"When we think of tyrants or dictators, I think many of us conjure up either Orwellian or, rather, Stalinist-type regimes - digital interface: Attention Economy Interlude: A response to questions
"The most important thing I want to say, if I haven't been clear, is that the flow of attention is a self-organized phenomenon, with each individual acting autonomously to direct their attention according to their own interests and motivations. So the attention economy would actually realize many of the virtues of a laissez-faire model - Let’s redefine “security”
"It’s curious: the difference in goals and happiness between those of us who have bet on a a lifestyle and work based on the hacker ethic and those who are remain salaried looks a lot like the contrast between the richest 1% of U.S. citizens and the other 99%. What’s the key? Security. For many years, we were taught that security, the basis of a life without economic worries (something highly valued after the hunger and shortages of post-war Spain and Europe) was achieved with an indefinite labor contract with the State or Big Business. It hardly mattered that by that time, the scale of the State and Big Business was already the cause of the precariousness in the first place. Culture takes time to adapt to economic changes. Now that these scales have led to the European disaster, culture will have to find a new definition of security. I propose a simple one: security is having autonomy, having your destiny depend first on your skills and the cohesion of your community, rather than on the abilities and strategies of bosses that you didn’t choose, who work in structures you didn’t help define, which only serve to to generate (or capture) economic rents for other people.

- Québec's Student Strike Turning Into a Citizens' Revolt
"On May 22, nearly half a million people marched in the streets of Montreal in defiance of a recently adopted law denying protester's civil liberties, namely the right to protest, freedom of association and of expression. A crowd made up of students, professors, children and citizens from every walk of life marched peacefully throughout the city, ignoring provisions prohibiting any deviation from the planned itinerary and disrupting the commercial and banking district. The crowd openly defied articles of Bill 78, which make any gathering of over 50 protesters illegal, and chanted for the resignation of Premier Jean Charest, who has systematically refused to meet with the students personally. " - Amazon and the Engagement Economy | Canadian Centre for Studies in Publishing
" Farhad Manjoo blogged over at Pandodaily that “Nobody Seems to Understand What Jeff Bezos is Doing. Does He?” I think it’s fair to say that Jeff Bezos, along with rest of the decision makers at Amazon, have a very good idea what they’re doing. The fact that it is not clear to many others — particularly in the publishing industry — is also apparent. The amount of ink spilled in recent months about Amazon’s seemingly predatory practices, their disregard for traditional industry practices and values, and even their penchant for “evil”, speaks to an environment where some very divergent things are afoot." - Cognitive Democracy — Crooked Timber

- Linking Social Capital to Small-worlds: A look at local and network-level processes and structure « Learning Research
"In the past decade, two topics have generated much interest in the idea of social networks and network analysis. These are social capital, popularised by Robert Putnam, and small-worlds, popularised by Duncan Watts and Albert-László Barabási. Social capital highlights local processes and network structures, theorizing the ways in which relations and their patterns link individuals and groups to resources and beneficial outcomes. Small-worlds emphasizes global network structures, describing how large, heterogeneous networks can nonetheless appear small to individual actors, largely as a result of the high clustering and weak, bridging ties that make up these networks‘ structure. Although social capital and small-worlds share social networks as a common basis, they emphasize different sides of a spectrum: social capital focuses on the local and small-worlds on the global. In addition, both focus on seemingly different social phenomena: social capital emphasizes access to resources, whereas small-worlds emphasize the tension of actors living in a social world that is simultaneously large and small. In spite of these differences, the literature points towards overlaps in the ways in which network structure is described: both social capital and small-worlds discuss structures of openness and closure, and these structural overlaps provide a means by which to start exploring, on a theoretical level, additional ways in which to bring about a synthesis of the two bodies of literature. " - Europe is at risk of War - what should we do? | Edgeryders
"Right now, both countries are clearly pre-revolutionary. Greece has school children passing out in class from hunger due to “austerity measures” and may be in the process of ditching the Euro so they can inflate the Drachma to devalue their currency and remove the weight of their debts - and sod whoever they owe the money to. Spain is at 50% youth unemployment and nearly 25% total unemployment, with 20% being the tradition unemployment figure associated with civil unrest." - Facebook’s Real Question: What’s the “Native Model”? | John Battelle's Search Blog

"his December, the International Telecommunication Union, a government-centric UN treaty body, will decide whether and how it might regulate policy and technical standards for the global Internet in the future. Until now, the ITU has been dedicated to setting technical standards for interoperability of international telecommunications, radio, and satellite systems, in addition to promoting access to ICT. However, some member states have expressed interest in expanding the ITU’s mandate to cover Internet-related technical and policy matters. The emergence of the ITU as a regulatory body for the Internet would shift authority away from the decentralized, multistakeholder approach that has served the Internet since its inception, and make Internet regulation a more centralized and less inclusive process." - The Future of Finance - rebuilding it ourselves (video)

Meanwhile, ecommerce companies can reward users with Credits for marking purchases or signing up for email lists." - Management of virtual decentralized networks, the case of linux

The changes that will make things whole and coherent, which will make a place for everyone, will be driven by those who love life and abundance, those who keep alive the dreams of Fourier and the utopians, of Lafargue’s The Right to Laziness and of the multispecialist, reborn and made visible by the Internet."

Its once bustling community now feels like an exurban neighborhood rocked by a housing crisis. Yards gone to seed. Rusting bikes in the front yard. Tattered flags. At address, after address, after address, no one is home. It is a case study of what can go wrong when a nimble, innovative startup gets gobbled up by a behemoth that doesn't share its values.

"CV Dazzle is a response. It is a form of expressive interference that combines highly stylized makeup and hair styling with face-detection thwarting designs. CV, or computer vision, Dazzle is an updated version of the original dazzle camouflage from WWI, which was used to protect warships from submarine attacks. Like the original dazzle war paint, CV Dazzle is an unobvious style of camouflage because its eye-catching patterns and colors draw attention instead of hiding from it. As decoration, CV Dazzle can be boldly applied as hair styling or makeup, or together in combination with accessories. As camouflage, this facial markup works to protect against automated face detection and recognition systems by altering the contrast and spatial relationship of key facial features.

- Rio 20 and the cultural dimension of sustainability - Ecology
"We have seen that many local and national strategies for sustainable development have failed because they forgot culture. When the current paradigm of sustainability is applied by governments in their long-term planning, the economic dimension is always explicit (it generates income and employment, and thus exports), the social dimension focuses on equity (health and education, and fight against poverty) whereas the environmental dimension aims (and is sometimes successful) to introduce a balance in the consumption of resources within the local ecologies. Culture is either ignored, or it appears as an instrument to achieve other goals. Yes, culture is in the economic dimension, but it cannot be reduced to an instrument for economic growth (where the drift of the so-called creative class have led). Yes, culture is in the social dimension, but it cannot be simplified to provide cohesion to a society (this is the dream of all fundamentalisms, and the nightmare of those who love freedoms). Yes, culture has an environmental dimension but we cannot just use it to raise awareness on environmental responsibility. Culture is much more than an instrument. It is the soul of development and cherishes intrinsic values as heritage, knowledge, creativity, diversity or identity. Culture allows citizens to have a life full of conscience and meaning.
