Gipfeltreffen! #AlanMoore zu Gast bei #TeamHuman von #DouglasRushkoff beim Plausch darüber, wie wir den autoritären Obermackern unsere Vorstellungsgabe wieder entwenden können.
GMG! Das ist, wie die Elysischen Gefilde besuchen, um Mendelsohn und Brahms beim Fachsimpeln über JSBach zu lauschen.

Douglas @rushkoff.com says it all, and it is #CollectiveShamanism. Let's do it:
"Those of us who've had the privilege of escaping that virtual reality for moments at a time, for moments long enough to navigate soulfully and somatically rather than selfishly or strategically, yes, we ought to do it because it's not even a personal activity. What you quickly realize is that we humans and other life forms are navigating this wave collectively. How well we do is dependent on how many of us can retrieve these more essential sensibilities, the ratio of free living people to captive or unconscious ones. We don't have to rely solely on propaganda to convince people to make appropriate choices. Not when we have effective memes. When we act with compassion and resonance in appreciative surrender to the way things are trying to unfold, we model something else, a #collectiveshamanism, a shared awe, a glimpse of what it feels like to live on #TeamHuman." #DouglasRushkoff

"O texto nos deu o judaísmo. A imprensa nos deu o protestantismo. O que esta nova tecnologia (digital) nos dá?… Se não criarmos uma sociedade que ao menos saiba que existe algo chamado programação, acabaremos sendo não os programadores, mas os usuários e, pior, os usados.”
("Programe, ou seja programado", #DouglasRushkoff)
"…ou nós íamos para a cozinha preparar o prato que nós queríamos comer, com os temperos que nós queríamos colocar e dar um gosto brasileiro na comida, ou nós iríamos comer aquilo que a Microsoft queria vender para a gente."

Es gibt keinen Ausweg, es gibt kein nächstes Mal. Es gibt nur «jetzt». Wenn wir es jetzt nicht tun, werden wir es nie tun.
Jetzt. Gemeinsam.
Das Buch ist spannend und leicht geschrieben, sehr empfehlenswert.

"Think of it this way. We built the net as a safe refuge for the counterculture. Corporations invaded the net, they took it over, and turned it into an accelerationist nightmare.
But they're ignoring the real world in the process. They believe they're leaving it behind, for something abstract and better, and as far as I'm concerned, let them take the net. As long as we can take back the real world.
They get the net, and we'll have each other."

Ep. 342 Could the end of employment be the beginning of something better? Rushkoff traces the history of work from medieval markets to AI automation to find hope in the cracks of collapse. He shows how the loss of “jobs” could open space for cooperation, creativity, and real human connection.

"... I keep coming back to this feeling that we're existing on this very thin membrane over ... just an ocean of tears. And, I've got more courage to go there and touch it, but it's ... there's so much grief!"

"By leaving politics out [of the psychedelics movement] we just got co-opted by the worst of the worst. Same with the net, it's like we followed John Barlow; 'governments stay away, we don't need you', and it's like 'oh no, the corporations took over'."

Barlow was responding to the kind of wrongheaded attempts at net regulation we've seen so many times recently; link taxes, youth bans, etc.
