An example of the mess from #deathcult centrism

Don’t worry too much, the corporate world has solutions, we look here at #ESG which stands for Environmental, Social, and Governance. Its advocates say that if companies disclose enough data about their environmental and social behaviour, “good” corporate conduct will be rewarded by investors with higher share prices. Let's really look at #ESG, for what they are, #greenwash, a system of delay, distraction, and capture - on this #deatcult path this it is not a mistake, it is a function. […]

What Did We Learn from Web3, Crypto?

Looking back from the mid-2020s, the arc of #web03, #NFTs, and blockchain culture is very clear. What once promised (lied about) decentralisation, liberation, and a break from corporate capture now looks like the same, mess, #techcurn pattern repeating itself, yes it had new language, new branding, but it was easy to see it had the same underlying mess making dynamics. As these #geekproblem projects hollowed out, the signs became hard to ignore. The technical optimism faded, the user bases […]

Digital Detox Is Urgently Needed

Fighting #fashionistas with fashion. We have an app outline for that: iPhone or android. Not as a lifestyle tweak, not as wellness branding, not as another individual “better habits” story. These proposed apps and the wider projects have nothing to do with self-optimisation, productivity hacks, or personal purity. Framing it that way is already defeat - that’s #stupidindividualism doing the work of the #dotcons for them. What we’re facing in our digital mess isn’t only a failure […]

The old #mainstreaming is about building equality in our worship of the #deatcult. This is why #fashernista liberal progressivism
is always a problem to compos #KISS

We need to focus on real change and challenge. What does this look like to you?

The Blockchain Socialist: Self-Destruction as Theory

The Blockchain Socialist podcast is the deluded self-destructive talking about the deluded self-destructive in tech. It’s a mirror of our time: intellectuals dissecting the ruins while still worshipping the same #deatcult gods that caused the collapse. I am listening to an example of this Urbit - a hardcoded, reactionary dream of order built on decentralization, doomed from the start. Not only because the code is bad, but because the culture is. Control disguised as liberation. Hierarchy […]

YouTube and the #deathcult of “Independent” Media

Over the last ten years, we’ve all been spending more and more time on #YouTube. And maybe you’ve noticed something strange: many of the channels you once thought of as independent are no longer independent at all. They’ve been quietly bought up by private equity firms with billions in backing from SoftBank, Amazon, Disney, Goldman Sachs, Blackstone - the usual #mainstreaming priests of the #deatcult. Channels like Task & Purpose, Vice, Veritasium, Donut Media, Simple History, […]

Pick up the shovel, build the commons

Right now, our digital lives are stuck between two bad choices: Stranded silos, your notes, photos, chats locked into one device. #dotcons capture, hand it all to Google, Apple, Meta, and rent your own history back from them. We deserve better. What we actually need is simple: A blob of data that syncs across devices. A conflict resolution flow. Sync is hard, but not impossible — better to resolve a clash than lose control. A protocol path that isn’t “just another cloud,” but part of […]

The tech world is in a state of chaos and dysfunction

People don't like to talk about how the tech world is worshipping a #deatcult to push a state of chaos and dysfunction. It's KISS That we need to compost this mess, but to do this we need to reckon with the consequences of our past decisions to understand how we arrived at this. Over the past four decades, there has been an intertwining of #postmodernist social thinking and #neoliberal economic planing. This marriage of #ideologies led to fractured social values and pushed out of sight the […]
