.."not a false rationality, but a true rationality of *this* pathology, of
*this madness,* for the machine does work, be sure of it. There is no danger
of this machine going mad, it has been mad from the beginning and that's
where its rationality comes from. Like theology: everything about it is
rational if you accept sin, immaculate conception, incarnation. Underneath
all reason lies delirium, drift." (Capitalism: A Very Special Delirium,
Deleuze/Guattari [www])

 "Truth wants to give herself naked. She is desperately seeking nudity, like
Madonna...but the fact is that this nudity wraps it in a second skin...there
is no longer any need even of bachelors to strip her bare, since she has
herself given up 'tromp l'oleil for striptease. Reality is a bitch. That is
hardly surprising, since it is the product of stupidity's fornication with
the spirit of calculation -- the dregs of the sacred illusion offered up to
the jackals of science."
             (Baudrillard, The Perfect Crime)
