I don't find this aesthetically pleasing. The faces in particular have that soulless model pose that MJ makes. But you can't say this person isn't a "creator". Whatever that means, he evidently put lots of time and resources into making a homage to his favorite director. For me this is enough to consider it art, regardless of the tool he made it with. https://x.com/PJaccetturo/status/1841884941724065984?t=4uE1LuVIpoRh7MPL5_CfDA&s=19

So the future of descentralized social media is... gatekeeping? Yay.

Pricing mechanisms are probably where the mismatch of classical theory and reality is the widest. The supply and demand doctrine needs to account for the fact that, in real life, prices never go down. Uber charges extra when there's high demand, but you never ride at a discount for low demand.

The automated economy is coming whether we like it or not. Fully automated communism is the way we make sure it's democratically managed and not serving the profits of a minority.

Schengen Area is crazy. It'd be unthinkable to implement such a thing nowadays, only in the 90s Europeans could be so optimistic.

Who could have possibly guessed that dismantling the state would actually increase poverty? Nobody saw that coming, complete surprise. https://x.com/fteconomics/status/1839413020163809739?t=YS0DXtRziZHEVTQPifJ7Uw&s=19

How petty do you have to be for insisting for months on dragging the entire region to nuclear war so that you can avoid jail for a bit more. Complete evil. https://x.com/IsraeliPM/status/1838249137822679042?t=D4I_od0TBN_O9ptbL3FLYw&s=19

So, is solarpunk merely a euphemism for eco-anarchy? Yes. While you will rarely hear it put forward this way, this is because of optics. After-all, if we called cyberpunk what it really is: "dystopian prolonged late-stage capitalism with fascist overtones," it would be a lot harder to sell movie tickets—Ryan Gosling be damned. The reality is that anarchy by any other name smells very, very sweet. I've written multiple newsletters on this subject, and they are among my most popular. As an example of this, “decentralization,” a word with anarchist roots, is now used to pitch everything from Bitcoin to Instagram Threads.

I feel bad for Gen Xers that truly believe the globalization ethos and the end of history, early 2000s centrist hegemony. Their worldview is in crisis since 2016 yet they persevere.

Someone build a farcaster client that takes boosts to to its logical endpoint and takes literally the 15 minutes of fame concept. https://x.com/TylerAlterman/status/1836565160380477621?t=Fo4qy2NqBErkEAeQQM4-ng&s=19

I don't fully grok the point of making pagers explode. The rewards seem too little for such a costly and risky operation. That is, unless you consider it a psy op and not kinetic warfare. When non state actors do it, we call it terrorism.

I imagine liquid democracy to be this but issued by an official account, casting surveys non stop in order to constantly calibrate the record of public preferences that guide state policy.
