    <dc:creator>wrrn</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[According to legal scholar Danielle Keats Citron, automated decision-making systems like predictive policing or remote welfare eligibility no longer simply help humans in government agencies apply procedural rules; instead, they have become primary decision-makers in public policy. The algorithms that dominate policymaking — particularly in public services such as law enforcement, welfare, and child protection — act less like data sifters and more like gatekeepers, mediating access to public resources, assessing risks, and sorting groups of people into “deserving” and “undeserving” and “suspicious” and “unsuspicious” categories.]]></description>

His research, published with his co-author David Whitney, suggests that when we focus on something, the image we perceive isn’t a snapshot of it at that moment, but rather a sort of composite—a product mostly of what we’re seeing now, but also influenced by what we’ve been seeing for the previous 15 seconds or so.]]></description>

As long as the player had her Total Rewards card inserted in the machine, every time she hit the spin button the system recorded the size of her bet, what game it was spent on, at what time, how long she’d been playing for, and so on, until she hits the "Cash Out" button on the machine, at which point all the data is encapsulated in her file, along with all the other games she has ever played at a Caesar’s casino.]]></description>

The Background Bundle
Five works to inform, expand, and enhance one’s engagement with Deleuze:
*Baruch Spinoza – Ethics
*Friedrich Nietzsche – On the Genealogy of Morals
*Henri Bergson – Creative Evolution
*Antonin Artaud – The Theatre and Its Double
*James Gleick – Chaos: Making a New Science
The Secondary Bundle
Five works that utilize or otherwise illuminate Deleuze in ways that I have found particularly provocative and/or useful:
*Steven Shaviro – Without Criteria: Kant, Whitehead, Deleuze, and Aesthetics
*Bruce Baugh’s essay “How Deleuze can help us make Literature work” (which has been anthologized in the collection Deleuze and Literature)
*Gerald Bruns’s essay “Becoming Animal: Some Simple Ways” (published first in New Litera]]></description>

    <dc:creator>wrrn</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[Nearly half a millennium before modern psychologists identified the three elements of persuasion — attunement, buoyancy, and clarity — French physicist, philosopher, inventor, and mathematician Blaise Pascal (June 19, 1623–August 19, 1662) intuited this mechanism as he arrived at a great truth about the secret of persuasion: Pascal came to see that the surest way of defeating the erroneous views of others is not by bombarding the bastion of their self-righteousness but by slipping in through the backdoor of their beliefs. In a sentiment that David Foster Wallace would come to echo centuries later in his enduring definition of what makes a great leader, Pascal frames persuasion not as a factor of control but as something predicated first and foremost on empathy — on empathic insight into th]]></description>

Many Amerindians believe that animals have descended from humans rather than humans from animals. As the above myths exemplify, our ending is only one of many, and its failing is simultaneous with the (re-)emergence of other worlds, perhaps even, in the words of anthropologist Elizabeth Povinelli, with the possibility of experiencing the world “otherwise.” “There is only one earth,” as the saying goes, but this earth is open to many worlds, mediated by different ontologies, with very different nature-culture dynamics, even in the most ontologically extreme examples with no unsurpassable distinction between nature and culture at all.]]></description>

The quick summary is that each of the disciplines does a different task, for sensemaking and decision-making within the respective context-space:
- Artist mode – moves around at high speed to gather information and experiences
- Believer mode – acts on the task immediately at hand, using only the current assumptions and ‘laws’, to deliver expected-certain outcomes

In a set of interviews he did in 1994 with middle-aged Americans about their friendships, Rawlins wrote that “an almost tangible irony permeated these [adults’] discussions of close or ‘real’ friendship.” They defined friendship as “being there” for one another, but reported that they rarely had time to spend with their most valued friends, whether because of circumstances, or the age-old problem of good intentions and bad follow-through: “Friends who lived within striking distance of each other found that … scheduling opportunities to spend or share some time together was essential,” Rawlins writes. Rawlins says that any new friends people might make in middle age are likely to be grafted onto other kinds of relationships—as with co-workers, or parents of their children’s friends—]]></description>

This article on polynormativity, quoted and linked to above, appeared recently on poly-friendly blog Sex Geek, and has triggered shouts of joy from those for whom poly-normativity isn’t a part of their paradigm, with contrasting outcries from those for whom polynormativity is a valid and functioning structure for their relationship style. True enough: being poly presents its own problems, like trying to use monogamy’s rules in a situation where they can’t work and a few others I don’t have the time to get into… but those problems can be minimized and/or eliminated and poly situations can and do work because, as it is written, love conquers all.]]></description>

Relationship anarchy should matter to mixed orientation sexual people because it is the only method of relationships, that supports the idea of having both nonsexual romantic relationships and nonromantic sexual relationships and creating equality between those two groups of relationships in a person’s life.]]></description>

The problem of toxic waste is not mentioned in Inventing the Future, yet without addressing head-on how this dependence could be undone, any project of full automation is complicit in and dependent upon the continuation of colonial, racialised social relations.[2]
Another example of the imbrication of modernity and coloniality is apparent in one of the proposed technological fixes to climate change, solar radiation management (SRM).]]></description>

I was enamored with the idea of how what seemed broken, discarded, useless was transformed into a meaningful gesture… We are conditioned to think that what is broken is lost, or useless or a setback, and so when we set out with big ambitions we don’t necessarily recognize what the next graduation is supposed to look like. In a sentiment that calls to mind John Steinbeck’s unforgettable moment of choosing creative integrity over outward success — “I beat poverty for a good many years and I’ll be damned if I’ll go down at the first little whiff of success.” — Fernández adds:

The short instructional manifesto for relationship anarchy
Love is abundant, and every relationship is unique
Love and respect instead of entitlement
Find your core set of relationship values
Heterosexism is rampant and out there, but don’t let fear lead you
This is a new translation/adaptation to English of a relationship anarchy pamphlet by me, Andie Nordgren, published in Swedish as “Relationsanarki i 8 punkter” by Interacting Arts in 2006. Love is abundant, and every relationship is unique
Relationship anarchy questions the idea that love is a limited resource that can only be real if restricted to a couple.]]></description>

While akrasia refers to our tendency to fall victim to procrastination, enkrateia means to be “in power over oneself.” Designing your future actions, reducing the friction of starting good behaviors, and using implementation intentions are simple steps that you can take to make it easier to live a life of enkrateia rather than one of akrasia.]]></description>

In Rising Strong (public library), Brown builds upon her earlier work on vulnerability to examine the character qualities, emotional patterns, and habits of mind that enable people to transcend the catastrophes of life, from personal heartbreak to professional collapse, and emerge not only unbroken but more whole. To be sure, this isn’t another iteration of “fail forward,” that tired and trendy (but far from new) cultural trope of extolling failure as a stepping stone to success — Brown’s research is about what happens in the psyche and the spirit when we are in th]]></description>

His character speaks the lesson the film pushes to all the Coles watching: that millennials’ problems are rooted in our new habits, not economic shifts, and that salvation lies in a return to something more analog and thus genuine. His impression of Cole’s music at the beginning of the film is “all that was missing was a hashtag.” He pushes Cole to “build from scratch” because “sound is organic.” In a stunning feat of earnestness, We Are Your Friends shows us one electronic musician telling another to “Get your head out of that laptop and start listening to what the real world is trying to tell you.”

    <dc:creator>wrrn</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[“To be in the subjunctive mode,” Bruner explains, means “to be trafficking in human possibilities rather than in settled certainties.” Out of this drive toward unsettled possibilities arises the ultimate question of “how a reader makes a strange text his own,” a question of “assimilating strange tales into the familiar dramas of our own lives, even more than transmuting our own dramas in the process” — something Bruner illustrates brilliantly with an exchange between Marco Polo and Kublai Khan from Italo Calvino’s masterwork Invisible Cities, which takes place after Marco Polo describes a bridge stone by stone:
“But which is the stone that supports the bridge?” Kublai Khan asks. It is then that the reader asks that crucial interpretive question, “What’s it all about?” But what “it” is, of course, is not the actual text — however great its literary power — but the text that the reader has constructed under its sway.]]></description>

    <dc:creator>wrrn</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[Months ago a friend posted the prompt: “I regret learning how to…”
I wrote the first thing that came into my head: “I regret learning how to give world class blow jobs.”
Let me pause and qualify what I mean by “world class blow jobs.” I mean that I learned from my gay male friends what they did and I practiced on my partners. To be honest, I don’t entirely regret learning how to give world class blow jobs because I have given a lot of pleasure in my life and have had a blast doing it.]]></description>
