Imho the digital institutions won’t achieve much until they’re able to manifest irl in terms of resource ownership and military/security guarantees. Sadly they’ll just be floating on top of the real power structure of neoliberal military-industrial structures. How do you see DAOs making the leap?

Piling more hyper-financialization, payment/investment infrastructure and game theoretical incentive schemes on top of neo-liberalism will not solve any social problems or lead to more “freedom”. (Analogous to the Soviet Union believing its problem was not being communist enough)

The most heavenly smell. Butter, bay leaves, lardons, crushed garlic. For Haferflockensuppe (northern Alsacien oatmeal soup with fried eggs, green onions, and sour cream)

I’ve always found the rebranding (burying?) of cybernetics extremely sus. Any recs on what to read to better understand the transition away from openly talking about command and control systems?
