steven "fucking" kurtz

brings that real shit...
so, just saw steve lecture at carnegie mellon today. he mostly talked about his work, not his case. for those of you that don't know about his case, he is basically being charged with 5-20 years in prison for a friend at the university of pittsburgh biology department ordering him some harmless bacteria for use in a performance art piece about chemical warfare.

he stated that friendship and delegation of expertise we're critical aspects of his group's collaborative success, when questioned about the methods for removing the "internalized expression control" our culture induces. i thanked him for his recommendation of "islamic heresies" to me years before i discovered sufism, largely through rumi and the work of idries shah.
