  2. I’ve now began The Shapeless Unease by Samantha Harvey. I’ve decided to go down the rabbit hole. I annotate passage that resonate: “ all I ever seem to feel these days is the disappearance of who I think I am” this book is a memoir by Harvey of her time as an insomniac. It’s a bit existential and as I was always a Camus fan, i’m only five chapters in, and I’m hooked. #bookstodon #books #BookTok #bookclub #book #readwithme #reading

  7. As we are quoting Neal Stephenson now, I must wonder: is David aware of the mechanism of censoring? The deep self-censoring aspect of it that even prevents individuals from coming forward with ideas that could be seen as undesirable. I have a growing understanding that capitalist-led countries are not free at all. #ReadWithMe

  10. Quote inside quote. Davit quotes Katz here: “original ideas are the kiss of death for a proposal” and I am like just nodding along the way. This can happens with you as well if you willing to go outside of your comfort zone and read. #ReadWithMe

  11. Oh boy! “Sequencing genes”. Let me know if anyone interested about that. I have things to say for days #ReadWithMe

  12. After a lengthy discussion about military innovation, which I generally agree with, we are now discussing academic research. Speaking of money spent, David writes, “Overall levels of basic research funding have increased.” However, as someone who has seen it firsthand, it does not look good at all. Let me provide an example. Did you know that in most grants, food and medical fields are treated as one group? Since most able-bodied individuals only face difficulties when they get sick, the majority of these grants go towards medical research. #ableism This is maddening. Healthy food could prevent the need for medical intervention, yet we are not focusing on that.

  13. The next part contains some interesting observations about medical research. As someone who has written academic papers, I can attest that, yes, it is true—the focus of the field is so constrained it is maddening. #ReadWithMe

  14. Allow me a personal note here: In the following section David talks about that the Soviet government planned to create technologies outside of industrial, political or military interests. Like combatting world hunger or energy imbalances. One of these effort was a computer that does not work in binaries insted of trinaries. If you think about a second you can see that you can have positive charge, negative charge and no charge in an electrical system. Which makes three valid states to use. Even the system was Neumann and Turing compatible it never really got off the ground because every piece of software had to be rewritten for that. #ReadWithMe

  15. Ngl I laughed at loud. David write here that some American thinker in the fifties thought the “Soviet system worked better.” As a person who grew up in the east block of Europe (Hungary) during the socialism I can assure you there is good and bad in the Soviet model. As like a lot of things in this life there is no obvious better or worse solution. #ReadWithMe

  16. Again “value came from physical labor”. That’s only monetary value. Not personal or societal value. And because of these distinctions does not visible for a lot of thinkers. Grasping why is the value is disappearing (it is not) is hard for them. But back to David. He albeitwery male-centric perspective slowly arrives to the point where seeing the effects of policies and politics #ReadWithMe

  17. Now David talks about Toffler, who “assumed capitalism was eternal” Interestingly that also a recurring theme of a alot of western thinkers. They somehow seeing capitalism as an ultimate form of evolution. Like forgetting there was a different trading system existed before and certainly will be after it. Again for the people in the back: Capitalism is a trading system not an overall value or life management model. #ReadWithMe

  20. Slowly getting there. One of my favourite sayings is this: Transporting is too cheap.If you stop for a moment and think about why it is worth transporting goods all over the globe instead of producing them locally, you can see the point David is making here. Instead of investing in technological advances, it was cheaper to produce goods using underpaid labour and ship them across the world. There is no greater disincentive than the opinions of a group of ultra-rich individuals who control the means of production. #ReadWithMe

  23. Oh, “third technological revolution,” and “end of work”! What a trip to the memory lane this is for me. As a socialist, especially the endo of work was so desirable. We honestly believed thet we can offer everyone a basic income and decent living conditions. Obviously this is not happened. Let’s say wht we can learn from this situation. #ReadWithMe

  24. Now we start talking about post-modern. I remember how we felt empty and disconnected and how we searched endlessly for meaning and connection. There is a reason why we were behind the idea if the history is dead. I never really connected it with technology. For me felt more an artistic, social and cultural phenomenon. But it makes sense. Technology equally part of our lives. These days even more than ever. #ReadWithMe

  25. Ok. Last bit about the past assumption of the future: “ They thought we’d be doing this kind of thing by now. Not just figuring out more sophisticated ways to simulate it.” Now as we have a clear understanding what we as a collective thought how the future will look like let’s focus on what we were able to actually achieve. #ReadWithMe

  26. “in 2001, we would have commercial moon flights“ I remember seeing that movie as a kid and even in the eighties felt like a reality that could happen. #ReadWithMe

  27. (Note: The donation was already finished and I am on the second page only. It was way faster than I remembered) #ReadWithMe

  28. First we going through the anticipation of the future as a person growing up in the mid to late twentieth century “I would be thirty-nine in the magic year 2000” I was 29. So really close. #ReadWithMe

  29. So the premise of this essay is is that despite of technological advances the productivity is declining. And the core cause of the decline is the technology #ReadWithMe
