"…realities itself are being sculpted by the shifts & waves of #attention that are happening online, which nobody is in control off…" #RichardDoyle
"#DigitalTechnologies are #psychedelic.
We’ve been on a bad trip. It’s time for us wiggle out, dream better, & allow a more capacious, plural, and harmonious humanity to take the oars together in whatever novel wonders may arise—to neither “give way to astonishment” nor let our fears steer us into the rocks." #MichaelGarfield

So, a long-time, much beloved media legend was stripped of their show recently.

I am of course talking about #MichaelGarfield who left #SFIComplexity, one of my favourite podcasts, at the end of March.

I'm discovering his other (and now primary) podcast, #FutureFossils https://shows.acast.com/futurefossils. I'm disappointed in SFI (though apparently Complexity will continue).

Garfield doesn't appear to post a public email address and isn't on the Fediverse that I'm seeing. He does post to birbsite. The increasingly siloed and feudal Internet is also grating on me....

I have a strong hunch that this is only part of a larger set of fallout in media as the economy, advertising, and other (mostly corporate) support of media and epistemic institutions falters. Though in the broader media world that's not the only factor at play.
