Fantômas, les nains de jardin, Foucault, et la forêt qui pousse Fantômas, les nains de jardin, Foucault, et la forêt qui pousse... Fantômas, les nains de jardin, Foucault, et la forêt qui pousse... Mohamed Merah a succombé aux balles du RAID, après 10 jours de psychose en France. Même depuis ma retraite d’écriture au Mexique, je ne pouvais échapper aux échos venant de mes proches et amis. A l’instant où j’écris ces mots, la marmite chauffe sur le feu de l’actualité. Et si nous allions tous manifester pour les nains de jardin victimes de la Françafrique et des sodas? Il y a eu, d’après ce que j’ai lu et suite aux tweets que j’ai vu passer, des marches de solidarité ainsi que des moments de silence pour manifester la solidarité aux victimes et familles. Source : France Inter Pour clore cette liste déjà un peu longue, je voudrais aussi manifester ma solidarité avec le FLNJ –le Front de Libération des Nains de Jardin. Pourquoi ? Je reformule la question : quels mécanismes de la psyché collective font qu’un Fantômas captive — que dis-je, magnétise ! M.

The Local-global Flip, Or, "the Lanier Effect" Here's a sampling: ... "The Apple idea is that instead of the personal computer model where people own their own information, and everybody can be a creator as well as a consumer, we're moving towards this iPad, iPhone model where it's not as adequate for media creation as the real media creation tools, and even though you can become a seller over the network, you have to pass through Apple's gate to accept what you do, and your chances of doing well are very small, and it's not a person to person thing, it's a business through a hub, through Apple to others, and it doesn't create a middle class, it creates a new kind of upper class. ... Google has done something that might even be more destructive of the middle class, which is they've said, "Well, since Moore's law makes computation really cheap, let's just give away the computation, but keep the data." ... ... ... ... ... ...if you're adding to the network, do you expect anything back from it?

Lanier: il web sta uccidendo la classe media - PNR - presi nella rete - Blog - Repubblica.it Dal Venerdì in edicola BERKELEY. La stanza dove lavora è un antro platonico. Per arrivarci bisogna superare canyon di libri e oggetti per terra. Ma il massimo livello di entropia si raggiunge varcando la porta. La reazione immediata a questo atto d’accusa è una scrollata di spalle: è il progresso, bellezza! Quella che lui denuncia è la «frode contabile di massa» che fa finta che i social network, o i big data di cui tanto si parla, si producano per partenogenesi informatica. Dunque, a partire dall’industria musicale, Lanier allarga la rassegna. Prendete i traduttori. Ha fatto discutere Uber, l’applicazione per prenotare un’auto via cellulare. I proprietari dei computer più potenti si affermeranno come l’unica élite rimasta. Dati italiani scarseggiano. Quando Hans Magnus Enzensberger, dando il benvenuto al nuovo secolo, parlava del tempo libero come il lusso ultimo non sapeva ancora quanto avesse ragione.
Thoreau on Hard Work, the Myth of Productivity, and the True Measure of Meaningful Labor by Maria Popova “Those who work much do not work hard.” The Journal of Henry David Thoreau, 1837–1861 (public library) is the closest thing I have to a bible — I read it frequently and devotedly, always with great gratitude for the enduring wisdom that brings me closer to what I know to be true but so often forget. Indeed, Thoreau is among those rare luminaries whose ideas live on as resolutions of the most existential kind — be it his reflections on the creative benefits of keeping a diary or the spiritual rewards of walking or the only worthwhile definition of success. Recently, while listening to a conversation with the wise and wonderful Parker Palmer — a Thoreau for our time — I was reminded once more of a particularly insightful passage from the journal as Palmer lamented that “the tighter we cling to the norm of effectiveness, the smaller and smaller tasks we’re going to take on.” He does nothing with haste and drudgery, but as if he loved it.

Nietzsche e i precursori del nazismo: una riflessione metodologica | Critica Impura Friedrich Nietzsche Di EZIO SAIA Nietzsche e i precursori del nazismo Mesi fa sul Web è stata a lungo dibattuta la questione sui rapporti fra la filosofia di Nietzsche è l’ideologia nazista a cui hanno partecipato, fra molti altri la signora Palazzotti, il signor Antonio Martone, la professoressa Tiziana Ferragina. Di solito si parla di questi rapporti in termini di influenza utilizzando così la concettualità verticale secondo il paradigma del “chi agisce su chi e di chi subisce da chi”. Come precursori del Nazismo sono stati indicati, saggisti, filosofi, romanzieri, poeti e musicisti come Wagner (e non solo per il suo feroce antisemitismo). La filosofia post illuminista Kant viene presentato come apoteosi di un illuminismo e di un pensiero critico volto a circoscrivere i confini delle possibilità del sapere certo: da una parte la conoscenza fondata, dall’altra le pericolose illusioni del dogmatico e contradditorio pensiero metafisico. La ragione demolitrice La doppia legge Nietzsche [1] H.
ozio produttivo: La pulsione di morte della concorrenza Attira l’attenzione anche il carattere globale e universale di tale fenomeno. E' cominciato negli Usa. Nel 1997, nella città di West Paducah (Kentucky) un adolescente di 14 anni ha ucciso a spari, dopo l’orazione del mattino, tre compagni di scuola, e altri cinque sono rimasti feriti. Nel 1998, a Jonesboro (Arkansas), un bambino di 11 anni e un altro di 13 hanno aperto il fuoco contro la loro scuola, uccidendo quattro bambine e una professoressa. Nello stesso anno, a Springsfield (Oregon), un giovane di 17 anni ha ucciso a spari in una "high school" due compagni e ne ha feriti altri 20. Un anno dopo, due giovani di 17 e 18 anni hanno provocato il famoso bagno di sangue di Littleton (Colorado): con armi da fuoco e esplosivi nella loro scuola hanno ucciso 12 compagni, un professore e, in seguito, si sono tolti la vita. Naturalmente, il fenomeno delle mattanze nelle scuole non si può considerare in modo isolato. Terrorismo suicida Auto-smarrimento Traduzione by lpz
The Left-Right Political Spectrum Is Bogus It might be a division between social identities based on class or region or race or gender, but it is certainly not a clash between different ideas. The French Estates-General in 1789 (Isidore-Stanislaus Helman via Wikimedia Commons) Americans are more divided than ever by political ideology, as a recent Pew Research Center study makes clear. About a third of people on each side say of the other that its proponents "are so misguided that they threaten the nation’s well-being." They're both right about that. My prescription isn't civility or dialogue, which though admirable are boring and in this case evidently impossible. The arrangement of positions along the left-right axis—progressive to reactionary, or conservative to liberal, communist to fascist, socialist to capitalist, or Democrat to Republican—is conceptually confused, ideologically tendentious, and historically contingent. I'd say it's obvious that PHC is true, and that everyone knows it to be true.
Inverted totalitarianism Inverted totalitarianism is a term coined by political philosopher Sheldon Wolin in 2003 to describe the emerging form of government of the United States. Wolin analysed the United States as increasingly turning into a managed democracy (a concept which has similarities to illiberal democracy). Wolin uses the term "inverted totalitarianism" to draw attention to the totalitarian aspects of the United States governmental system while emphasizing differences between it and proper totalitarian regimes such as Nazi Germany and the Stalinist Soviet Union. Inverted totalitarianism and managed democracy[edit] Wolin argues that the United States has increasingly adopted totalitarian tendencies as a result of transformations undergone during the military mobilization required to fight the Axis powers in the 1940s, and the subsequent campaign to contain the Soviet Union during the Cold War, and more recently, after 9/11, the war on terror campaign.[2] Inverted totalitarianism reverses things.
