  1. We live in a #deathcult rooted in 45 years of #neoliberalism and #postmodernism. Until we understand those roots, we'll keep mistaking the symptoms for the disease.

    Today's "reasonable" politics to often feels like lost people, each individually thrashing through the same thorny bush. The problem isn't the people, it's the roots feeding the mess.

    Cut those roots, and the old growth dries out. But history reminds us: when old systems collapse, the fire can spread in dangerous directions if we don't build something better first.

    That's why we need the #openweb, #4opens and #OMN - not just to critique the old world, but to grow the next one. #climatechaos #KISS

  6. 4/5 Groninger Museum
    Looking up at a light fitting in the cafe, where the lights fall from a mirror for more attention to detail of the design of absolutely everything in the Groninger Museum in the north of the Netherlands.

    Back to my Dutch trip for snaps from the Groninger Museum - a post-modernist delight. Not always a pomo fan, but if you are going to do it go completely over the top.

  18. 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 […]

  22. The Silence of Friday: How J.M. Coetzee Flipped the Script on Robinson Crusoe

    In 1986, South African Nobel Laureate J.M. Coetzee looked at Crusoe’s island and saw something entirely different: the blueprint for colonial trauma.

  27. 'the literature of modernism generally stood apart from and was critical of the market. Postmodern literature is part of the market and may even celebrate it. Characteristic of the postmodern is “a new kind of flatness or depthlessness, a new kind of superficiality in the most literal sense…”...such depthlessness applies to human experience as well, yielding individuals more likely to be recognized as fragmented or schizophrenic than alienated'

  32. 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 […]

  34. 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.
