Faux tech radicalism as tech fetishistic fan fiction account

@TGarantine You do realize Stafford Beer was the guy helping Allende's government build a socialist internet right?

@yokelisms Not quite, but in the ballpark: https://t.co/DxJZdW7Eug

@AJWShaughnessy Has been replace by Survival Thinking

@paulg You bring to mind another one: "innovation"

[Panjandrummer @sixmoraltales]

@amasad Love it when 'murican fake "innovators" demonstrate their complete lack of imagination by panic tweeting in support of the status quo. 🤡

[Panjandrummer @sixmoraltales]

@Heghoulian Speaking of the worst of human viciousness... Read what Junger recounts Celine saying in his Paris Journal.

[Panjandrummer @sixmoraltales]

@nabeelqu It's just way too expensive to do anything real in fake hyperfinancialized economies.

[Panjandrummer @sixmoraltales]

@HipCityReg But what—really—is that ecosystem in this case? Market liberalism/libertarianism?

[Panjandrummer @sixmoraltales]

@paulg So what have you learned from this disappointment? Could a fundamentally flawed understanding of techno-capital possibly be involved?

[Panjandrummer @sixmoraltales]

@meta_nomad You mean you find them easier to read

[Panjandrummer @sixmoraltales]

@Heghoulian Because they're mostly American and need to salvage something from their history rather than suffer the catastrophic ego death of rejecting the very premise of existence of their country.

[Panjandrummer @sixmoraltales]

@daveg No actually this is what terminal cultural decline looks like. Keep on innovating

[Panjandrummer @sixmoraltales]

@jgreenhall This is an excellent take

[Panjandrummer @sixmoraltales]

@ruima This screams marketing department. Would love to hear about the team of 12 supervising this CEO.

[Panjandrummer @sixmoraltales]

@interpretantion You'd think he would have learned tech is cringe by now (FB, GOOG, AI). Bitcoin was the last vaguely cyberpunk tech thing he could cling to to remain an accelerationist. Maybe he does trad next.

[Panjandrummer @sixmoraltales]

@pmarca Have you not heard DARPA, the field cybernetics or the Macy Conferences? How could you possibly think this happened "bottom up"? There is no historical ambiguity, it's military technique deployed on the population.

[Panjandrummer @sixmoraltales]

@pmarca You are literally one of the main individuals who shovelled money onto that dumpster fire of values to make it grow. Why not let yourself off the hook? Take a break!

[Panjandrummer @sixmoraltales]

@samim Too many features for sure. But also glad I don't have to maintain a 16 track Studer myself, or hire a studio and an engineer to record 8 tracks.
