Und darunter liegt die Annahme, dass der Mensch von Natur aus wild und gefährlich ist und zivilisiert werden muss. Und dieses Narrativ ist eines der wichtigsten Narrative der Rechten. Das ist quasi die Basis. Ob diese Annahme stimmt - tut sie nicht by the way - ist unerheblich, sie ist (unhinterfragte) Grundannahme rechten Denkens.

As alread David Graebers elder classic "Debts - the first 5000 years" ("Schulden - die ersten 5000 Jahre"). Latter I consider as one of the books of the century.

@BlumeEvolution

Ich teile die Erfahrung, dass sehr viel Israelkritik antisemitisch motiviert ist. Da ich im Medienteam von Extinction Rebellion Austria bin, möchte ich ein Statement verlinken, dass wir nach dem Hamas-Attentat vom 7. Oktober formuliert haben: https://xrebellion.at/2023/11/07/positionierung-zur-xr-global-nahost-solidaritaetserklaerung/

Der Antisemitismus-Vorwurf kann aber, gerade weil er oft zutrifft, auch undifferenziert dazu benutzt werden linke oder andere unbequeme Positionen zu denunzieren. Dieter Nuhr tut das in seiner Rede, und damit schadet er dem Preis, den er bekommen hat. Im Grunde verwendet er alte Manipulationstechniken, um Greta Thunberg und die Fridays for Future zum einen als antisemitisch und zum anderen als zivilisationsfeindlich zu denunzieren.

Vielleicht darf ich, ohne dass das anmaßend ist, einen Text zitieren, den David Graeber vor 10 Jahren geschrieben hat:

The problem is that exploiting Jewish issues in ways guaranteed to create rancor, panic, and resentment is itself a form of antisemitism. (This is true whether or not the architects are fully aware of what they’re doing.) [https://www.opendemocracy.net/en/first-time-my-life-im-frightened-be-jewish/]

Muss man diese Ausbeutung nicht auch Nuhr vorwerfen, wenn er so wie in seiner Rede gegen einen großen Teil der Klimabewegung polemisiert?

What Leads to Administrative Bloat?

I’ve commented many times before on this blog about runaway expenditure on management resulting in the diversion of resources away from the core missions of a university, i.e. teaching and research, while producing no significant improvement in the efficiency, and indeed often a deterioration, of administrative processes. David Graeber wrote a book called Bullshit Jobs about this phenomenon. Management response to this is generally to assert that this administrative bloat is a response to regulatory burden. Many of us working in higher education would instead argue that the entire sector has been hijacked by self-serving parasites who are deliberately sucking the lifeblood out of the system.

I just came across a paper on the Physics and Society section of arXiv that tries to explain management bloat from the point of view of systems theory. The title is What Leads to Administrative Bloat? A Dynamic Model of Administrative Cost and Waste, the authors are Vicky Chuqiao Yang and Levi Grenier of MIT and the abstract is here:

The functioning of complex systems depends on the coordination of diverse components, often supported by regulatory structures that incur costs. In human organizations, such costs manifest as administrative burden, which has been rising despite often reducing efficiency. Classic explanations point to bureaucrat self-interest or regulation, yet they do not explain variation across organizations or clarify how this burden can be reduced. Here, we develop a dynamical model of administrative growth that integrates known behavioral mechanisms of process creation, obsolescence, and removal. The model conceptualizes processes as developed for problem solving, but becoming obsolete as conditions change, while continuing to consume resources until actively pruned. This interplay generates two long-term outcomes: stable equilibrium or run-away growth. The threshold separating these outcomes is shaped by organizations’ propensity to create new processes when faced with problems, and their propensity to prune obsolete ones in response to administrative burden. Importantly, their effects are asymmetric: sufficiently high creation propensity leads to bloat regardless of pruning propensity. Faster environmental change shifts this threshold, making bloat more likely. Simulations of interventions show that lasting reductions in administrative costs and waste require permanent shifts in priorities and investments in distinguishing obsolete from useful processes. Temporary efforts or indiscriminate cuts provide only short-lived relief, and counterintuitively, prioritizing direct production can increase waste. Our work highlights a general mechanism by which well-intentioned problem-solving can create self-reinforcing inefficiencies in complex systems, offering insights possibly generalizable to broader applications, such as legal, policy, and software systems where obsolete elements accumulate.

Here’s a a figure from the paper that provides ample illustration of the problem:

You will find a similar phenomenon on display at universities across the world. In my view this is a large part of the crisis engulfing higher education in the United Kingdom.

It’s an interesting paper, based on a very simple model. The authors also suggest various ways in which this burden could be reduced. The problem with that is that there is no incentive at all for The Management (who hold all the power) to improve the situation, as that would involve eliminating the bullshit jobs held by many of their cronies. With university governance structures notoriously weak and compliant, who manages the Managers? The most likely response from my University would be to appoint a new Vice-President for Self-reinforcing Inefficiency…

David Graeber attempted an answer in his 2015 book The Utopia of Rules. Particularly in an essay first published in 2012, entitled Of Flying Cars and the Declining Rate of Profit;

"Given a choice between a course of action that would make capitalism seem the only possible economic system, and one that would transform capitalism into a viable, long-term economic system, neoliberalism chooses the former every time."

RE: https://tldr.nettime.org/@tante/116454270791245630

been thinking about #DavidGraeber a lot lately. i think the Venn Diagram of people trapped in #BullshitJobs and aisloppers is a circle.

i would bet you that if people could earn a living without a bullshit job ―and, yes, a lot of tech work is bullshit― they’d have whole careers and lives outside of this capitalist hellscape.

capitalists are using #AI to gaslight us into believing we need them as the middlemen between our lives and a life worth living.

it’s a lie.

cut the middlemen out.

Some *light* reading -- history and prophecy...

I read #FrankWaters "#TheBookOfTheHopi" many years ago, but misplaced my old copy. Refreshing myself on #HopiProphecy and what it all means for the times we are living in.

#EricCline's "#1177BC" has been a good read. I'm finding his chapter about a "perfect storm of calamities" to be relevant to the age we are living in now, especially with regard to #ClimateCrisis and #Polycrisis.

Graeber/Wengrow's "#TheDawnOfEverything" has taken me a while to get through... So much to take in. Learning about power and systems of power and their origins.

"The Occult Features of #Anarchism" by #EricaLagalisse also deals with systems of power -- and how #MutualAid is part of true autonomy (I agree).

David Graeber named something that changes how the work feels: the world is not inevitable. It is made — by what people build, invest in, and refuse. Which means the communities forming right now, choosing different values under real pressure, aren't peripheral. They're part of how things actually change.

#DavidGraeber's List of Bullshit Jobs:

"Graeber states that more than half of societal work is pointless, both large parts of some jobs and five types of entirely pointless jobs:

- Flunkies, who serve to make their superiors feel important, e.g., receptionists, administrative assistants, door attendants, store greeters;
- Goons, who act to harm or deceive others on behalf of their employer, or to prevent other goons from doing so, e.g., lobbyists, corporate lawyers, telemarketers, public relations specialists;
- Duct tapers, who temporarily fix problems that could be fixed permanently, e.g., programmers repairing shoddy code, airline desk staff who calm passengers with lost luggage;
- Box tickers, who create the appearance that something useful is being done when it is not, e.g., survey administrators, in-house magazine journalists, corporate compliance officers, academic administration;
- Taskmasters, who create extra work for those who do not need it, e.g., middle management, leadership professionals."

Came across this in a post about #SolarPunk a few weeks ago (post may be gone)... Anyhow, I've been reading #DavidGraeber and #DavidWengrow's book, "The Dawn of Everything," and thought the question posited by #Graeber was relevant to #SolarPunkSunday...

Are You An #Anarchist? The Answer May Surprise You!

"Every time you treat another human with consideration and respect, you are being an anarchist. Every time you work out your differences with others by coming to reasonable compromise, listening to what everyone has to say rather than letting one person decide for everyone else, you are being an anarchist. Every time you have the opportunity to force someone to do something, but decide to appeal to their sense of reason or justice instead, you are being an anarchist. The same goes for every time you share something with a friend, or decide who is going to do the dishes, or do anything at all with an eye to fairness"

David Graeber, The Ultimate Hidden Truth of the World, p 243, published 2009

"Chances are you have already heard something about who anarchists are and what they are supposed to believe. Chances are almost everything you have heard is nonsense. Many people seem to think that anarchists are proponents of violence, chaos, and destruction, that they are against all forms of order and organization, or that they are crazed nihilists who just want to blow everything up. In reality, nothing could be further from the truth. Anarchists are simply people who believe human beings are capable of behaving in a reasonable fashion without having to be forced to. It is really a very simple notion. But it’s one that the rich and powerful have always found extremely dangerous.

At their very simplest, anarchist beliefs turn on to two elementary assumptions. The first is that human beings are, under ordinary circumstances, about as reasonable and decent as they are allowed to be, and can organize themselves and their communities without needing to be told how. The second is that power corrupts. Most of all, anarchism is just a matter of having the courage to take the simple principles of common decency that we all live by, and to follow them through to their logical conclusions. Odd though this may seem, in most important ways you are probably already an anarchist — you just don’t realize it.

Let’s start by taking a few examples from everyday life."
