The
WTO is committed to an ethic of refraining to act: not doing nothing,
but rather not doing. The problems of our day derive from too much, rather
than too little. Here not even an economy of declining growth can change
anything.

Wasting one’s talent
is the last chance for practising resistance in life: self-non-realization,
or the refusal to realize potentials – of course to the best ends
for an asserted self – and not to transform them into an exhaustible
resource. The derelict fields of potential, teeming with unknown flora and
fauna, remain untouched (ultimately we are committed to ecology). The fragile
balance of current and future identity habitats is retained. So no more
overexploitation of the unknown with its excessive mono-management by a
culture of expertise! Instead: universal extravagance, without direction,
without aims, and most of all without moderation! This means: excessive,
universal dilettantism. WTO, the organization of wasted talents, determined
not to promote their talents and not to exploit them at all. The organization’s
highest principle is its own disorganization, and pursuing distraction is
the highest organizational principle. Do not create institutes, and above
all, do not create institutions!
2A.
To anticipate the inevitable
failure of any resistance: after paying attention to the culture industry’s
tenderly distributing hand, the WTO (wasted-talents.org), faced with historical
inevitability (precisely in accordance with the Marxist-teleological understanding
of history), is embarking on transforming itself into the WTO (wasting-talent.org),
and this is organizing the international architecture industry’s great
waste of talent. This needs conquest, and also no conquest.

The fact that the WTO is not
aware of this process explains the threatening success of neo-liberal exploitation
logic (but this is old hat).

Anyway, just keep it going
… We should not allow ourselves to be misled by the fact that
the name WTO is being retained, partly from habit and partly because: if
you’ve once made a name for yourself …
