This is where #techbros are at - "For now, there’s a Gatsby-ness to it all."

I should probably made it clearer that I was being ironical, while expressing a feeling of exhaustion with regards to how little political opposition there is to what the digital industry is doing to the #economy and to our #societies by constantly extending #neoliberalism, hurting litterally huge chunks of humanity. And this is not in the future. It is hic et nunc.

Discussing phase transitions between the organizational density of hunter-gatherers, early agricultural and #urban #societies are explored for clues to the day-to-day roles #anarchistic thinking and behaviors play in some of the most cherished aspects of #modern #life.

Drawing upon the work of Emma Goldman, #Wikipedia, the members of the autonomous nation state #Frestonia, #London, and the intentional anarchist commune #Christiana, #Copenhagen.

Are You An Anarchist? The Answer May #Surprise You.
