A very human blog post on being human. Specifically on having a mystery writer's character. Want to get to know me? Perhaps not so much after reading this! 😉

"Human reason is beautiful and invincible. No bars, no barbed wire, no pulping of books, No sentence of banishment can prevail against it. It puts what should be above things as they are. It does not know Jew from Greek nor slave from master."

Czeslaw Milosz

"I believe we should all know each other, we human carriers of so many pleasurable differences. To not know is to doubt, to shrink from, sidestep or destroy."

Y’all. I have a curated list of things that bring me joy plus bytes on design, code, accessibility, privacy, useful tools, and antifascism:

You can subscribe via RSS or email. Either to articles or the periodic bytes or both.

Some people like it. Others want to punch me in the face. But not because I’m a nazi. Maybe you’ll fit into the former group. Then we can like each other.

It's a little sad to look back and think of how much I leaned on alcohol to remove my social anxiety.

So I look at the now, alcohol free, and take the social for what it is: community which appears where I put the energy.

It is not trying to fit into a place where my energy doesn't belong.

A person does not need to be extroverted and outgoing to deserve their place in a community. Humans need the social interaction that fits their humanness.

On the #future of #BeingHuman:
“The argument begins with one danger: the premature closure of the human. Modern civilisation has largely recognised human value through tasks, roles, credentials, wages, outputs, productivity, employability and economic contribution. The #labourunit was never the human. It was a reduction of the human into an externally instructed and measurable unit of prescribed value.

#Artificialintelligence exposes that reduction because it automates much of what the labour economy had already formalised as instruction, workflow, symbol, metric, classification and output. The crisis is not that human value disappears. The crisis is that the inherited grammar through which human value has been recognised can no longer carry the human.

The next danger is that the collapse of labour-unit value does not liberate the human. It may move the human from one commodity form to another: from #labourcommodity to #behaviouralcommodity. The old economy extracted labour. The emerging machine economy risks extracting behaviour, attention, emotion, preference, gesture, intimacy, vulnerability, relation and #becoming.”
