mircea_popescu: This was too much for Termen's boss, who took all of Termen's musical instruments outside and chopped them up with an axe. “Electricity is only good for making electric chairs,” he explained. And that was the end of Termen's university career.
mircea_popescu: "In the late 60's, Termen left spy work and got a university job doing acoustical research. One day a visiting Western journalist ran in to Termen, and unfortunately reported the fact that he was still alive in the New York Times.

mircea_popescu: "here's what some libertard that's been on the internet all her lyf thinks a guy who's not would say"
mircea_popescu: really badly written, too. "When I first responded to you, I didn't think that it would cause people to reach out to me and voice their opinions.
