Webber’s unsettling revelations do not end in defeatism, however; rather, he is inspired toward “a definite sense of new direction.” While he possesses a keen awareness of the corruption that surrounds him, he also exhibits a distinct optimism for the future, particularly the future of America, which he believes still has the capacity to conquer evil, and in the end he insists that “this glorious assurance is not only our living hope, but our dream to be accomplished.” Webber’s conception of the future is thus one that simultaneously encompasses and rejects a nostalgic view of the past, as his forward-looking vision is shaped by a longing for the return of a past moment that collides with the realization of its impossibility. Of course, Wolfe is not the only American writer to contend with a nostalgic impulse that is deeply connected to experiences of chaos and change. As social, industrial, and technological shifts continued to inform art, politics, and commerce over the course of the twentieth century, writers ranging from F. Scott Fitzgerald to Toni Morrison also examined the allure of looking back, of yearning for a purportedly more stable past. Yet I would argue that there are few contemporary American writers who examine the complexity of nostalgia with more depth, breadth, curiosity, and prescience than Joan Didion. Like Wolfe before her, Didion acknowledges the multitude of ways we might define “home,” and recognizes the inevitable pull of nostalgia for a particular time, place, aesthetic, hope, ideology, or feeling even as she, too, harbors an increasing mistrust of past narratives that “once seemed everlasting.” Yet Didion takes these ideas much further than Wolfe—and further than most writers, for that matter. Her engagement with nostalgia is not confined to a single character, publication, or era, but defines her fiction and nonfiction across decades, informing her discussions of politics, gender, rhetoric, media, and much more. Her nostalgia also becomes increasingly future-oriented, in a way that is more cautious than that of a character like George Webber, but which nevertheless undermines assessments of her worldview as nihilistic or fatalistic, and complicates common understandings of nostalgia as a purely conservative impulse." ... "Indeed, nostalgia is at the center of nearly everything she wrote, and I argue that by investigating the various ways she engages with and defines the concept in both fiction and nonfiction, we can better understand the contradictory terms that have come to define Didion’s writing and literary persona: fatalistic and hopeful, fragile and strong, detached and connected, feminist icon and antifeminist, humble and haughty, conservative and liberal. Reading Didion’s work through the lens of nostalgia theory allows us to better understand the source of these tensions, and to reevaluate her views on American history, regional identity, hubris and imperialism, gender, political theater, the counterculture, national rhetoric, grief and loss, and more." ... "While Didion’s cultural observations are often filtered through a personal experience of nostalgia, more often the latter functions as a critical lens that she discerningly turns onto twentieth-century American culture. At the same time, nostalgia theory becomes a tool we might turn back onto Didion’s work, useful in probing not only her own enigmatic ideas but also the ways modern American history has been narrativized, and how that impacts our cultural and political discussions in the present moment. An interrogation of nostalgia is also, I would argue, part of her own truth-seeking project as a New Journalist, and her exploration of the allure and menace of nostalgia takes on new dimensions as she directs her gaze outward. Indeed, the nature of New Journalism as a genre allows Didion to demonstrate an acute awareness of her own narrative construction; she draws attention to the fact that her cultural criticism might be tinged with nostalgia and then proceeds to critique this tendency in herself." ... "In both fiction and nonfiction, she documents the ways that America has used nostalgia to “pernicious” effect on a political and imperial level, a factor that continues to shape our national mythos (Where I Was From). As a nearly ubiquitous presence, nostalgia becomes a recurring theme, a character trait, a narrative perspective, a subject of her criticism, and a critical device in her work. Didion’s work emphasizes that while nostalgia can be paralyzing and foster stagnation when wielded at the institutional level and as an unquestioned worldview, political tactic, or marketing technique, it is also a natural inclination, one that allows us to make sense of our place in the world at any given moment, and can be a tool for uncovering personal truths and identifying cultural and national myths."]]> joandidion nostalgia home memory 2026 maggiemckinley thomaswolfe time fscottfitzgerald tonimorrison literature svetlanaboym society collectivememory politics psychology art

https://2ndbreakfast.audreywatters.com/the-ai-diner/ robertogreco1. So-called predictive AI is used to collect their data, to make unaccountable and discriminatory decisions about their futures, and to surveil and discipline their interactions with educational systems 2. So-called generative AI is used to capture and monopolise cultural and educational content, to advance hegemonic languages and perspectives, and to replace pedagogical relationships with automated agents 3. The narrative of ‘AI futures’ is used to refocus educational outcomes around the automation of intellectual work, stunting the development of young people’s capacities, and preparing them for work that will be precarious, exploitative, and algorithmically disciplined Beetham makes very clear that we already have a long list of documented harms that digital technologies, including AI and chatbots, have done to young people. It's a long long long long list. ----- Incidentally, I keep hearing some of the patrons of those digital diners say that "we don't have any research yet" about the effects of AI. (Others, just as loudly, are busily hyping fraudulent research and claiming AI is unbelievably, utterly transformative.) Folks, we have at least 50 years of research on the effects of AI on students. We do, in fact, know a lot about chatbots and algorithms and various media/computing literacies; there are decades of debate on how best to design assignments and assessments – digital assignments and assessments. Just because some people started paying to ed-tech in 2023 doesn't mean no one has ever thought about or studied this stuff until now. And no matter what that research on AI and education might say – it's good! it's terrible! it's mediocre AF! – people do still have every right to say "no thanks." Bless your heart, social scientists, but often your findings are wrong, even if they're statistically significant. Life is so much messier, so much more complex than experimental design. (Much like my embrace of the word "Luddite," I'm going to start nodding and cheering for "moral panic" when it's used to belittle people's opposition to technology. "Yes, in fact, I do have a moral code. Don't you?" That said, I'm not panicked as much as furious. Yet exhausted.) ----- We are suffering, in part, from an amnesia that erases the past (all the coverage this week, for example, that touted Google's AI announcements at its flagship developer conference as if it has suddenly added artificial intelligence to its products – as if it has not been, since its very founding, an AI company). We are suffering at the same time from a nostalgia that keeps us stuck in an invented past: I can almost guarantee you that Jony Ive's company, acquired this week by OpenAI, will be making AI-enhanced spectacles, because AI is a Cold War fantasy and these men are all still fixated on some juvenile, comic book con about X-ray glasses. But mostly, it seems, people are suffering, and the story selected from the diners at least, is that AI promises salvation. It's way too easy a story to tell, but not so easy a tall tale to swallow. A lot of us – even more than you might think – are choking on it."]]> audreywatters 2025 ai artificialintelligence luddism luddites neoluddites neoluddism resistance morality politics us journalism

anywhere who lives under occupation and injustice how to resist that occupation and that injustice. There is no acceptable form of resistance in the view of the institutions doing the oppressing. You engage in boycotts, that's economic terrorism. You try to march peacefully, you are shot with the intent to kill and or maimed. You boycott cultural institutions, you are being illiberal. You take up arms, you are a terrorist, and you will be wiped out. All you can do is die. That is your only acceptable form of resistance.”" ... "I think one of the more difficult parts of this book, and I talked about it a little bit as a sort of self interrogation, I don't think you can write this kind of book and not contend with the many things you are, including some things that I'm not particularly proud of. And one of those interrogations has to do with this notion of how I describe myself. I describe myself as a pacifist, as a fairly committed proponent of nonviolence. But I have the privilege of saying those words in a relative vacuum, a vacuum created by the fact that I live on the launching end of the bombs. I live within the heart of the empire. And so two things come into clarity that I wish hadn't, but being as though they have, I need to address them. The first is my right to tell anybody under a state of occupation how to resist that occupation, which is no right at all. I have zero right to tell anybody anywhere who lives under occupation and injustice how to resist that occupation and that injustice. Particularly when there is no acceptable form of resistance in the view of the institutions doing the oppressing. You engage in boycotts, that's economic terrorism. You try to march peacefully, you are shot with the intent to kill and or maimed. You boycott cultural institutions, you are being illiberal. You take up arms, you are a terrorist, and you will be wiped out. All you can do is die. That is your only acceptable form of resistance. So first of all, I have absolutely no right to tell anybody how to resist their occupation or a state of injustice. But second, I can sit here and I can tell you how committed I am to nonviolence. And I can believe that fully. But by virtue of the society I live in, by virtue of what my tax dollars are being used to do, I am one of the most violent human beings on earth. And I can't simply brush that away and say, hey, I haven't thrown a punch since I was 15 years old, I'm fully committed to non-violence. I am part of a society that exercises great industrial violence. And at the very least, I should acknowledge that. And that makes it much, much more difficult to then go around parading my views about how violence debases us all. Sure, it does, but I am actively engaged in it right now. That has been a very difficult thing to contend with and I wish I had a sort of easy wraparound answer for it, but I don't." ... "[W]hat I am no longer interested in is love as a form of institutional camouflage. I'm no longer interested in that. I'm no longer interested in stories that talk about how everything was great at the end after all the bad stuff happened. I am interested in that active form of love that is trying to stop the bad thing from happening right now. And I'm seeing so many examples of it and it is the one thing keeping me going. I'm a deeply, I'm not a particularly strong person. I'm a deeply weak person and I need that kind of inspiration. And I am getting it daily from people who are much stronger than me and who are engaged in the kind of love that matters more than any other, I think."
