Still thinking about this on the way home...
"maybe we should just give up entirely on optimism or pessimism—we have to do this work no matter how we feel about it. So by force of will or the sheer default of emergency we make ourselves have utopian thoughts and ideas. "
#NCKF25 with an astoundingly profound talk by @mikkelkfrantzen.bsky.social who reminds us of Kim Stanley Robinson's essay dystopias now. The work starts here.

Just re-watched tv series #TheExpanse (yes, I've read the books) and the last scene always kills me.
The Rocinante with that backdrop. I'm not saying it's as utopian as Trek but at least it's hopeful.
I hope humanity makes it. Looking around at now, I doubt we will.
But I hope we do.
Willkommen USA (und allen anderen & Co. etc.) in der veralteten Realität, sprich in der 20ern Technokratie:
»Renaissance einer politischen Bewegung:
Wenn Krisen Demokratie und Markt erschüttern, feiern Technokratie-Visionen ihr Comeback. Zwischen TechBros, Elon Musk und Silicon-Valley-Utopien zeigt sich - Die Sehnsucht nach Expertenherrschaft ist so aktuell wie gefährlich.«

I agree with the storyteller: the experience of having a slave is abhorrent, simulated or not, and this story is a window into something •deep• about the present moment. Even without having slaves, we are all in danger of having a •slaver mindset•. It’s a disease that’s running rampant now in billionaire-shaped techno-utopian circles.
I wrote this thread on the topic earlier:

…and even having written that, it’s still shocking — not surprising, exactly, but shocking — to hear those thoughts expressed so baldly by the colleague in the story above.
