  1. An interesting post (Blog) from Prof. Murphy which gets the ‘little grey cells’ to ponder the; what ifs…

    “I want to find the answer to the question, what is our economy now all about?

    What is now clear is that it is not about creating further technologies that will forever be beyond human capacity to use. Instead, it has to be about how we advance human capability. It is only by investing in people, meeting their needs, and providing them with the freedom from fear that they need to explore their own capacity to live well that we can now see a rate of return on the resources available in this world. The amazing and useful coincidence is that by doing so, we can also avert the major consequences of climate change.”

  6. The End of the “Peace Dividend” and the Return of History

    #Identitypolitics, is what happens when liberalism turns inward and fragments - call it mad liberalism. #Culturewar is what happens when that same liberalism hardens and lashes out - bad liberalism. Both look like opposites, but they come from the same place. The uncomfortable part is both were pushed onto the "left" as the way to fight #neoliberalism the very system that’s been tearing apart the social fabric for decades. Instead of building collective power, we pushed endless identity […]

  7. [edited to add link to Guardian article source]

    How’s this for a complete and frank confession that the #Labor Govt is Wholy Owned by the #CorporateGiants making bucket loads of profit from #Raping the land and #Pillaging Australian #Resources:

    “Trade minister Don Farrell said on Friday “we’re not changing our policies in respect to gas” and that “the most important thing” was to honour existing export contracts.”

    Well, Mr #Farrell, for your information, the gas export contracts have nought to do with you or your govt. It is a #Commercial contract from which #Santos and others derive an outrageous profit. So if we were to #Tax that, it would reduce theirt bottom line by the same percentage without any change to the contracts they hold (unless they contain some cagey and dogey clauses — but that a commercial issue again and commercial law, nothing to do with the Govt.)

    Nothing more is needed from our govt to prove that #StateCapture is alive and thriving in Aus when a Trade Minister goes to bat for an #ExtrativeIndustry Private Corporation! You just wait until the next election or by-elections, we’ll teach you a thing or two.

  8. Quand la Chine oppose la géographie des liens à la géographie des lieux

    Par Xavier Carpentier-Tanguy

    « Lors des conflits, les belligérants ciblent désormais les flux et les infrastructures plutôt que les seuls territoires. Les États-Unis utilisent des leviers maritimes tandis que la Chine agit sur les chaînes industrielles, notamment par l’intermédiaire des intrants stratégiques. Cette combinaison redéfinit la puissance, qui dépend à présent en grande partie de la capacité à perturber les réseaux et à exploiter les dépendances mondiales. »

  9. Lifestyle choices?… call it what it is, #Advertising induced #BrainWashing #Consumerism. Living within our means (including planetary resource limits) is not in the #NeoLiberal mindset of #Grifters nor in the unfetted #Capitalism and #Globalisation handbook. Is the quality of life really enhanced in proportion to the amount of goods we consume or acquire? I think not.

    There’s nothing like retirement on a modest pension to make one come to their senses and see that a comfortable, happy and fruitful life can be had cheaply enough. It helps if working life is used to save, consume less with the environment in mind and asking a simple question: ‘do I really need this?’ before buying anything. Some goods are essential, most are not.

  10. RE: aus.social/@trif/1160039188882

    OMG! A wild ride… “Based off the newest tranche of emails and texts released by the Justice Department this weekend, Epstein, at the very least, believed that he was orchestrating the downfall of the global order in the 2010s. In June 2016, he emailed venture capitalist, early Facebook investor, and Palantir founder Peter Thiel, writing, “Brexit, just the beginning.” He then laid out the most succinct mission statement we currently have for what Epstein was trying to accomplish. “Return to tribalism,” he wrote. “Counter to globalization. Amazing new alliances. You and I both agreed zero interest rates were too high, and as I said in your office. Finding things on their way to collapse was much easier than finding the next bargain.” 😮

    Read that again: “Epstein… believed… he was orchestrating the downfall of the global order”.😐

    Been wondering ever since I read that terse email “Brexit, just the beginning” implying that #Epstein & #Thiel think they caused it. Now this rationale. ☝️

    Can this really be so? Or is this #billionaires delusion? How could we know, how could we test for the truth of this hypothesis?🤔

  15. How #worldorder looks after 2025
    "postwar order carried te seeds of its demise. Authority was concentrated in Western‑led institutions tt claimed to speak for te world. #US #hegemony often led to overreach & #hubris.. confidence in US model's superiority obscured reality of domestic decay.. 2008 #GFC was an early warning. US #policymakers stabilised te system but didn't repair it. #Inequality rose & #politics grew angrier.. #Globalisation entrenched a #lopsided bargain"🇺🇸🤦‍♂️

  16. "Modern civilisation has a number of extremely delicate and highly interconnected components whose graceful degradation is effectively impossible."

    It is "much easier to break things than to build them up. The government administrations of Britain, France and Germany for example, were set up at a time in the nineteenth century when the rising middle classes demanded a properly functioning state[…]. It took perhaps a generation for professional, neutral public services to fully emerge."

    "Forty years of globalised neoliberalism have broken our societies, our economies and our political systems, and we no longer have the ability to put them back together."

  17. “The one thing that can stop the rise of the far right is the one thing mainstream parties are currently not prepared to deliver: greater equality. The rich should be taxed more, and the revenue used to improve the lives of the poor. However frantically centrist parties avoid the issue, there is no other way.” (George Monbiot)

    Of course, it’s only come to this due to the lack of #taxReform , progressive social #legislation , and #FinancialRegulation action from all govt since the 2008 #GFC . #Neoliberalism ,#CorporateCapitalism and #Globalisation have been left unfettered to carry on this foolish race to the bottom.

  20. The tyranny of the algorithm: why every coffee shop looks the same

    "From the generic hipster cafe to the ‘Instagram wall’, the internet has pushed us towards a kind of global ubiquity – and this phenomenon is only going to intensify"

    "The homogeneity contrasted with the overall hipster philosophy of the 2010s, namely, that by consuming certain products and cultural artefacts you could proclaim your own uniqueness apart from the mainstream crowd – in this case a particular coffee shop rather than an obscure band or clothing brand. “The irony of it all is that these spaces are supposed to represent spaces of individuality, but they’re incredibly monotonous."

    "This homogenisation is not just a phenomenon of our own moment; it is a consequence of changes that happened long before algorithmic social media feeds, and is just as likely to intensify in the future."

    "When her cafe started selling coffee online, Facebook and Instagram seemed to throttle its reach – unless it bought advertising and boosted the social media company’s own profits. It felt like algorithmic blackmail: pay our toll or we won’t promote you."

    "The #globalisation of the #economy cannot be reduced to #offshoring, it also translates into the coexistence of different #legal regimes within the same territory. …[the] contribution to the local economy remain extremely low [and there is] the development of a parallel and #informalEconomy around #storage spaces. It is just one small step from a #freeZone to a grey area."

  22. A reminder for those celebrating the rise of #workingfromhome

    If you can do your job from anywhere, someone for anywhere can do your job!.

    #capitalism has a long history of finding cheap(er) labour & working from home has merely opened up the middle-class to the pressures the working class has been subjected to over decades of #globalisation

    The globalised 'efficiency' of such moves has had & continues to have major local consequences.

    Even for information workers, #offshoring is a thing!
