self-dissolution in the network
     По попущению Отца Небесного нанесло на рассуждение Евгения Горного, включившего перевод давнего соображения. Остраняющий эффект перевода, кажется, делает силу ума еще очевидней, да и перевод ее очевидным образхом канонизирует, так что спишу из тщеславия себе на память:
     Here is the double-purpose weapon, a weapon of liberation, though still on trial. But already in operation. A fancy collage where, say, a poem to a girl about the ontology of names alternates for some reason with restaurant episodes, portrays a personality so many-sided that these sides become smoothed away by their multiplicity – and where Eugene Gorny is? He is dissolved in fact and fables. Out of namarupa [name and form – Sanskrit] only nama has remained – but does the name has ontology? An immature mind tied with passions to the peg of ego would imagine here a dossier on itself, and urge his empty host to go and search mentions of himself in search engines – how can it be that some Gorny exists more than I do? This hunger is insatiable, and he will need to store up this hay himself, to sow and mow, in sweat, with fiery eyes, to generate virtual boys and girls writing about themselves, and to have his picture taken with a pope, to paint pictures, play music and give interviews. But it would be better to examine closely Gorny’s portrait from the beginning: there is no him, as there is neither Leibov nor Lebedev [creative figures of Russian internet]. Mirrors, and the Net, and TENETA give way to prove to ourselves again and again that in fact there is no "self".
