       I seldom reference Titter posts here but this series of posts by Mel Conway is mind blowing and important:https://nitter.net/conways_law/status/1536754353775820800"Our liberal tradition is no match for the new alliance of very high connectivity and malicious opportunism."#MelConway, 2020

       I just saw someone found my post from a few months back, linking to Mel Conway's epic 2022 thread on "meme epidemiology". I forgot to add back then that this harks back to subjects explored in Douglas Rushkoff's books Media Virus (1995) and Coercion (1999): https://rushkoff.com/books/media-virus/https://rushkoff.com/books/coercion/Rushkoff's Team Human podcast continues to be a rich source of bleeding edge insights, along with fascinating guests and general hilarity.#MelConway #DouglasRushkoff #TeamHuman #podcast

       @lpsYou're welcome. Cory Doctorow's podcast is good value too, for the tech politics stuff, although it's just him reading his blog posts from Medium, so not as entertaining.

       @mr_sterileThe latest episode is a recording of a panel discussion with Cory Doctorow and Rebecca Giblin, who just released a book called 'Chokepoint Capitalism: How Big Tech and Big Content Captured Creative Labor Markets and How We'll Win Them Back'. Disturbingly relevant to current events and I'm really looking forward to listening to it.

       @mmin> Some of the ideas there trickled down into my PhDDouglas would be thrilled to hear that. I don't know if he's been active in the 'verse, but if not I expect he will be soon ;)
