A Prism of Global Unease: Entangled Anxiety, Cultural Dislocation, and the Exhaustion of the Global Order From the Open Culture Blog.

The line between war and peace, truth and simulation, culture and capital has blurred.
When AI eats its own data and democracies turn inward, the real question is no longer what’s happening — but what’s becoming of us. open.substack.com/pub/openacce...

Very much a state of dysfunction.

A Prism of Global Unease: Entangled Anxiety, Cultural Dislocation, and the Exhaustion of the Global Order From the Open Culture Blog.

We live in a world where Marines patrol U.S. streets, AI models “run out of data,” and Taylor Swift becomes a billion-dollar brand. Politics militarizes, markets hallucinate, culture monetizes itself. Control and chaos are now co-produced — the new normal.

🪞 In an age where fashion laughs while politics burns, “fun” becomes both refuge and strategy. Levity is labor, care is resistance, and meaning survives not in grand ideals—but in how we keep playing, serving, and creating amid the noise. open.substack.com/pub/openacce...

The Fracturing Hegemon: Strategic Hedging, Infrastructural Power, and the Metabolism of Late Capitalism From the Open Economics Blog.

🎨 Art and fashion now move to capital’s rhythm—VAT cuts as cultural policy, galleries as hedge funds, creativity as currency. Beauty has become the language of finance. The masterpiece isn’t the artwork anymore—it’s the system that sells it. open.substack.com/pub/openacce...

The Fracturing Hegemon: Strategic Hedging, Infrastructural Power, and the Metabolism of Late Capitalism From the Open Economics Blog.

⚖️ From Argentina’s “chainsaw reforms” to Trump’s tariffs and Europe’s green dilemmas, the world experiments with sovereignty under neoliberal strain. Austerity wins headlines, tariffs fuel inflation, and AI drains power—reform or relapse in disguise? open.substack.com/pub/openacce...

The Fracturing Hegemon: Strategic Hedging, Infrastructural Power, and the Metabolism of Late Capitalism

🌐 The world’s no longer a system but a rojak—fragments of power, tech, and culture held together by crisis. As U.S. hegemony frays, nations hedge, AI consumes, and debt disciplines. Are we watching collapse—or the birth of something plural and new? paragraph.com/@openaccessb...

Interweaving Fragmentation and Resilience: Political Spectacle, Technological Disruption, and the Cultural Impulse to Mend in a World Under Pressure From the Open Culture Blog.

🌍 Politics as spectacle blurs into performance, while repair & craft emerge as quiet acts of resistance. Our future may hinge less on grand stages than on small workshops—where durability is forged against the throwaway logic of modernity.
It is spectacle or repair? open.substack.com/pub/openacce...

Interweaving Fragmentation and Resilience: Political Spectacle, Technological Disruption, and the Cultural Impulse to Mend in a World Under Pressure From the Open Culture Blog.

In a world racing ahead with AI and megaprojects, the quiet act of repair—restoring fountains, mending clothes, reviving art—reminds us that resilience lies in preservation as much as acceleration. The real challenge: can we weave care into progress? open.substack.com/pub/openacce...

Interweaving Fragmentation and Resilience: Political Spectacle, Technological Disruption, and the Cultural Impulse to Mend in a World Under Pressure From the Open Culture Blog.

Cities are under siege yet remain democracy’s frontline. As national politics collapses into spectacle & apathy, mayors, repair schemes & cultural projects keep agency alive. The future may be stitched not in parliaments but in neighborhoods. #UrbanPolitics open.substack.com/pub/openacce...
