    Also remarkable how fast Assange-ans went from anti-system to pro-Trussia. I see accounts like this all the time:

    If the way we get “above politics” is to embrace the tiresome amorality of this op-ed—no thanks. Are they seriously saying 1) the Warren Court decisions on civil rights damaged SCOTUS & 2) FDR’s promotion of basic economic rights is like Hungary & Poland’s authoritarianism?

    Very helpful piece. The analogy with economics here is illuminating. cc

    Nice critique of the David Graeber “BS jobs” thesis. One of many good points: many non-BS jobs are non-BS because “BS” tasks have been outsourced to another occupation. Source url on last pic.

    “Radical” internet critic Jaron Lanier warns against regulation, & says megafirms are more likely to “reform themselves.” 🙄 (From )

    Not too surprising to see the Chief Executive of Google Italy participated in discussions of the 5-star impresario’s “ant colonies.”

    Here’s Shapiro rebuking one of the best arguments against the merger. A media law scholar like C. Edwin Baker could easily show how unnecessarily crabbed & limited this “apolitical,” econocratic perspective is.

    Total subsumption: bending all of life to arbitrary measures of value. From “The Econocracy.”

    And the press keeps falling for these fallacious predictions, like Charlie Brown with the football. I see seems to have eliminated its earlier slide of projections, but this still makes the point. 2006--"OMG the sky is falling by 2018!"

    Excellent points. I'd also note that have been sounding the "insolvency" alarm since 1970! From my article: Also, where is the concern about the military budget? The $5 trillion war?

    On crises of social science caused by the computer model of the mind—one of many great essays here: via . Mudge & also compelling.

    Oh, yes. I've been to many a workshop convened to address a given problem, only to find that a critical mass of academics/corporates blocked forceful recommendations by asking: "Do we really understand the problem?" Acemoglu is good on this phenomenon:

    On the possibility that there will always be “many small companies and a few market leaders in the tech sector” Good chart from post:

    Wondering who will write the "Democracy Incorporated" of this presidency, as Wolin did for Dubya.

    The press’s choice: 1) continually call out lies & dent its patina of objectivity 2) normalize lying Not hard to game this out: 1) means some short term pain; 2) means the end of White House journalism as a profession & its full transformation into mere entertainment.

    Ha! Yes. Meanwhile, looks like GAFA may be dreaming of organizing the world’s war-information. All to serve man, I’m sure.

    Devastating perspective on risks of cryptocurrencies Bottom line: there is a societal interest in regulating money that technology should not (& almost certainly cannot) rout around. Rule of persons, not machines. (via )
