   Not completely sold on Zizek yet. Smart, yeah, but provocative in the way a clever contrarian can be provocative — and he even admits that. He puts out so much work, though, that he tends to get a little sloppy in his research when mischaracterizing something helps him make a larger point. (Had to study him in grad school.)

   But please please please — could you follow through on a discussion about what happened with Disinformation? I dig Richard Metzger’s new Dangerous Minds site, but have never heard what he has to say about the path Disinfo has gone down (almost becoming the kind of thing he might have toyed with and teased in the early Disinfo days). How did Disinfo become Info Wars Lite? Is there something to be said about establishing an intellectual property, letting it go, and that property’s “shadow self” overtaking it?

   Discuss. (please.)

   (and thank you.)

   I’d actually like to hear the same as mxyzplk. I’ve followed Disinfo since college in the 90′s, I know something of Richard Metzger (e.g., Infinity Factory), but I’m not in the loop with respect to who is behind the site and how it came to take on such a negativistic, political focus.

   I know you guys don’t want to alienate Disinfo fans by trashing the site, but I think people would be interested in your constructive input as, you know, edgy counterculture guru guys. The Disinfo website doesn’t have a section to talk about Disinfo; I contribute there and I don’t have a clue who the people who run the site are, or what their plans and desires might be.

   I’d love for you guys to open the conversation a bit. It needs to happen somewhere.

   Sounds like a plan. I’ll see if we can slip it into an episode
