* TAZ is ``Ontological'' Anarchy -- something you do
in the ``Here and Now'', not a lofty philosophy or far-away goal
( despite Bey's philisopophical rantings )

* TAZ is a reaction to the banality of our society and its boringness

* a TAZ is secret & closed & intensely pleasurable for its members

* but at the same time, it wants to expand & multiply until it infects [the universe]


* illegality means more than mere law-breaking...
/i The criminal's tragedy, however, lies in being nearly [meerly?] the opposite of the cop


* /big ```It's about the Organic Turnips'''

* When the rest of society figures out what you're getting away with,
by the time the authorities come to stamp it out,
you've already scattered and joined another
/b TAZ FORMING

* ... the Strange Attractor around which
memes accrue, chaotically forming new and spontaneous
orders. Here we have an ```aesthetics''' of the borderland between
chaos and order, the margin, the area of "catastrophe" where
