Resist the rampant negation of ludic violence in socialist game worlds! As part of the @e_flux special issue Experimental Publics, edited by the wonderful Mi You, my essay delivers heavy blows against the anti-political utopianism of cooperative games. https://t.co/7RPfpRQiPI
@Bemalo4@GenieMunz@HesslerMatthias Es würde aber viele Ausschreibungen geben auf die sich kein privates Unternehmen bewerben wird, da unprofitabel. Und die Bahn müsste genau diese Strecken weiter bedienen und hätte damit einen signifikanten Wettbewerbsnachteil gegenüber der Rosinenpickererei von Privatunternehmen
@GenieMunz@HesslerMatthias Weil die deutsche Bahn unprofitable Strecken im ländlichen Raum durch die hochbelasteten Strecken querfinanziert. Damit werden dann zukünftig entweder erstere eingestellt oder die Verluste steigen weiter, wodurch sich wiederum der Privatisierungsdruck zuspitzen wird.
This will likely turn out to be the most prominent case of AI psychosis: a formerly brilliant person, unwilling to come to terms with reality, conjures mechanical yes-men to keep his fragile worldview from imploding.
@ianpaulwright@AlexandreFenel1 Hayek's imagined a competitive system of private monies to supplant the inflationary state money. He believed that there exists the inclination among market participants to choose the most stable one because it distorts price signals the least. Bitcoin is the complete opposite.
@ianpaulwright@AlexandreFenel1 Whats funny: Hayek would have despised Bitcoin. The core argument of the denationalization of money is that price stability would drive adoption. Satoshis ponzi approach of rewarding early adopters turned out to be the more successful one - but with it Bitcoin ceases to be money
@BrunoLeipold@vcwills @mirjammue Wonderful, looking forward to tapping into your expertise regarding principle of representation as well as the imperative mandate! About to wrap up a chapter on the lineage Rousseau-Hegel-Marx, interpreting the economic plan as a materialist modulation of the general will.
@sorenmau This emphasises much more the passivity of the proletariat receiving the "gare" food (a ready-made blueprint of the future communist society). The cooking process is finished, without them having any influence on it.
@sorenmau Such fantastic doctrines structuring life in every detail is what Marx has been so skeptical about. One aspect that is lost in both translations is the "Gar", which means the cooking process is done (denatured proteins, loosened fibre structure) and the food is ready to consume.
@gavinmuellerphd@sorenmau my critique on optimal planning was already shared in the special issue, here is my essay on predictive analytics but maybe too "uncritical"? Can send the pdf if interested.
dissertation on the whole complex will be hopefully finished this summer..
