the divine right of kings during the holy roman empire for instance "there is a super intelligence which exceeds the power of us the human, and could be destructive, causing loss of harvest and war with the barbarians, i the king, have special insight and custody of the laws"?

100

what do you think the singularity is? (an artificial - that is human created - 'of artifice' ... intelligence - that exceeds the human capacity of an individual or even a group?) is this something new? isn't it the fetishism of God marx critiqued in hegel and noticed in the material conditions?

100

So I am guessing you must be from .us where karl marx is a taboo name like the unabomber or osama bin laden & not on bibliographies of people that have to understand structure of economy and relation to state like hedge fund managers.

100

Or read Hannah Arendt who called it in 1954

It’s the old myth of kings in Holy Roman Empire - there’s God and I have divine right to keep safe and understand and commune with his intelligence Outside in different cultures languages countries etc things look real different - but yeah big heart for the states right now

There’s no singularity it’s just capital capture of state power

like that's the thing I have some experience in with the housing co-ops - having people work together and understand the co-op structure (like how you the workers and clients now own it - in co-op it was how you the renters and now the land lord etc). And make it simple & straight forward. ...

000

but like the thing woudl be like "can get a co-op structure where like 4-5 staff who already NDIS workers can hush hush talk among self, pay the $400 file and then the next day be running same with same clients and immediate improvement in conditions for them and & people serve" if can do that...

100

then: the co-operatives party, it's both the agrarian left, and in cities care sector / casualised service work in form of co-ops, flank labour to the left, rip heart out one nation/nationals in country, facists go, flat structure autonomous governed locally,democratic centralism for national only

100

like I keep thinking about it because if got 1 going for 15-25 peolpe it's totally one of those things that could work "for n" and in lots other states and sectors (veterans, aged care, job providers) one disability community and if it got it right - when its at 5-10 of them ... critical mass

100

because they are the literal owners of it on paper (co-op ltd, not pty ltd) etc at same time it's clear and free of corruption and conflict of interest since they can't appropriate the funds but they can retain them in interests of their community etc

100

for it to work for staff they have to see immediately better culture and conditions and empowerment in their work and for clients less that feeling they in transactional management of 'employees' and more they got agency (now they decide the direction of the org with others community / like them)

100

"taxpayers" also happy as the funds are retained in the community not into private coffers and there to serve the agency of the people & communities the very reason for being of the NDIS in the first place etc

100

it's one of those things if it can work for like 4-5 staff and 20 "clients" (*that name may change*) and because profits retained both clients and staff see instant rise in conditions and level of care AND probably NDIA see more efficient use of funds, if it works once it will work "for n"

100

asher maybe I come to melbourne, i work on the co-op governance side and trying to get it down to really simple and well governed (I have experience there) and you the NDIS side - we start a model of non-trading co-ops where members are both the staff & clients profits retained for community served

is there like example where this happens like picking polar co-ordinate vs cartesian or we're talking "pass these 3-4 courses and ask this again in 2 years" hehe

000

what equation or theory is that? and that's different to picking a kind of space? (euclidian, minkowskian, random escher painting etc) is a geometry is relative to a *particular space*?

100

that ones embodied a.f. though

000

what about wholesome co-ordinate systems though? - like I thin of sailors using a sextant and time and how a second in time corrresponds to a second on the earth ... tuned in to the positions of the sun and moon (to get time) - i mean - "seems wholesome"

Oh! be so interesting what you're thinking behind that... is it like... we're all good with finding out causes or conditions for how certain phenomena obtain but when we do that we'll just pretend there's this disembodied god-like observer that's nowhere in the picture & not part of those conditions

Louise is 71, on the pension, and terrified of her next rent rise. Her story is one I hear from older Queenslanders all the time. If you live alone, the pension doesn't cover living costs. No income support payment does.

30 years of solitary confinement for a murder committed when she was 17? What justice is that? That's state cruelty. Free Christa Pike! www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Christa Pike is conscious and speaking after botched execution attempt, lawyers say

The prisoner received two doses of pentobarbital as authorities tried to put her to death on 30 September

word for activist in french: militant

'masking' - term introduced into psychiatry from Franz Fanon in - Black Skin, White Masks like i'm interested in french *for this reasoN* looking for perspectives on almost the same culture (but not) but 1 step removed, like a second eye to get some perspective

like sort of two eyes looking at same thing a perspective - its close enough and simular enough but also distant enough can kinda see whats actually just some local to california concepts that are pervasive in the anglophone world - some views of individuality, self etc and what is different

000

dan @djon3s.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

part of my interest in french is a bit about the way theres pretty close culture to anglophone culture and can learn about the culture i'm in but find just that slight distinct removal or perspective - like searching for terms of reference like the language of Franz Fanon, simon weil, etc
