  1. > I don’t want to fake you out
    Take or shake or forsake you out
    I ain’t lookin’ for you to feel like me
    See like me or be like me
    All I really want to do
    Is, baby, be friends with you.

  2. > Call them illogical, hypocritical, incredibly ignorant, or whatever you wish, but please say all that to yourself, in your own mind, if you must utter it at all. Please don’t rail that at them. Don’t curse them. Don’t ridicule them. That was our biggest mistake in 1968. My point is, please work to make them your allies, maybe not all of them, but most. Hit them with evidence... with logic... with reasoning... with morality (but not holier than thou moralism).

  3. #MichaelAlbert on certain Marxists and also post -modernists to a degree: “The masquerade - the turning of what you do: research, or writing, or whatever it is - into something that appears to be much harder than it really is is repulsive. And I do think that lots of people have in fact done that.”

  4. A research article presents simulations of the democratically planned economies with encouraging results:

    “…we explore one of these democratic planning models–#RobinHahnel and #MichaelAlbert’s model of a #ParticipatoryEconomy, focusing in particular on its allocation mechanism–a non-market, non-command-planning procedure known as participatory planning.”

    After an overview of #parecon, the article offers experts the full #simulation model and future prospects.

  10. > So you see, I claim that work in a duly ordered community should be made attractive by the consciousness of usefulness, by its being carried on with intelligent interest, by variety, and by its being exercised amidst pleasurable surroundings.

    - #WilliamMorris quoted in
    #LookingForward by #MichaelAlbert and #RobinHahnel one of their #PareconBooks for thinking about a vision of a decent society. #Work #DecentWork

  11. There are a good number of great quotes in _Looking Forward_.:

    > There are really not many jobs that actually require a penis or a vagina, and all other occupations should be open to everyone.

    - #GloriaSteinem

  12. > ... to judge both traditional and new economic institutions, we will ask whether they subvert or promote:
    1. Efficiency ..
    2. Equity ..
    3. Self-management ..
    4. Solidarity ..
    5. Variety (defined as a diversity of outcomes).
    We will also ask if economic institutions impose any biases on individual choice that impede these five aims by charging people other than the true social opportunity costs for activities.

  13. #ArtificialIntelligence has rapidly evolved into a powerful #technology. While some fear #AI’s potential for harm, others see its potential for positive impact, from curing diseases to enhancing creativity.

    - What are AI's capabilities?
    - Will AI displace jobs?
    - Can AI blurre human functions?

    An essay from #MichaelAlbert suggests a precautionary approach, and emphasises the need for regulations to ensure responsible deployment.
