Reading Josephine Quinn's "How the world made the west" I found that the written language as well as a lot of bronze casting and other things which were at the time really advanced technology, were mostly used for the advantage of the rich. After the Bronze age collapse, even written language […]

When art and "theory" mystifies instead of revealing the process of social production, it is doing the work of reproducing #capitalism. No wonder it's funded! This happens a lot in science art and especially with #AI. Prime example of this mess: the #antikythera project […]

Debatt: Vem värdesätter egentligen Sveriges söner?
Ebba Busch skriver i Dagens Nyheter att Sverige behöver en ny sorts manlighet – disciplinerad och redo att gå ut i krig. Det beskrivs som ett sätt att visa omsorg om pojkar. Men vad säger det egentligen om hur vi värderar mäns liv, när manlighet definieras som viljan att dö? Det skriver vår ordförande i en ...

Jag har lyckats lämna ännu en tjänst som fram tills helt nyligen kändes helt oumbärlig i mitt liv och som jag hade mycket svårt att se hur jag skulle kunna lämna – Spotify. Här kommer jag att gå igenom lite vad jag tänkte innan, under och efter att jag bytte till ett bättre alternativ.

Progressives waste time pretending our salvation is “messaging.” Our problem is that we have no way to distribute messages that can be heard above the near-ubiquity of MAGA media. 100,000 Substacks and TikToks are not a message delivery system. They’re a message diffusion system.

India: millions of workers go on strike to defend workers’ rights
Today, millions of workers across India—from both formal and informal sectors and from rural and urban areas—went on strike and took to the streets to defend their rights, which have been severely undermined under the current right-wing government.The countrywide general strike was called by the Joint Platform of Central Trade Unions in India, along with sectoral and independent federations and farmers’ organizations to intensify the fight against the government’s anti-labour policies.

Of course, modelling (more is different) and not "exact simulation" is the paradigm. However just accurate simulation of neurons or the nematode worm as a complex system, shows the difficulties for those wanting unified/exhaustive models of complexity. Especially cognition (see earlier posts).

It takes 10 hours on a laptop accurately simulating 5 seconds of a worm wiggling: archive.is/0j2Jp (and we still cannot simulate more than 20-30 #quantum particles exactly). Please be humble when the universe is present! #modeling #complexity (through @loriemerson )

Nunes however would never rule out these tactics in themselves but rather propose we think about an "ecology of political practices" of technopolitics. Eg. how could Luddite sabotage or perma-computing work side by side with parties and governance building parallell tech stacks?

Ricardo Nunes "horizontalism vs verticalism" holds for technopolitics too? Feral/perma-computing, artisanal unbloated and prefigurative software, luddist sabotage. Vs tech-keynesian fully automated AI positive stack geopolitics. Both fetishize org. form and are reactive melancholic towards other?
