If cognitive capitalism became the engine of American prosperity after deindustrialization and the neoliberal turn, McKenzie Wark helps us see why this shift wasn’t merely a change in industrial organization — it was a transformation in the deep logic of value creation. #DailyPlanet

NPR reporters and leaders should spend more time on Bluesky to get more urgency of the times in their bloodstream.
I don’t miss NPR at all for all the reasons.
However, today there was a short science item about how a spy ant takes over the colony of another ant species. A brilliantly winking piece of commentary.
However, this is America. Such commentary shouldn’t have to be coded.

The money-form of capital clouds the perception of the shift (to Vectorialism) that is underway
In V, power is not derived from control of capital, but from control of "the vectors of data." (Whether that is itself just another form of capital, is an open question)
In any case, it's not abt money

In an early 90's (print!) issue of Wired Magazine, there was an article about how the NORAD station in Cheyenne was upgraded.
There was a line in there that has stuck with me ever since:
"It was like upgrading your old black and white TV to color… while everyone was watching their favorite show."

The current “AI race” media frenzy, whether framed as productivity revolution, Chinese competition, or AGI salvation, is either largely myth-making or missing the most crucial point.
So let me challenge that frenzy with a different story.

Been slowly reading David Harvey's "A Companion to Marx's 'Grundrisse'."
"Grundriss" is German for "floorplan" or "blueprint" or "architecture."
The original is notoriously difficult (Marx laying out and stress-testing all the theory & concepts of capital), and this companion is no easy read either…

AOC: I have to tell you, in my traveling across the country, I am hearing and have been seeing consistent things from everyday people. And it is that they are terrified, they are frustrated, they are angry, and they are shocked by a president violating the values that we hold dear

Social scientists often talk abt the contact hypothesis theory for which interpersonal interaction under certain circumstances can significantly improve intergroup relations. We don‘t know if public transit systematically creates these circumstances, but we do know that cars systematically do *not*.
i think if you ride public transit enough you learn that most weird behavior is not dangerous, and conversely i think driving a car teaches you that everyone is trying to kill you at all times
