I highly doubt there will be a transformative solution within the next five years, especially in the US, given given how slow US is due to political road blocks. Financial corps and hospitals still rely on outdated programming languages, and the infrastructure in place won’t shift easily due to the risks associated with AI. Even five years out, this inertia will be slow, that’s just one example. 2. What @gothblin02 said, collective bargaining and civil revolts will occur.

What’s terrifying about this question, is that even though this was asked by an 18 year old, it could be asked by so many tech bros in Silicon Valley that have no idea how the world actually operates. The entire reductive argument of let’s just go to Mars, is in the same light as this naive question from an 18 year old.

Oh my child, you’ve tried to sound smart but you were a product of your own period, in 2008 when there were very little insights on what the humanities are, what philosophy is, but at least you were aware enough to ask this question. To answer your question, if that is the case there are a few measurements we can do, first, we can remove the billionaire class. But the world is more complicated than that, trends have shown that the better the collectives are, the less kids they’ll have.

The first two images are Christ Robbins, from the scroll across the city. Mentored by Henry Giroux, and thus Paulo Friere. A decade later, I’m now 35. A year younger than when I first met him when he was 36, I was this dumbass 20 year old Platonic and Postmodern addict. I’m doing what he did to me, and I am making my younger self proud. In my own digital salon that’s Threads.

To Being and Time. From Derrida, to Frankfurt School, from History of Sexuality, to neoliberalism. He would answer my questions with more questions, tapping into Socratic teaching styles, but more importantly, using his Frierian dialogical approach to force more questions. And at the end, he would always recommend a reading list, a journal article, a critical reading. What do you think of the all seeing panopticon Chris? good q, but have you consider Baumen’s work on liquid modernity. 2/3

I’ve not read this book. Off to Google I go

Yes! That’s also a very good route to take as well, both critiques are hella valid. Check out David graeber’s book, The Utopia of Rules.

Hahahaahah. Yes! It’s the libertarian aspect of Uncanny Valley (Wiener), and the fantastic five or some shit that has really pushed this idea of tech as liberation from political choices.

Correct. I was being rhetorical. 🙂‍↔️

I’m also writing a paper on this exact same subject Using Randy’s And The Band Played On (on aids discourse and how the US government fucked up this process), as a historical source, while applying Biopower (the power of scientific discourse as a truthification process), and making parallele to how the CDC ducked up COVID, and its administrations.

This also ties to book banning & censorship of information. There's a reason books on cultural critique are banned, not "how to construct a Ford Pinto." Technical knowledge doesn't threaten power, understanding systems does. They know teaching people HOW things happened historically is more dangerous than teaching them how things work mechanically. Cc: @gothblin02

This is the issue with Stem lords, and the significant difference between superficial reading of stem versus humanities discourse. If an engineer fucks up, oh big oof, maybe 30-100 people would die in a bridge accident. Or a recall of Ford Pinto, that prevented more deaths But if no one listens to historians, and let the course of neoliberal policies occur, how many people will die then? We are constantly processing this every day, and even popular media is setting a hagiography of Luigi.

If a bridge collapse, 30 people may die. If neoliberalism keeps going, oh.

It also misses how books actually work within our lives, they are there as companion pieces that resonates with your lived experience, or a mirror to your soul. Reading isn't an easy path that reveals the answer, but rather, it's more contextual. This is why Sontag argued against interpretation, not saying that the text should not be interpreted, rather, the text should not be interpreted with respect to the writer, but interpreted with respect to you, your lived experiences.

The language around "must-read books" or "books that will change your life" suggests there's some universal path to enlightenment or success, as if we could all read the same curated list and emerge as optimized versions of ourselves. This thinking descends directly from that Platonic ideal of perfection, where there's supposedly one "true" form we should all be striving toward, and modern notions of productivity and production.

dip it in chocolate, not a metaphor

steel

When you're reading more than 52 books per year, no, there are no needs for hierarchy since context is so different. they have enough insights to answer more specific questions, like how would you recommend a book for x y or z.

njoy products. stainless steel. recommending it for a friend

Don’t ask what their favorite book is, instead ask, what emotions did you feel for x y z situation. Each context of our lives are so diff, making a singular, or a top 10 book, an impossibility in this neoliberal culture of book reading.

We don’t ask what the favorite book is when they book count is more than 52

What makes my page unique is while I do follow trends, I try to make my own twists with it, mostly with academic insight in a easily accessible form, where I use humor and visceral content of lived experiences to bring people in. It’s not popular trend, but it’s niche trends that hasn’t quite been popular yet.

I wouldn’t called it depressing. It just means you have to produce enough libidinal desire for the loveless books out there. Think of it as liberation from trends. · This is the anti trend we must produce. We must learn to find our own desires, wants, and use those as an introduction into new niches. This is how cycles of trends, and anti trends become equilibrium.

Think of it like the Joker's laugh, raw, immediate, uncontrollable. That's how cultural trends work now. You can't wait 3 months on a Libby waitlist for that hit of recognition. The neoliberal attention economy demands immediate gratification, instant participation in the collective experience. When your meme group is exploding about THAT book RIGHT NOW, waiting isn't just inconvenient, it's emotional torture. Platforms haven't just monetized content, they've monetized the libidinal desire. 6/6

Which brings us to libidinal desire and how it shapes our cultural consumption in this article I wrote. The oh shit moment of cultural recognition isn't just intellectual, it's visceral, it's desire, it's affect. Commercial platforms have mastered manufacturing these moments of shared cultural pleasure, this is what libidinal economy means. https://www.storiesbywei.com/reviews/2024/12/9/joker-carving-his-own-freedom-foucault-hawk-tuah-the-panopticon 5/n

Yeah. I just posted the multi part post on this. Check the other comments.

Cultural currency, Bourdieu's cultural capital, isn't just knowing things but it's about knowing the right, things at the “right” time in the “right” way. It’s when you drop that dank ass meme that hits virality, a shared understanding, a libidinal viscerally (that oh shit moment), or understand why everyone's talking about “that” book right now. Cultural currency doesn’t mean it’s intellectually-academically dense, rather it is a visceral reaction to your lived experiences. 4/n · This forces you to either wait months to join the cultural conversation which equates to dead cultural currency. Meanwhile, Audible/Spotify users can instantly tap into any trending moment. They've engineered scarcity into a premium feature, the ability to participate in cultural conversations in real-time. irony: a free service with the same content becomes, anti-trend, not because of quality but because everyone can access it. Popular culture has become a premium product, neoliberalized. 3/n · But here's the catch with Libby (the free library audiobook app), and the counterintuitive part of cultural currency with respect to popular culture, it actually becomes anti-trend by design. When a book blows up on BookTok or becomes the latest “must-discuss” title, everyone rushes to the library app at once. Result? You're 147th in line for a single digital copy.2/n

So many don’t understand this, and it’s by design. The "average person" knows about Spotify/Audible but not Libby. This shows marketing budgets and platform power where commercial platforms benefit from this information gap. Even when people learn about library options, they may doubt their quality, especially in the age of quick consumption of insights as a trend indicator of one’s cultural understanding and thus cultural currency. 1/n

I know the intellectual history of both countries. One is governing by the Mandate of Heaven, the other is governed by individualization For competitive, this is being anti competitive, that’s attributed to wealth hoarding and the ability to make individuals more powerful than countries. The west and the east has two diff trajectories, one focuses on society, and the other focuses on the self.

US Healthcare: "We spent $4.9T to: - Rank behind other nations - Have shorter lives - Create medical debt - Make insurance profits" China Healthcare: "We'll just... make people healthier? At 1/3 the price?"

Compare and contrast online communities with Green Books publication and usage by Black folks back in the early 1940s - It enabled distributed information sharing across geographic boundaries - It relied on community contributions and verification - It was regularly updated with new information - It served both practical and social purposes - a parallel information infrastructure when mainstream channels were hostile or exclusionary, a lotta Black folks had totally drive across ☀️⬇️ states.

One of the arguments that Dr Brock made was the idea of the “green books” being one of the first information network highways out there way before online forums, thus making Black folks much earlier in their adoption of try internet communication style. Creating their own cultural information highway, both metaphorical and literal. This is why I love studying and excavating Black digital spaces, to find spheres resistance that a lot of modern theorist don’t see due to racism.

Neoliberalism disrupted traditional communal spaces (work/social life balance) through isolation and individualization, for example the place of work used to be connected with communal events such as post work gatherings, socialite events at the host wife’s work etc. We're not just “using services” but creating counter-spaces within them. Like how factory workers used lunch breaks for organizing, we're using corporate platforms against their intended atomizion.

Power is a force, but is it control, influence, or freedom? Some say it’s the ability to act, others claim it’s the ability to make others act. How do you, define power? No limits on your response, just want to know what you think about when you think of the word power.

His alter ego

What/where is a heterotopia?

Been using this term a lot in my stuff— heterotopia (n): Spaces that are both real and different from their surroundings, where multiple realities or ways of being can exist at once. Think of them as counter-sites or places where normal rules get funky. Coined by your boy Michel Foucault (rip), who was like "hey what if some spaces operate differently from regular society?" Examples: - Libraries (knowledge space within regular space) - Theaters (multiple realities on stage) - My living room

Before threads I was peak neoliberal isolation™️: a 34yo intellectual in a college town post-friend-exodus, WFH hermit potential maximal. Post musk twitter and post Reddit corpification. The article validates: it's not about social media “replacing” community but creating new spaces when traditional structures of connection are disrupted. Like how a heterotopic house needs heterotopic digital spaces to match its energy. 4/n

Nice.

Post was a cont of @sivavaidhyanathan post

The article uses a donut metaphor, that social media isn't inherently good/bad but contextual. Like how theory nerds create spaces for complex discussion while still shitposting about cookies @hihaleyyy. Not replacing community, but creating heterotopic possibilities within existing structures. 3/n

Thinking about how this connects to books like "Temp" and "Out of Office", the disruption of communal work culture through neoliberalism (while acknowledging this was mostly accessible to white folks then). But digital spaces, as Andre Brock's work on Black Twitter shows and book “Distributed Blackness” (and also digital scholars like @feministajones ), can create new forms of community for the isolated. Community → neoliberal disruption → digital resistance The data validates this. 2/

https://www.jmir.org/2024/1/e59585 Social media gave me more purpose this year than ever before. What happens when neoliberal social isolating community disrupts communal interactions, but social media accidentally creates heterotopic spaces of resistance and connection? Like how a bunch of theory nerds can: - discuss gay vampires - recommend books - share painted murals - create digital salons 1/n
