote, John – “the more things change, the more they stay the same.” On the other hand, it’s not beyond belief that the most major threats currently facing us humans are of a different order to the “same old, same old” changes of the past … the ubiquitous spread of artificial intelligence, for one thing, may suit the managerialist ethos for a few years, but it may also end up destroying humanity and human civilization as we know it.
Not that I want to sound like those medieval nutters who went round with signs proclaiming “The end of the world is nigh!” Or on second thoughts, maybe it is nigh! Care to join me out on the streets with one of those signs? (Just kidding, of course!)
