            2. Falo, em particular, sobre como é planejar um movimento progressivo, construtivo, quando ao redor o fenômeno dominante é a desintegração do tecido social, dentro do declínio e queda do império americano.

            This essay formalizes the Body Alienation concept: the loss of volitional control and awareness that happens when societal and cultural forces restrict our innate movement in childhood. I trace the lineage from ancient mind-body separation to modern sedentary culture.

            This is my last substack, where I talk about life and work reinventions during societal collapse at the epicenter of the economic and political crisis, and how, even that, can be weirdly fascinating.

            Esse é o capítulo do livro que publiquei há 14 anos a respeito do difícil compromisso entre estética e saúde. Eu cunhei a expressão "Alienação Corporal" então para explicar a origem comum de coisas como a aversão irracional ao exercício, #alienaçãocorporal #performance

            the irrational aversion to exercise, unhealthy weight, locomotory disability and a factor in the epidemic of non-transmissible disease. *Body alienation* and its corollaries are at the foundation of my training/coaching philosophy.

            4. Minha conclusão como realista crítica? A resposta não é lutar contra a tecnologia, mas sim moldar seu propósito. Afinal, opor-se à automação do trabalho não é socialismo ou comunismo; é protestantismo.

            3. A sociologia da ciência e da tecnologia (STS) nos ensina que a tecnologia é "a sociedade tornada durável" e que a IA pode moldar nosso comportamento e nossas relações. A grande questão é: podemos usar uma ferramenta criada por big techs para a libertação?

            2. No meu novo ensaio, mergulho nos contrapontos ideológicos entre o tecno-utopismo, o movimento de segurança da IA, o marxismo e a teoria crítica. A IA  é um campo de batalha ideológico que reflete as tensões de nossa sociedade.  #InteligenciaArtificial #FuturoDoTrabalho
