Capital is a result of labor, and is used by labor to assist it in further production. Labor is the active and initial force, and labor is therefore the employer of capital. ↗

You can make a very good argument that society would be much worse off if you let 10 rapists and murderers free rather than put one poor, wrongly accused accountant in prison.

That is very different from how it used to be in the 20th century. Media was very one way. There's a small little industry.

I think that's healthy and actually restoring a more natural way. ↗

Celebrities become divas because they get pampered so much, babied so much - then they get used to it. ↗

I'm remixing an R.E.M. track called 'I've Been High' from their last album, 'Reveal.' It's a beautiful song, but record execs didn't put it out as a single because it didn't sound like the R.E.M. we're used to. So I asked Michael Stipe if I could have the tapes to do a remix, and he agreed. ↗
