“Without doubt, honor became for the bourgeoisie, too (in addition to the aristocracy), an essential socionarcissistic factor, with which the national militarization of bourgeois society is connected.”

“The fertile ground for cynicism in modern times is to be found not only in urban culture but also in the courtly sphere. Both are dies of pernicious realism through which human beings learn the crooked smile of open immorality.” Peter Sloterdijk (1987) trans. by Michael Eldred

🚨BREAKING: Someone built a marketplace where AI agents hire humans to do physical tasks for them.

It's called RentAHuman and AIs are literally posting gigs for people.
→ AI needs groceries? It hires you.
→ AI needs a package delivered? It pays you.

You can get paid when agents need someone in the real world.

We're not employers anymore. We're the gig workers for autonomous agents.

Finished my summer vacation reading with the Black Tides of Heaven by #Singapore’s @itsneonyang — hopeful that decolonizing feminists will teach us how to hold up half the sky while building a better firmament

I never had the #Ramayana shared with me as a child; what a lovely postcolonial boon to hear @soneela read @vaishnawri's loving retelling #kaikeyi

On the one hand we won’t have to listen to eventual nonsense about whites as persecuted numerical minorities… on the other hand bet that nonsense still happens and now we put structural racism on steroids 😥 https://t.co/5K7DKmLtqU
