For most of us, #AI is annoying, but for #Myanmar it's bringing death. Two new reports on 'digital dictatorship' were released by #HumanRights Myanmar today. They show that "the military is weaponising surveillance to crush all civic space" ... humanrightsmyanmar.org/impact-of-di...

Ja, wollte ich nicht darunter schreiben, weil potentiell demotivierend, aber so ist.
Daher: Wenn man eh nichts machen kann (um drinzubleiben), kann man auch darüber nachdenken, was anderes zu machen (um rauszukommen). Ich wünsche Dir, dass Du Deinen Weg findest!

Tut mir so leid, Amrei. Du bist nicht wertlos, das ist das Wichtigste, was ich Dir schreiben möchte. Wir kennen uns gar nicht persönlich, aber sei Dir sicher, dass Du einer ganzen Generation geholfen hast, #Wissenschaft realistisch zu sehen. Ich verweise in Beratungen immer wieder auf #IchBinHanna!

"Power doesn't always corrupt. Power always reveals. When you have enough power to do what you always wanted to do, then you see what the guy always wanted to do."

Ähnlich wie „Zivilgesellschaft“ für Arendt ist für mich „Gemeinschaft“ eigentlich kein Konzept, dass das Handeln (Action) ermöglicht. Es verbleibt- egal wie revolutionär die Communities gestaltet sind - immer ein vollstümelnder Rest. Hab ein ganzes Buch darüber nachgedacht, von daher so vehement…

Immer die Mitglieder. Und da es solche gibt, ist Gemeinschaft immer auch potentiell ethno-nationalistisch, ethno-religiös, rassistisch. Weil dies leider die einfachsten Marker sind, entlang derer sich Mitglieder voneinander abgrenzen. Klasse/Gender sind volatiler, bzw weniger „einheitssuggerierend“.

„Ich bin in die 90er Jahre zurückkatapultiert“ : An diesem Mann zeigt sich, wie abhängig Europa im Digitalen von den USA ist Die USA haben den französischen Richter Nicolas Guillou mit Sanktionen belegt. Deshalb kann er nur noch bar bezahlen und eingeschränkt reisen.

„Er bezeichnet sich selbst als ‚Testperson für den Mangel an digitaler Souveränität Europas’. Und er sagt: ‚Alles, was in meinem persönlichen Leben nicht mehr möglich ist, zeigt die Schwächen Europas und wo es ein Vasall der Großmächte ist.‘“

This, however, is cool: Althusser suggesting in which order to start reading #Lacan as a beginner! #psychoanalysis

The text reads as if Althusser summarised #Lacan for himself - to
see whether he was able to. It reads way too difficult for readers unfamiliar with his theory. But he raises the interesting question about the “theoretical (!) silence” of psychoanalysts who practice analytically, but do not theorize

Unclear why Althusser calls the symbolic order the “Law of Culture” and also “discourse of the unconscious” - this does not clarify anything, but rather confuses levels of abstractions, I’d say …

Each stage by the sexed infant is traversed in the realm of Law, of the codes of human assignment, communication and non-communication; his ‘satisfactions’ bear the indelible and constitutive mark of the Law, of the claims of human Law, that, like all law, cannot be ‘ignored’ by anyone, least of all by those ignorant of it, but may be evaded or violated by everyone, above all by its most faithful adherents. That is why any reduction of childhood traumas to a balance of ‘biological frustrations’ alone, is in principle erroneous, since the Law that covers them, as a Law, abstracts from all contents, exists and acts as a Law only in and by this abstraction, and the infant submits to this rule and receives it from his first breath…”

Counter #Thalia - so gehts auch:
Hört euch doch einfach den intonierten Spaziergang am Canal St. Denis zu Aimé Césaire an, den Vater der #negritude.
Organisiert vom Pariser Théatre de la Commune anlässlich des Festivals d’Automne Paris 2024.

Also, this is why we need the #humanities a because whoever wrote this speech did a very good job at hiding-not-hiding a ton of references that sound innocent to those who don‘t know “how to do things with words“.
If you agree with #Rubio |s words, you agree to what will follow from them…

I read #Rubio |s speech. If German politicians, if #Europe |s politicians applauded afterwards, they have agreed to become vassal states of the US. Like Belarus for Russia. The “our” and “we” may have sounded inclusive to some, but the uttered “demand” in combination with “care” is purely colonial.
