As the Nogoland network is growing up, the no-go areas gradually disappear from public space. As they do not depend any more on the laborious classes, members of the upper classes of the world are more close to each other than they are to the “abandoned” classes of their own country. The best possible example of this trend is the population we belong to that frequents international symposiums (Degoutin 2004).

Take things step by step and resist the siren song that sings about some other route where everything goes smoothly and events are always exciting and meaningful. In making a beginning, you can become so invested in the results that whatever you have to do to reach them looks pretty insignificant. Trudging from appointment to appointment, licking stamps, adding columns of figures, making reminder phone calls, and explaining your idea for the hundredth time—these are the trivia from which vital new ventures finally emerge. But by comparison with the goal, they seem hopelessly dull.
