    2. “[Weimar]… Yes, we all know how it ends. But its participants… could have no idea what was in store for them. Will we be any the wiser? I ask because Weimar now beckons us. But, not at all in the way we think. We think about Weimar only in terms of the weakening of American democracy. While we should really think about it in terms of the world."

      Comment - This is a very appropriate quote as it is not just a national threat, but a global one - Steve Bannon and others have been criss-crossing the globe priming other far-right movements - It is also the case that most people are underestimating the slippery slope we are sliding down, - just as the people supporting Hitler at the time of Hitler's ascendency were not aware that he was going to cause a genocide - Would these people have gone along with Hitler if they knew in the early days what we now know?

      summary - This is a good article that explains the rational behind a number of Silicon Valley actors such as Peter Thiel, Elon Musk, Sam Altman and others who subscribe to a toxic and dystopian mix of: - Longterminism - Libertarianism - Accelerationism - In order to understand the actions of the tech bros, it is key to understand their modus operandi

    2. As fervent believers in Longterminism, the Silicon Valley elites are not interested in the current multiple crises of our societies. On the contrary, through their social media platforms, Zuckerberg and Musk even instigate further polarization. Climate change, inequality, erosion of democracy – who cares? What counts is the far away future, not the present. Their greatest fear is not the collapse of our climate or the mass extinction of animals – they are haunted by the nightmare of AI taking over control. This would spoil their homo deus party. AI in control doesn’t need humans anymore.

    5. Technodeterminism, is how Jonathan Taplin recently critically labeled this approach,26 which parallels the fervent belief of early Fascism in the power of technology: Cars, trains, machines of all kind that drive us at an accelerating speed into an entirely new world – one of our own creation.

    1. “We believe in accelerationism – the conscious and deliberate propulsion of technological development – to ensure the fulfillment of the Law of Accelerating Returns. To ensure the techno-capital upward spiral continues forever.” Marc Andreessen writes this in his “Techno-Optimist Manifesto”. "Democracy and freedom are incompatible", Peter Thiel concurs.

    1. There was a lot of conversation at the time around a leaderless movement. But I know at least in the activist scene in New York, what we talked about was building leader-full movements, about the idea that we don't want to step away from power, but instead, as people with a vision for the future of America, we want to step into power.

    2. They were also outraged on the right. And that outrage on the right took the form of the Tea Party movement. What amazed me at the time, Kara, was that the Tea Party movement and the Occupy movement used such similar language. They talked about crony capitalism, corporate welfare. They didn't want a big government and big corporations colluding against everyone else.

      for - similiarities - tea party - occupy

    3. One of the biggest lessons of the Occupy movement was that you can't only have a demonstration. Demonstrations are great. Demonstrations are important to bring attention to certain critical issues. But if you lack mobilization and organization and a political strategy, then you're just basically engaging in a performative act. You're indulging in a performance. You aren't really changing the course of history.

    4. When we think about why it happened, my assessment is the financial crisis, the Wall Street bailout really catapulted a lot of energy and a lot of outrage because the banks got bailed out, a lot of people -- millions of people -- lost their jobs, their homes, their savings, and not a single CEO of any big Wall Street bank went to jail, and people were outraged.

      comment - from Latin intentionem (nominative intentio) "a stretching out, straining, exertion, effort; attention," noun of action from intendere "to turn one's attention," literally "to stretch out" - I'm not sure that - the "stretching towards" of attention and - the "stretching out" of intention - conveys a clear relationship between them - I understand the "stretching towards" of attention but don't get the sense of "stretching out" as it applies to intention - I think of energy and purpose but stretching out doesn't seem aligned to it

      question - intention - as stretching out - I don't understand how intention can be described as stretching out. I understand it as having a goal or purpose - Stretching out is perhaps alluding to a FUTURE action - to get hold of something you don't presently have so you are stretching out - Perhaps more of a literal hand movement - stretching out your hand to get something you don't currently have - whereas stretching towards is alluding more to something in the present, although it seems they can both be used interchangeably for reaching for an object not currently in your possession: - the baby stretched his hand towards the apple - the baby stretched out his hands to grasp the apple

    1. three simplifying strategies

      for - three simplifying strategies

      three simplifying strategies - MATHEMATICS / QUANTIFICATION - counting - When you count a series of objects, there is an underlying assumption of a simplification and abstraction of reality that eliminates all the variability that is present in real systems in nature - This is especially true in biology - To count "objects you are making the assumption that the similarities between them are what matters and you can ignore the differences that are usually there - So in applying the most basic ideas of mathematics, counting, we are already making a big assumption that abstracts away a lot of natural variability - statistics - once again, a lot of variability is simply bypassed - - - REDUCTION - studying a part of a living system in isolation of the living system - in vitro instead of - in vivo - We reduce the number of natural variables by restricting to an artificial lab environment - Processes can work well within the non-natural, highly constrained test environment but the results may not match with the same process in the natural environment when all the natural variability is present - ANALOGIES / METAPHORS

      for - haptic realism - definition - Mazviita Chirmuuta - SOURCE - interview - Youtube - channel: Brain Inspired - Episode: BI 186 Mazviita Chirmuuta: The Brain Abstracted - 2024, Mar

      definition - haptic realism - Mazviita Chirimuuta - While mainstream scientific realism suggests that if a scientific theory is mature and supported by strong empirical evidence, then that scientific representation can be taken as the literal truth of how things exactly are. - In contrast, haptic realism, as the name "haptic" suggests, holds that the observer (human agent) through human touching / sensing of the aspect of nature studied plays an important role in contributing to the scientific representation. - In other words, the observer cannot simply be ignored and scientific truth has a kind of built-in degree of constructivism and relativism that depends on the perspectival frame of the observer - The many processes that occur when scientists are generating their theories creates simplifying models that strip away the complexities of reality but can be characterized by one perspective view - The scientist is situated and has his/her own unique - Lebenswelt (lifeworld), - perspective - instrumentation - narrative - to the observation and theoretical construction of the measured / observed data - But this is only one of many potential constructions - In this sense, haptic realism considers that the "objective" scientific reality is a partnership between - that which is observed - the modality of observing (instrumentation, techniques) - the linguistic words and constructed narratives using those words

    1. So what is the central meaning of the word ‘reflexive’ in ‘reflexive moderniz- ation’? 4 ‘Reflexive’ does not mean that people today lead a more conscious life. On the contrary. ‘Reflexive’ signifies not an ‘increase of mastery and consciousness, but a heightened awareness that mastery is impossible’ (Latour, 2003).

It makes a lot of sense to have this different strategy of being rooted in the real physical world and have digital nomads being as like a guild of knowledge workers that seed their specialized knowledge because localism is necessary and good, but it's also not necessarily very innovative.

      // - COMMENTS - This is a very insightful interview with Michel that provides a lot of historical contexts for the many challenges faced by contemporary society - Within these historical contexts, we can glimpse how today's problems are part of a repeating pattern, albeit with many new elements that have emerged - He offers the possibility of a commons approach of mutualization, - in particular cosmolocalism - as a powerful leverage point to evolve a future wellbeing civilization - Contexualizing modernity in the alternate growth and downfall periods of human civilizations, he points out how we are in a transition period in which the current system is fraying - He outlines the many seed forms that exist now which, just like those that appeared in past cycles of downfall, combined to emerge the next growth cycle - crypto and blockchain - which can provide a global way of coordinating planetary health - the internet in general, which can bring mutualization of knowledge for locailzed production - There are some strong exemplars of promising seed forms but to scale, - the cosmo processes have to integrate with - local, place-anchored processes such as permacutlure and bioregion-based regeneration.

What I imagine, I call this the magisteria of the commons, you have a coalition of, let's say, permaculture, a particular way of doing respectful agriculture. Locally, they're weak. It's just a bunch of people. Globally, what if there are 12,000 of them? What if they have a common social power, like common property that can help the nodes individually? I think that would create the premises and the seeds for a new type of institution that can operate at the trans-local level. That's what I call cosmolocalism
