No Comments on The Herd Reich: Machinery of Mass Influence

Nobody needs to control the machinery. Repeated communication changes what people notice, expect and respond to, gradually reshaping the culture and politics that emerge from those interactions.

populism, unmasked

Populism is not an opinion. It is a phase dynamic.

trust

No Comments on trust

Authenticity is not destroyed by media so much as converted into an interface problem: a carefully arranged background, a handful of familiar signals, and the strange little theatre by which the network teaches the self how to appear real.

Cognitive Bandwidth and the Politics of Belief

No Comments on Cognitive Bandwidth and the Politics of Belief

Cognitive bandwidth becomes cultural destiny because the carrying capacity of technologically mediated communication systems exceeds the carrying capacity of the biological minds living inside them.

Communication Breakdown: the more things change, the more they stay the same

No Comments on Communication Breakdown: the more things change, the more they stay the same

We keep asking whether artificial intelligence will take control of the world. Yet a quieter possibility sits beneath the question: the systems already shaping events may not be controlled by any single intelligence at all. Complex adaptive systems rarely possess a master node; and this absence, curiously, is precisely the binding unity of the system. […]

No Comments on No Good War

There is a familiar habit among commentators and observers to reach backward into history whenever the present becomes frightening, as though the archive might reassure us that the machinery of civilisation has seen worse and survived. Maybe it has. But what we are dealing with now looks less like a familiar historical episode and more […]
