Wonder how Ugie's gonna vote on this one?
Unlike Reason, who fears only the TMC avatar, Ugie fears the man behind the avatar.

I don't really think I'm all that NOW, really. I like to think of myself as inherently connected to both the mid-19th century zeitgeist, as embodied in its preoccupation with structural economic critique, and the late 19th century zeitgeist, as embodied in the triumph of the unconscious and the rise of psychoanalytic theory. Ultimately these antithetical philosophical trends--rational materialist thought and the understanding of the irrational as generative of social meaning, are dialectically linked through Hegelian idealism--turned on its head.

Nas, on the other hand, with his manifest obsession with statistics, is much closer to being NOW than I, though his transparent belief in a numerical, rational and rationalized reality owes more to the early 20th century and the Principles of Scientific Management laid out thence.

Some would argue that Mr. Reason is the true leviathan of this bracket, but methinks his Hobbesian understanding of society as a "war of all against all" renders him a bit passe, even if the neoliberal agenda currently seeks to lustfully, if not nostalgically, revive this social vision.

Perhaps good dolphin, then, will emerge as the champion of the know-it-alls. His talent for rational discourse, combined with his evidently insatiable appetites, truly identifies him as a man of the moment. He longs for and understands a freedom he cannot achieve, coddles his senses while wishing he could tame them, and resents himself for not giving himself over to their liberation. In good dolphin we see the idealism of democracy and the folly of empire, the pleasure of hedonism and the beauty of asceticism--always and never. Can anyone be more now than this enigma we call good dolphin?

If it's not too much trouble, that'd be HUGELY cool of you!

I managed to weasel my way up to the second row for the Summerfest show, which was outstanding. It was really strange exchanging stares with Jay Farrar....

Their hour set begins at 1:30, hopefully I'll be out of work by then. If I can make it over, I'll do my best to get some video for ya.

If it's any consolation, I can only get in when I wave Nas's W-2 around.

If you are really looking for the winner of this bracket, I believe that we could all agree that as know it all's go TM should be directly placed in the Final Four for this bracket. :wink:
