@to3k@tomaszdunia.pl🇬🇧 I just finished watching the first season of #TedLasso and I must say it was great! I shied away from this series for a long time, because firstly I thought it was some lousy comedy, and then that it was a series about soccer, which I'm not fond of. It turns out that, despite everything, the topic of soccer is almost a side issue, and the series itself, in terms of humor, I liked…

@evemassacre@assemblag.esFallout does the grotesque good, meaning: breaking norms, contrasting the depraved and disgusting with Doris-Day-like shiny happy people vibes. But it doesn't really do much with it. Characters feel kind of detached. Hm. I like it better than the game though because at least it doesn't force you into 1st person POV which I really don't like and Fallout 4 kind of did. It's the only one of those I played.

The case of One Laptop per Child shows us why it is dangerous to ignore the origins of charisma: one risks being perpetually entranced by the newest charismatic technology. This is not to say that cultural change with a technology-centric project is impossible. Still, even more realistic reforms grounded in the realities of their intended beneficiaries sometimes have difficulty gaining broad popular support outside the school unless they add a charismatic gloss of rapid, revolutionary change.
This charismatic pressure can put even open-eyed reformers in a catch-22. They must promise dramatic results to gain the social and financial support for reforms, and then they must either admit to not achieving their goals or pretend that they did achieve them. Either way, funders will declare that the project is finished and withdraw financial support, and then researchers and other observers will begin to note the discrepancies between reformers’ promises and their own observations. Thus, projects that rely on charismatic technologies are often short lived; their resources are cut off before charisma recedes into the background and before the technology becomes part of everyday classroom experience. This catch-22 has dogged efforts for educational reform, development, and cultural change — especially those funded through grants or other short-term funding — for well over a century. As the technology community moves on to the next charismatic device without learning from its failures, this will continue to hamper the possibility of real, if incremental, change.
[…] After all, charisma is ultimately a conservative social force. Even when charismatic technologies promise to quickly and painlessly transform our lives for the better, they appeal precisely because they echo existing stereotypes, confirm the value of existing power relations, and reinforce existing ideologies. Meanwhile, they may divert attention and resources from more complicated, expensive, or politically charged reforms that do not promise a quick fix and are thus less charismatic.
