@prologic@twtxt.net I’m not smart enough to answer that question. 😅 Certainly feels like unregulated capitalism. Governments being too slow and/or unwilling to intervene … It’s a mess.

** Not what I was expecting **
A while ago I was talking with someone about books. I mentioned that I like to read capital R romance novels, and like 19th century literary realism.
This person excitedly recommended Victor LaValle’s The Changeling. Knowing nothing about it, and because I pretty much say“yes” to any book recommendation I get from a real live person that I can find at the library, I’ve been reading it.
My dude. What the fuck!? This is just horror. 🥲😨 ⌘ Read more

Trendism follows the logic of capital. The more capital you have, the less risk any investment is & the more you stand to gain from it. Given a diverse portfolio, a large investment will grow while a small one disappears: capital’s gravity at work.

In one sense, ‘the computer revolution is over’ because the period of exponential growth behind the tech ended 10 years ago. In another sense, it hasn’t begun: we have sheltered ourselves from the social and intellectual ramifications of computing. Documents are still simulations of paper, & capitalism still exists. So it’s like that period where printing presses existed but everybody used a faux-calligraphic font.
Pet peeve: folks who identify the neoliberal techno-utopian california-ideology currents with cyberpunk. To the extent that the cyberpunk literary movement had consistent politics, they were critical of Regan-flavored capitalism.
