Steal This Meme: You Know Me

 

“Monster in face, monster in soul.”

Friedrich Nietzsche, Twilight of the Idols

As Clay Shirky, author of Here Comes Everybody, puts it, “The stupidest possible creative act is still a creative act.” Words to live by in the latter days of the Internet Age. Steal this meme.
