Power doesn't love you back
From Plato’s ring of Gyges to Hume, Madison, Orwell and Arendt, the greatest minds in history warned us not to trust power. So why do we keep printing politicians’ faces on T-shirts? An essay on governments, idols and Brazil’s endless wait for a savior.

When Intelligence Is No Longer the Scarce Resource
On AI, vision, curiosity, and the freedom to explore I came across a short Instagram clip this morning featuring Alexandr Wang, founder of Scale AI, making an observation that stopped me in my tracks. Intelligence, he argues, is becoming abundant. For most of human history, intelligence has been one of the great bottlenecks of progress....

I pinched a sentence from Francesca Ferrando’s The Art of Being Posthuman: Life is a journey, and we are the wanderers: anything can happen, and eventually does. I like the mischief in that last clause. You think you’ve seen everything? Just you wait. But it’s the word wanderers that keeps me here. I can travel...

When the Story That Saved You Becomes Too Small
Some stories save us by making the world smaller. They take a bewildering field of possibilities and cut a path through it. Be the reliable one. Keep moving. Make yourself useful. Don't let them see you struggle. Find the lesson. Turn the wound into something meaningful. For a while the narrowing helps. It gives us...

Time Is on Your Side: Listening to Coldplay’s Amsterdam
Time Is on Your Side: Listening to Coldplay's Amsterdam Coldplay's Amsterdam begins with a star going out. A man is swerving, losing his grip, blaming himself for moving too soon and then insisting that he waited as long as he could. He can't get the timing right. That feels true to the way despair works....

Clinging on to sanity
"The implications of all this are profound. First, our understanding of political risk has to change. We are no longer dealing with actors who are constrained by norms, expectations, or even basic human decency. Second, the institutional safeguards that we assumed would provide protection look increasingly fragile. If those in power are willing to ignore...

Der Plan von der Abschaffung des Asyls
"Das Asylrecht setzt voraus, dass wir das Leid anderer als rechtlich relevant anerkennen. Wenn Empathie politisch diskreditiert wird, verliert das Recht seine Basis. Die Asylpolitik der Gegenwart lebt von dieser Empathieverweigerung. Sie setzt auf Distanz, auf administrative Neutralisierung. Wer Zuständigkeits- und Zulässigkeitsregeln so ausbaut, dass bereits die Möglichkeit der Antragstellung zur Odyssee wird, stiehlt sich...

The mad king’s digital killswitch
"The very worst-case speculative scenario for Huawei-as-Chinese-Trojan-horse is infinitely better than the non-speculative, real ways in which the US has killswitched and bugged the world's devices." Cory Doctorow explains why responsible governments should have to accelerate their countries' independence from US tech and not just Russian gas. pluralistic.net

Darth Android
"Tech bosses are fundamentally at war with the idea that our digital devices contain general purpose computers. The general-purposeness of computers – the fact that they are all Turing-complete, universal von Neumann machines – has created tech bosses' fortunes, but now that these fortunes have been attained, the tech sector would like to abolish that...

Was Griechenland wusste: das tödliche Geschäft des Abu Sultan
"Eine monatelange Untersuchung unter der Leitung des griechischen Investigativmediums Solomon und des Netzwerks Arab Reporters for Investigative Journalism in Zusammenarbeit mit El País und der taz ergab, dass die griechischen Behörden schon früh wussten, dass die 'Pylos 9' unschuldig waren, sie aber fast ein ganzes Jahr in Untersuchungshaft behielten." Griechenland kriminalisiert systematisch die Opfer eines...

Letter from Birmingham jail
"Moreover, I am cognizant of the interrelatedness of all communities and states. I cannot sit idly by in Atlanta and not be concerned about what happens in Birmingham. Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly."

European Comission gives EU-US data transfers third round at CJEU
"This third attempt to pass largely the same unlawful decision also raises questions as to the larger role of the European Commission being the guardian of the EU treaties. Instead of upholding the 'rule of law' the Commission simply passes an invalid decision over and over again, despite clear rulings by the CJEU."

Aaron's army
This speech, in honor of Aaron Swartz, pretty much sums up why I work on the web. This is why it's worthwhile. He was part of an army of citizens that rejects kings and generals and believes in rough consensus and running code. [...] Aaron Swartz was not a criminal, he was a citizen, and he was a brave soldier in a war which continues today, a war in which corrupt and venal profiteers try to steal and hoard and starve our public domain for their own private gain.

Sir Tim Berners-Lee, on August 19, 1991: [...] This project is experimental and of course comes without any warranty whatsoever. However, it could start a revolution in information access. We are currently using WWW for user support at CERN. We would be very interested in comments from anyone trying WWW, and especially those making other data available, as part of a truly world-wide web. Tim Berners-Lee's original WWW announcement. Almost twenty-one years later, Sir Tim tweeted from the Londo
