Re: The cost of the cost of knowledge

That was an awesome post. I'm just having a hard time understanding
your -- what seems to me to be -- elitism. Do you want people to
read Evola or not? Or only the "right" people? People who come to
it through this somewhat mystical magnetic attraction.

I guess I'm somewhat pedestrian in my thinking. I have this notion
that people write books and articles because they're interested in
conveying a set of ideas. And that in order for those ideas to be
conveyed, there would have to be this concomitant action on the part
of readers. Of actually obtaining and reading the tracts the author
sat down to compose.

Again, Evola is now diseased. Wondering whether he would have
preferred to have his books read or unread, or read only by a chosen
few, is rhetorical and senseless. It's out of his hands at this
point. The decision will be made by us. I vote to make them
available. Others may try to surprises them. In either case, if
Evola didn't want people to read him, then it would have been
smarter never to have picked up a pen, let alone written for
publication in newspapers.

This is all rather making my head hurt, to tell you the truth. I'm
certainly not talking about ripping off your excellent exclusive
translations of his previously-untranslated articles. I don't want
to deprive anybody of well-deserved compensation for their labor.
I'm basically only concerned with this one tome, "Men Among the
Ruins," which I understand to be his seminal political work. It's
the best thing of its kind I've ever seen, and it's a crime not to
make it available on the Internet.

This dispute is academic, because the writings of POLITICAL interest are not the ones that the Jewish firm Inner Traditions is reprinting....

Actually, Mr. Blaine, we understood your position perfectly well the first time; it is you who fails to understand much of anything. It is your utter ignorance...

Your tone, Toni, is so entirely condescending as to be baiting. Utterly and unnecessarily pompous. ... amuses us. Yeah, I haven't read them yet. That's true....

In all fairness, Mr Blaine did not claim that 'copyright' was a Semitic notion. Yet, as recalled by an author who has studied the history of copyright, a...
