Comment on [reading list] Filter Bubbles, Old and New by Francis Barton

More delicious wizardry being brewed up on this site I see!

Wondered if you had seen Issue 3 of EPD:
http://www.envplan.com/contents.cgi?journal=D&volume=29 on “aerographies”… though here I suppose you are more looking at air as a medium rather than as a space or a substance per se.

and also have you come across Stuart Elden’s blog, he has an interest in Sloterdijk (and territory and security) among many other things?

I thought you’d like to know that I found this through a search for ‘do not touch the walrus’. And it’s very interesting. Hope you’re well.

Comment on [key texts] The Caryatids by m1k3y

lllllllllllLOVE this book so much. You’d never guess it, but the Acquis read like an instruction manual for surviving the future for me; which I’m currently trying to ‘fix’ by merging in DNA-strands from Greek Mystery Cults, the New X-Men, and Sartre.

You might be interested in my talk on Hidden Cyborgism (Cyborgs and Marking theory. The talk is about 20 minutes long, but the discussion is included in the video.)

Had this sitting in my broswer for months apparently (I have open-link-itis), found it again today… does a better job even than Strange Days does, with it’s ‘memory footage’. LIKE

Comment on How I learned to stop worrying and love the hive mind by John Ross Barnes

John Ross Barnes — Wed, 27 Oct 2010 12:12:44 +0000

Thanks for a fascinating & thought provoking post.
Raises a number of intriguing questions, including the one about ownership(s).

Also, upcoming “where do you keep your (extra)mind?” might be a common topic for cocktail parties, or the valid social equivalent thereof.

Geez-Louise Dude, think much?

Comment on Steven Johnson: Innovation & Anarchism by Gregory Rader

Very cool, and dovetails very nicely on our conversation today. The great thing about this idea is that it is apolitical. Social creation does not need support from the government and cannot be taxed out of existence because the money lever is eliminated. People can freely transition from monetized production to social production when/if social production produces better outcomes…and there is very little friction to inhibit that transition.
