But now you get what they were Göring for?

Diamonds are forever, but emeralds are for fascists.

"All the enemies of the Constitution borrow the name and language of patriotism to spread error, discord and false principles... It is thus that public opinion is excited and becomes disorganized; the general will becomes powerless and invalid and patriotism... sometimes seconds, through blind impetuosity, the evil projects of the enemies of our freedom." -MR

Europe will likely have to spend double the rumored 700 billion to achieve something credible.

So, what you're saying is that this spending package for defense is NonCredible?

Not until we can blame it on a scapegoate group. E.g. "Spanish" flu.

Ironically, would that be a Happy Meal?

Trump and MAGA politics

Maybe the language we use to describe them is itself normalising and pacifying. Like calling a Nazi salute a "hand gesture."

I would suggest "a criminal dictator and fascist politics" as a substitute in your sentence to provoke an acceptable, proportionate reaction.

If someone doesn't even start a position, can we still measure their tenure in Mooches?

 

It's almost like raising prices without improving the service causes people to cancel 🤔

Lots of reasons to be looking at the framework Canada just published for consumer-driven (open) banking, but I thought this was a gem:

from "2.10 A Single Technical Standard"

...The Framework will significantly decrease the risks of personal data being compromised by bad actors and mitigate security, privacy, and liability risks for consumers and participants. This is achieved through the use of APIs, a type of software that acts as secure data “pipes” to enable different products and services to communicate in a consistent manner.

If an API is a pipe, is the Internet a series of tubes?

Technological development can destroy our sense of ourselves as rational, coherent subjects, leading to widespread suffering and destruction. But tools can also provide us with a new sense of what it means to be human, leading to new modes of expression and cultural practices.

Technology, for better or worse, affects every aspect of our lives. Our very sense of who we are is shaped and reshaped by the tools we have at our disposal.

The problem, for Stiegler, is that when we pay too much attention to our tools, rather than how they are developed and deployed, we fail to understand our reality. We become trapped, merely describing the technological world on its own terms and making it even harder to untangle the effects of digital technologies and our everyday experiences.

By encouraging us to pay closer attention to this world-making capacity, with its potential to harm and heal, Stiegler is showing us what else is possible.
