The General Theory of Unemployment, No Interest and No Money


the beginning of laissez-faire, or economic possibilities for our grand llamas
mikael johani
 
'miles away in lima
i cocked the tip of my peruvian hat
to a shadow of you
in the corner of a deserted market'



the measure of ego: an inquiry into the index numbers of its self-inflation:
mikael johani and nicholas agafonoff

agaforce
sounds like ... you were remembering someone who no longer is ... very lonely it feels

mikalejohain
i was just trying to get her to hire my llama

agaforce
i don't get that
are you just kidding
what's a llama

mikalejohain
its those half donkey half ostrich animals they use as couriers

agaforce
i see, so you are selling llamas
the shadow is a potential customer
maybe a tourist from distant seas

mikalejohain
maybe

agaforce
and there is some despair because the marketplace is poor

mikalejohain
globalization and things

agaforce
and the tourist becomes a strange spiritual creature that the locals loathe but have to prostitute themselves and their culture to in order to subsist

mikalejohain
most kids wear baseball hats now
thrown away their fedoras

agaforce
there's co-creation in post-modernity

mikalejohain
yep whoring is a lonely life

agaforce
i like that you take the position of the llama seller
it evokes a whole other subjective experience that is remarkably detailed and sympathetic
quite political too in a beautiful and precise way
