This was my thinking on the Fediverse a few years ago – building commons
The #Fediverse is an accidental reboot of the #openweb, it wasn't designed from the top down, it emerged because thousands of people built alternatives to the #dotcons. That's its greatest strength, it's also why it's so messy. Herding cats - the #Fediverse has no central authority, every project, server, and community has its own priorities, culture, and governance. It's often like herding cats. This can be frustrating, but it's also what makes the network resilient. There is no single […]https://hamishcampbell.com/this-was-my-thinking-on-the-fediverse-a-few-years-ago-building-commons/

Our failure to mediate the mess
The current #AI boom is built on a huge contradiction, you can see this in #mainstreaming terms. That AI companies are not paying the real costs of what they consume. They haven't paid for the copyrighted material they trained on. They haven't paid the environmental costs of the water and electricity they use. They haven't paid for the pressure they place on public infrastructure, or for the social costs of flooding the web with synthetic content. Yet AI services are sold below their true […] -
This paper examines poem "Death of a Philosopher" – a parody of postmodernist thinkers. It is shown how meter and allusions are used to turn an elegy into a conservative attack on postmodern. The poem's rhythm echoes "God's Judgment on a Bishop" – framing postmodernists as intellectual frauds deserving cosmic punishment.

#Nicenasty the hidden power of soft obstruction
People think in groups, that's normal. The mistake isn't group thinking itself, it's pretending we're all isolated individuals while still acting through tribes, identities, and social blocs. A lot of today's "common sense" comes from the #stupidindividualism group mindset. We are encouraged to see every problem through individual choices rather than collective realities. The real question isn't "how do we stop group thinking?" It's "what do we do with it?" This mess is something we need to […]https://hamishcampbell.com/nicenasty-the-hidden-power-of-soft-obstruction/

CW: Postmodernism's Hyperreal of Intelligence And The Unrequited Lovemaking Of The English Language. (but really it is about Moldbug)
Notice: This post is not about postmodernism's bad writing, but about Moldbug.
Brother sent me a 90 minutes documentary (read: opinion piece).
It was made entirely of stock footage and named "How Comedy Was Destroyed by an Anti-Reality Doomsday Cult" clearly (read: possibly) inspired by Adam Curtis's documentaries (read: opinion pieces) made entirely of stock footage - "All Watched Over by Machines of Loving Grace" and especially "HyperNormalisation". Instead of Adam Curtis's matter of a fact BBC English accented narrator voice, we have a stoner Murikan, which I am told is actually a Canadian, quipping along the way.
And he is using the term "hyperreal". It annoys me. The "hyperreal" is a weird neologism the narrator names the normal word "delusion". It is a virtual reality people go into in states of crisis. People who go into "hyperreality" (read: delusions) build their life around it and sometime have others for company, like an unfunny comedian opening a new comedy club just for him and his posse. In the video the narrator keeps talking about a cult leader (read: a famous podcasting comedian) opening a cult compound (read: comedy club) for his cultists (read: the famous comedian's posse and audience), prefering to believe in comfortable lies instead of harsh truths, followers pretending to laugh at jokes made by their dear leader that would leave normal people deadpan just to keep their cult leader's ego well petted and secure their position at the comedy club. As you already know, there is only one reality and many opinions each based on good or bad reasons. When you base your opinions on bad reasons you are deluding yourself, so when the cultists mentioned in the 90 minutes opinion piece go into "hyperreality" why not just call it "delusion" like a normal person?
The term "hyperreality" comes from a certain brand of pseudoscience called "Postmodernism". One of its well known problems is inventing words for words for which we already have words. The word "delusion" is one of those words which the new unecessary word "hyperreatily" was invented. The new words are often fancy long ones thrown into the mix as chaff, to confuse the reader into believing that a superior intellect had written it.
In closing, Postmodernism is trying too hard and needs to take some writing classes. It may benefit in reading this bit by George Orwell:
p.s. forget about postmodernism and all that crap! That's yesterday's news because Moldbug won! In the end of the video the stoner guy says J.D. Vance is one of Moldbug's avid readers and Moldbug's crap was hugely influential on the current Murikan politics. And even though Moldbug's crap was partially a sort of a reaction to postmodernism, postmodernism doesn't matter anymore, because Moldbug won! If you do not know who Moldbug is, it means we are doomed. So in closing closing, have a nice weekend.
p.s.s. Moldbug's Neoreactionary writing is at least on par with postmodernism's writing in terms of bad writing. They are dark mirrors of each other. The bad writers that killed liberal democracy. I like that. So in closing closing closing, have a nice evening.

Messy language feeds back into messy culture
Most people understand that culturally, and socially, we are in a growing nasty mess. The #blocking of action, the constant stalls, confusion, and fragmentation, has a lot to do with our use of language. And the deeper issue is how this messy language feeds back into culture, which then loops back to make the language even murkier. It’s a feedback loop that clouds meaning, erodes trust, and paralyses collective action. The last 40 years of postmodernism and neoliberalism made this worse.

End of the Road:
John Barth
American postmodernist novelist dies aged 93Along with William #Gass, Stanley #Elkins and other peers, #Barth was part of a wave of writers in the 1960s who challenged standards of language and plot.
The author of 20 books including Giles Goat-Boy and The Sot-Weed Factor, Barth was a college writing instructor who advocated for #postmodernism to literature, saying old forms were used up and new approaches were needed.
Barth’s passion for literary theory and his innovative but complicated novels made him a writer’s writer.
Barth said he felt like Scheherazade in The Thousand and One Nights, desperately trying to survive by creating literature.
He created a bestseller in 1966 with 🔹Giles Goat-Boy,🔹 which turned a college campus into a microcosm of a world threatened by the cold war, and made a hero of a character who is part goat.
The following year, he wrote a postmodern manifesto, 🔸The Literature of Exhaustion, 🔸which argued that the traditional novel suffered from a “used-upness of certain forms.”
The influential essay described the postmodern writer as one who “confronts an intellectual dead end and employs it against itself to accomplish new human work”.

Because it needs to be said again:
Psychosis is not gnosis. Taking LSD, psilocybin, MDMA, salvia, or even alcohol and reinforcing those states with fictional, mythological narratives through ceremonial magic can cause a psychotic break. You are not magical. You are not enlightened. You have broken your brain. Psychosis has degenerative effects on your brain, so you are altering your brain in irreversible ways. I know this from experience.
My step-grandmother worked herself into such a drug-induced state of psychosis that, as a senior, she has to be heavily sedated, causing her to gain weight and become massively overweight, with her mind numb. That’s a whole other saga, but my step-grandmother held religious and esoteric beliefs, subscribing to conspiracy theories, and was a heavy drug user in her teens and young adult years, although she has been sober for almost 30 years. It permanently messed her up. We know she isn’t taking her meds when she is sharper; unfortunately, that means she is psychotic. We found out she needed to be heavily medicated when she attacked a police officer in my junior year of high school.
Again, you are not doing magic when you take drugs, force yourself to believe in things that are not real, and purposefully incubate a delusion, reinforcing this with ostension and pantomime via ceremonial magic and ritual. You are driving yourself insane and giving yourself brain damage that you will have to deal with as you get older. Once again, I am seeing the marauder and the extremely online occulture crowd drive themselves into a psychotic break because they believe that’s how you do magic.
Here’s what people need to remember: The conventional, modern definition of magic is that magic is changing reality in accordance with will. While I deeply abhor and despise Aleister Crowley and Thelema, I like that definition because it converges on the definition of art. It’s more of an affirmation of magic as an art that fits nicely with pragmatic theories of aesethics. Conventionally, art is the deliberate and willful manipulation of elements, channels, and mediums, so the modern definition meets the definition of art.
What is art? A rock I found outside becomes art when I think it has an aesthetic quality, say it is art, pick it up, and exhibit it through displaying it as photography on my social media. So my appreciation and deliberate interaction with it as art is what makes it art. So, there is a link between modern definitions of magic and pragmatic ideas of art via intention and will. Magical potency is predicated on will. Compulsion, obsession, and addiction are the inability to willfully and deliberately control oneself, so they are inversely related to will. That means drug addiction, obsessions, and paranoia that emerge from mental illness, and psychosis cancel out your ability to do magic.
Magic isn’t psychosis. Gnosis is not psychosis.

A actavist history of the web
The “better” #closedweb (ISP intranets) was “surprisingly” destroyed by the “inferer” #openweb which then exploded in use to spread everywhere.
The #mainstreaming thinking then tried and failed to recapture this #4opens project for ten years as it takes up global space, and was a real challenge change, that the “common sense” said should not exist.
This working alternative was finally sold out by our own #fahernistas, who bribed with money and statues members of the “unthinking” #geekproblem to build the #dotcons that rapidly took over the #openweb space.
Our wider activist #fashernistas created “liberal stories” about how embracing the #dotcons was a good path. The wider #fahernistas flocked to these #closedweb spaces to grasp at the real early power they provided, after society had finished this shift, the bate and switch took this power away, and we were left with “servalence capitalism” and no social power, as was obvuse at the time it was a con.
Our #fahernistats then pissed tech change/challenge agenst the wall for ten years. While the #openweb user facing technology withered, ignored and irrelevant to #mainstreaming
A few years ago we had an “accidental” #openweb reboot with #activitypub and soon after pushing of the next generation of #closedweb projects with #web03 leaving us in the current messy times.
Yes now the #dotcons are roting, but the #openweb is only a small change challenge due to our #fahernistas and #geekproblem actively #BLOCKING the change challenge inherent to the project.
Where are we now and what can we learn from this?
Liberalism in tech are often active prats, co-opting, bait and switch and taking the easy #NGO funded path when the choice comes.
They are #friendlyenemies, even when they deny this with all their “common sense”
Ideas to mediate this, please?Do you except that “new” is often #deathcult (neo-liberalism) and #postmodernism because this is “common sense” what is your plan/idea to get around these problems?
I have had 20 years of “new” and am very underwhelmed, actually it’s almost all #blocking or adding to the #techshit to be composed. This is obviously a problem that needs to be mediated, what is your plan/process to have a better outcome?
Remember that the only thing that has worked in the last 10 years has been copying #dotcons with #activertypub every themselves has failed, what can we learn from this?
This is an important question that the #OMN project mediates.

I have had 20 years of “new” and am very underwhelmed, actually it’s almost all #blocking or adding to the #techshit to be composed. This is obviously a problem that needs to be mediated, what is your plan/process to have a better outcome?
Remember that the only thing that has worked in the last 10 years has been copying #dotcons with #activertypub every themselves has failed, what can we learn from this?
This is an important question that the #OMN project mediates.

A activist history of the web
The “better” #closedweb (ISP intranets) was “surprisingly” destroyed by the “inferer” #openweb which then exploded in use to spread everywhere.
The #mainstreaming thinking then tried and failed to recapture this #4opens project for ten years as it takes up global space, and was a real challenge change, that the “common sense” said should not exist.
This working alternative was finally sold out by our own #fahernistas, who bribed with money and statues members of the “unthinking” #geekproblem to build the #dotcons that rapidly took over the #openweb space.
Our wider activist #fashernistas created “liberal stories” about how embracing the #dotcons was a good path. The wider #fahernistas flocked to these #closedweb spaces to grasp at the real early power they provided, after society had finished this shift, the bate and switch took this power away, and we were left with “servalence capitalism” and no social power, as was obvuse at the time it was a con.
Our #fahernistats then pissed tech change/challenge agenst the wall for ten years. While the #openweb user facing technology withered, ignored and irrelevant to #mainstreaming
A few years ago we had an “accidental” #openweb reboot with #activitypub and soon after pushing of the next generation of #closedweb projects with #web03 leaving us in the current messy times.
Yes now the #dotcons are roting, but the #openweb is only a small change challenge due to our #fahernistas and #geekproblem actively #BLOCKING the change challenge inherent to the project.
Where are we now and what can we learn from this?
Liberalism in tech are often active prats, co-opting, bait and switch and taking the easy #NGO funded path when the choice comes.

I'd like to discuss #Postmodernism with someone. I'm trying to figure out what I think about it. #InfiniteJest, #GravitysRainbow, #SlaughterhouseFive are among my favorite books, if that means anything.
A lot of these descriptions fit me:
"epistemological relativism, moral relativism, pluralism, irony, irreverence, and eclecticism." I think those are good traits, but I have a creeping sense that something is missing...
Maybe I am a #Postmodernist who is slowly inching toward something else? -

Hip Hop Samples Jazz: Dynamics of Cultural Memo y and Musical Tradition in the African American 1990s
The critical attempt to historicize hip hop dates at least to David Toop’s 1984 "Rap Attack: African Griots to New York Jive", a book written with journalistic immediacy and yet, as its subtitle suggests, one that situates rap reportage in the black musical "longue durée" but it wasn’t until the mid- 1990s that efforts toward an academic hip hop scholarship began in earnest, and it was then that ideas about the music’s methods and meanings as rooted in the black musical past became common currency. This view wasn’t surprising: a neat and untroubled line could be traced from the classic African American toasts to rap, and the use of digital sampling, whereby hip hop producers constructed their work from (black) music’s recorded back catalog, was equally suggestive for historically minded observers. This sampling practice, and its “historical” interpretation, form the central subject of this article.
Certainly, hip hop’s early scholars differed in their reasoning as to what the form’s use of old records meant for black music and history. Some positioned the practice as part of a linear, cultural-national tradition, sometimes shaded with essentialism. William Eric Perkins claimed, with totalizing confidence, that “sampling was and is hip hop’s ongoing link with history and tradition, including all of the African and African American musical genres.” a more modulated Kyra D. Gaunt contended that hip hop’s sampling was “the perfect medium for expressing the temporal culture-scape of who we are, and how we became, across time.”https://doi.org/10.5406/americanmusic.29.3.0277
