Flash mob versus the flaneur

On going it alone...

"The old man," I said at length, "is the type and the genius of deep crime. He refuses to be alone. He is the man of the crowd. It will be in vain to follow, for I shall learn no more of him, nor of his deeds."

The flaneur is still in search of the little hidden areas."

"...the distinctiveness of the flaneur resides precisely in his refusal to become part of the crowd."

"A metaphor seems to harbour in the modern nothingness: the non-contradiction principle (by which carrying out a possibility excludes its opposite) simply doesn't work anymore."
