Istm civilisational resilience and anti fragility is much better served by the difficult task of shoring up schooling & local services than anything directly ai related.

Also we have to question the coherence of the neoliberal tradition as a unitary thing, Hayek & Friedman & Mises all have greatly different metaphysics

Well that depends what you mean by that process, what type of neoliberalism, and what conclusions you draw from it.

I donโ€™t think itโ€™s useful as a distinctive political term, but I think it has its uses to describe certain ideological underpinnings in global history.
There comes a point where calling stuff neoliberal is just describing foundational social assumptions & asking for brownie points.

An archaic Dutch text, translated in the accompanying post: 

De eischen der kunstenaars nemen met den dag toe. Zoo zijn er al verscheidene , die schijnen te willen, dat men ze waardeeren zal - alsof zij reeds dood waren.

Reading a joke book from 1875 and it has no chill tbh

"The demands of artists are increasing by the day. Apparently there are now several who wish to be appreciated ~as if they were already dead~"
