Abstract: We show the simplicity of the automorphism groups of the generic $n$-hypertournament and the semigeneric tournament, and determine the normal subgroups of the automorphism groups of several other ultrahomogeneous oriented graphs. We also give a new proof of the simplicity of the automorphism group of the dense $\frac{2\pi}{n}$-local order $\mathbb{S}(n)$ for $n \geq 2$ (a result due to Droste, Giraudet and Macpherson). Previous techniques of Li, Macpherson, Tent and Ziegler involving stationary weak independence relations (SWIRs) cannot be applied directly to these structures; our approach involves applying these techniques to a certain expansion of each structure, where the expansion has a SWIR and its automorphism group is isomorphic to a stabiliser subgroup of the automorphism group of the original structure.

"The Rise of the Voluntariat" by Geoff Shullenberger (found via D. Graeber's "Bullshit Jobs").
"""
The voluntariat performs skilled work that might still command a wage without compensation, allegedly for the sake of the public good, regardless of the fact that it also contributes directly and unambiguously to the profitability of a corporation. Like the proletariat, then, the voluntariat permits the extraction of surplus value through its labor.
But unlike the proletariat’s labor, the voluntariat’s has become untethered from wages. The voluntariat’s labor is every bit as alienable as the proletariat’s — Coursera’s Translator Contract leaves no doubt about that — but it must be experienced by the voluntariat as a spontaneous, non-alienated gift.
And the voluntariat is not, like the proletariat, the instrument of its own dispossession. Rather, its contribution of uncompensated work accelerates deskilling and undermines the livelihood of those who do not have the luxury of working for free — in this case, professional translators who cannot afford to give away their labor.
