robertogreco“A couple who make a good marriage, and raise a healthy, morally competent children, are serving the world's future more directly and surely than any political leader, though they never utter a public word. A good farmer who is dealing with the problem of soil erosion on an acre of ground as a sound grasp of that problem and cares more about it and is probably doing more to solve it than any bureaucrat who is talking about it in general. A man who is willing to undertake the discipline and the difficulty of mending his own ways is worth more to the conservation movement than a hundred who are insisting merely that the government and the industries mend their ways.”15"]]>haddenturner 2024 via:daniellucas democracy technocracy wendellberry local national global globalization centralization decentralization scale zoominginandout fulfillment governance government place placemaking community responsibility slow small burden individualism collectivism neighbors neighborliness environment politics distraction farms farming land bureaucracyhttps://pinboard.in/https://pinboard.in/u:robertogreco/b:c0ce9b2b8f2e/How to Keep Time - The Atlantic [bookmarking for Season 5, "How to Keep Time" - this podcast covered other topics before that.]2024-01-23T05:11:04+00:00

M. Sacasas2023-10-25T20:58:33+00:00
https://theconvivialsociety.substack.com/p/assuming-responsibility-for-time
robertogreco“Let them leave language to their lonely betters
Who count some days and long for certain letters;
We, too, make noises when we laugh or weep:
Words are for those with promises to keep.”
The implication of the last line is that the making of promises is at least one way in which we might assume responsibility for time.
For her part, Arendt understood that the capacity to promise and to forgive arise, as she wrote,
“directly out of the will to live together with others in5 the mode of acting and speaking. If without action and speech, without the articulation of natality, we would be doomed to swing forever in the ever-recurring cycle of becoming, then without the faculty to undo what we have done and to control at least partially the processes they have let loose, we would be the victims of an automatic necessity bearing all the marks of the inexorable laws which … were supposed to constitute the outstanding characteristic of the natural process.”
In short, she understood that if we were to accept in the present the challenge of acting and speaking what is new into the world, then we must also find a way to relate constructively to the past and to the future, thus her insistence on the necessity of forgiveness and promise.
“The possible redemption from the predicament of irreversibility—of being unable to undo what one has done—” Arendt wrote, “is the faculty of forgiving.”
“The remedy for unpredictability,” she continued, “for the chaotic uncertainty of the future, is contained in the faculty to make and keep promises.”
Notably, she does not indicate that the remedy for the unpredictability of the future is to achieve the capacity to predict it. Unlike prediction, a promise is a way of assuming responsibility. It does so chiefly by drawing the agent directly into the fray. The one who predicts invariably speaks in the language of abstraction—such and such will happen—and evades responsibility for their role in the unfolding of time. The one who promises cannot help but do so by bringing herself to the center of the action. It is always an “I” that promises, and in this way assumes responsibility for what is to come.
As the contemporary German philosopher Vanessa Lemm has put it, “For Arendt, the faculty of promise is essentially a faculty of memory that has the power to bring a body of people back to their beginning, that is, back to the moment when they agreed on an aim and a purpose. In this sense, the promise is a reminder that keeps on bonding the group together and linking the individual back to a past from which it began and from which it can begin again.”
“The promise,” Lemm continued, “exercises control over the future by means of drawing the future ever further into the past. In so doing, the promise reverses the flow of time. Thus, instead of being born into an uncertain future, one is born into a secured past.”
[I go on to talk about how promise relates to hope, but I’ll cut this off here. I hope this at least helps stimulate our thinking about how we relate to the future, especially now that so much may hinge on how we face what is to come.]"]]>ivanillich time conviviality lmsacasas 2020 vanessalemm wendellberry hannaharendt whauden epcotcenter crystalpalace worldsfairs history space spacecolonization progress michaelgillespie modernity johngast prediction future promise mortality natality hope unpredicitiblity forgiving responsibility memoryhttps://pinboard.in/https://pinboard.in/u:robertogreco/b:92601b8b605c/Disconnect | Paris Marx | Substack2023-09-03T17:33:55+00:00

robertogrecoThere is wide support for the welfare state. The support stems from an awareness of the fact that the welfare model turns our collective wealth into wellbeing. We are not paying taxes, we are investing in our society. We are purchasing quality of life. The key to understanding the high levels of well-being in Denmark is the welfare model’s ability to reduce risk, uncertainty, and anxiety among its citizens and to prevent extreme unhappiness.
Another book called The Hygge Life, written by two Scandinavian authors, says much the same thing:
In Scandinavia, the government takes care of many of life’s essential services, such as childcare, education, and health care. The principles of hygge emerged throughout the region in part because its residents do not have to shoulder the burden of responsibility for many of life’s expensive necessities — or bear the insecurity, uncertainty, and anxiety that accompany that burden.
Social democracy can’t solve all of our problems. One big problem it can’t solve is its own fragility.
If capitalists still exist, they will still exploit workers and accumulate wealth, and they will use that wealth to build political power, which they will wield to undermine social democracy itself. This is happening in the Scandinavian social democracies now as neoliberal governments, including some social-democratic parties, privatize public goods and unravel the twentieth-century compromise. The introduction of even mild austerity measures has doubled the number of Danish people living in poverty since 2002 (though it’s still less than one-third of the United States’s poverty rate).
Nor can social democracy absolutely guarantee hygge. It can’t ensure that the snow will fall gently on Christmas Eve, nor that our holiday gathering will be cozy and convivial. As Corey Robin wrote in Jacobin, the right political-economic system can at best promise to “convert hysterical misery into ordinary unhappiness.” The rest is up to us. We have to trim our own tree, and love our own neighbors.
But social democracy — and actual socialism, for that matter — can make time, company, and security easier to obtain. That’s no small feat.
In that way, it can lay the material foundations for a more hyggelig society, one where people are happier and more at ease, and where the reigning principle is not alienation but solidarity."]]>hygge meaganday 2018 denmark socialdemocracy socialism socialsafetynet politics policy happiness comfort us coreyrobin scandinavia solidarity wellbeing responsibility uncertainty anxiety neoliberalism capitalism risk civics qualityoflife pleasure multispecies family trust intimacy peaceofmind leisure work labor health healthcare unions time slow fragility taxes inequality company securityhttps://pinboard.in/https://pinboard.in/u:robertogreco/b:66553d2cb3fc/Bay Area Disrupted: Fred Turner on Vimeo2018-12-01T21:16:03+00:00

http://www.gardnercampbell.net/blog1/?p=2809
robertogreco[W]hat is it exactly that makes a university distinct from other social institutions? [Robert Paul] Wolff offered a compelling definition based on a conception of the ideal university as a “community of learning.” The ideal university, he argued, should be “a community of persons united by collective understandings, by common and communal goals, by bonds of reciprocal obligation, and by a flow of sentiment which makes the preservation of the community an object of desire, not merely a matter of prudence or a command of duty.” Community implies a form of social obligation governed by principles different from those operative in the marketplace and state. Laws of of supply and demand lose priority; wage-labor is not the template for all human relations; the translation of individuals into commodities is resisted. The difficult task of defining common goals or acceptable activity is neither avoided nor deflected onto bureaucracy….
For all their problems, universities and their faculties remain immensely privileged. They retain a freedom of activity and expression not permitted in any other major social institution. There are two justifications for this privilege. One is that it is an essential condition of teaching and learning. The other is that universities have become the major source of moral and social criticism in modern life. They are the major site of whatever social conscience we have left…. If the legitimacy of universities rested only on their service to the marketplace and state, internal freedom would not be an issue. But their legitimacy rests, in fact, on something else: their integrity. Like all privileges, the freedom enjoyed by universities carries correlative responsibilities. In their case it is intellectual honesty and moral courage. Modern universities are the greatest centers of intellectual power in history. Without integrity, they can become little more than supermarkets with raw power for sale. This is the tendency in the modern history of the higher learning. It is what I call the moral crisis of the university.
I firmly believe that these large questions are essential foundations for any effective change or conservation in higher education. For always some new things must be invented, some things will benefit from change, and some things must be conserved. Some core principles must remain non-negotiable. I agree with Katz: tenured faculty in higher education are the last, best hope for addressing these large questions of common goals and acceptable activities.
It may not yet be too late."]]>gardnercampbell via:lukeneff 2018 lifeofthemind liberalarts highered highereducation colleges universities community learning civics robertpaulwolff michaelkatz 1987 howwelearn purpose meaning bureaucracy interdependence collectivism understanding responsibility integrity morality ethics neoliberalismhttps://pinboard.in/https://pinboard.in/u:robertogreco/b:17c316311baa/Gravis McElroy on Twitter: "hey how about that the austin bomber was a deeply mediocre white man with the most basic-ass bone-stock conservative psuedopolitics with the reek of having been culled entirely from online comments who could have predicted"2018-04-02T20:40:29+00:00

… I have no idea. I didn't go to school for this so I'm pretty sure someone at a university has a pretty good lock on why this happened, but yeah, it's kind of an incredibly scary part of our society that I've never seen addressed in any way.
Who told 11 year olds to start casually quipping about killing Barney? I know we weren't enjoying it. It wasn't funny or fun. We felt /compelled/, it was /expected/, and i suspect the motivations were circular with no patient zero to be found.
I can't harp on this enough: Nobody was having fun. Nothing going on on Newgrounds or anywhere else that was in this vein was fun. It wasn't entertaining. Even as dipshit kids, this whole thing was strained.
There was a formula. Nobody knew where it came from, but it seemed to have been there forever. The response to /all/ cultural phenomena was to create something deeply cynical and usually violent and we were doing it like we were punching a clock. The laughs were forced.
I can't prove this. The time has passed, and at the time I had few personal friends. But what my gut told me at the time was that nobody was having a good time, I just didn't know how to read it. Now I definitely know what those feelings meant.

Right? It felt like we grew up in an age where we weren't allowed to truly, unironically like things or people
This is exactly on point. We didn't like anything. Nobody liked anything. Nobody admitted to liking anything. Liking things wasn't cool.
And that's how we now have people in their mid thirties who are only just beginning to whisper, on social media where they're ostensibly surrounded by friends, that they /might/ like anime or fantasy novels or or or. Or anything that isn't cynical
Oh btw if you want an example of something that's very very cynical, have you considered: call of shooty
First person shooters were fuckin' *there* for us, ready to swoop in and offer the cynicism we'd been raised with. Kill everything. Blow everything up. Yawn. The nihilism we'd been taught primed the *pump* for that shit.
I always come back to this when I talk about this stuff: knowing what caused this is important because we have millions of people, no, read that again, millions of people who were injured by this and don't know it and are not getting any help culturally.
Every one of them is a problem we have to solve eventually and none of us have any idea how to do that and we have to figure it out. Because we can't just write off a whole generation, "anyone who was young and online in 2000," they are our problem to deal with now.
They are here, and they are permanently angry and hate sincerity, and we actually can't coexist with them. They are turning into nazis because they don't know how not to.
It's nice to think "oh we'll just kill the nazis" but there are more ticking-time-bomb fascists that came out of this than anyone realizes. They feel alone in the world, they don't connect with anyone or anything, they have no anchors at all. They never learned how to be happy.
The fuckface who was bombing black people in Texas probably came out of this shit. He was a little young for newgrounds specifically, but I can see the path to being "radicalized by the void," if you will. becoming a monster because you were taught that becoming a person is wrong
And you know what? The internet is the problem. The internet is a huge fucking problem and we all know it, we all know it's putting shit in front of young people that they aren't ready for. And we knew it then, our parents were right about it, just not right enough.
I don't know what can possibly be done about it. No program of censorship would be right or effective or anything but counterproductive but, fuck, we can't write this off.
In my view we have a tremendous number of dangerous broken men in this nation now specifically because of the unregulated nightmare that the web was in the early 2000s and I don't know what to do with that information but I'm not going to forget it.
that was me just a few years ago. i remember it vividly. the difference between me and Them is solely that someone managed to break through the shell and teach me that it was worth it to be a person, to not sleepwalk through life.

Newgrounds and all those other edgy early 2000s hellholes are all Superfund sites. Sad, shitty things we look back on and say "okay, okay, we fucked up," but even as the words spill out of our mouths we are pouring soil for a new development over another toxic waste dump.
They are not places of honor, no esteemed deed is commemorated there, this thread is a message and part of a system of messages, et cetera. We need to not just skip over this. What is being created /right now/ that is equivalent to those?
https://twitter.com/gravislizard/status/976497457151451136 … also i'd like to clarify this, because I meant to, or felt like i should, or something
The fuckface who was bombing black people in Texas probably came out of this shit. He was a little young for newgrounds specifically, but I can see the path to being "radicalized by the void," if you will. becoming a monster because you were taught that becoming a person is wrong
by "radicalized by the void" I mean that there is a sort of person who does not want to be a person, who hates the idea of becoming a person and the responsibility associated with it. they want nothing more than to be left alone to be mediocre.
a lot of mediocre white men, from the person vomiting slurs on 4c han to the nazis in the street, feel that society is trying to force them to reflect on themselves and /that is what they want to stop/.
It's important to acknowledge that this is true, that their perceived struggle is real, and that our intent is to not let them live the lives they want to live because they are implicitly harmful. We do not have the luxury of apathy, it invariably results in harming the innocent.
The war being fought right now is over apathy. we all know the article by now: "I Don’t Know How To Explain To You That You Should Care About Other People." that is the fight here. And they know it.
what we were taught, implicitly, by our peers, when I was a kid, is that caring is bad, and thinking about yourself is bad, and yes there's an amount of "eww that's what gays and women do" tied up in there, but ultimately it's just an intense aversion to responsibility
they know it. they are aware of it. and when people say things like "i wasn't going to be a nazi but you forced my hand by demanding i be decent" we need to understand that that ISN'T gibberish no matter how wrong and shitty it is.
their intent, by and large, is to not be aware of the world. they don't want to know about anything. they don't want to hear about how their actions impact others because that sounds like a lot of shit they would be compelled to deal with.
"radicalized by the void": a person who has spent years comatose, barely aware of their existence, who is being woken from that sleep and is lashing out with all the energy they can muster in order to return to their oblivion
that was me just a few years ago. i remember it vividly. the difference between me and Them is solely that someone managed to break through the shell and teach me that it was worth it to be a person, to not sleepwalk through life.

"cosign. the casual, omnidirectional hate socially required of teenage boys from 199X-200X consumed and almost destroyed me as a person, and were it not for a near-magical confluence of good influences and people at the end of high school, i don't who what I would be.

which is not an excuse for anyone's shittiness or anyone's atrocities, just a nod to what we all know: evil is banal, happens without real intent or effort. evil is adopting a pose that makes you feel strong or edgy as young man, never dropping it, 'defending' it with violence.
evil is trying on casual sexism, racism, homophobia to fit in with your awful teen friends. liking the fit. becoming what you pretended. growing protective of it. doubling down anytime someone calls you on it. becoming proud of that. trying to punish anyone who challenges you."]]>crime masculinity terrorism internet 2018 2009s 9/11 children youth cynicism violence death emotion hate suffering newgrounds socialmedia callofduty nihilism mentalillness censorship apathy void self-worth life care caring society reflection responsibility personhood evil sexism racism homophobia teenshttps://pinboard.in/https://pinboard.in/u:robertogreco/b:61552efa7f08/
