@JamesGDyke @adam_tooze Thank you for reading my essay, which is just an Afterword to a collection. The full argument is in the book, Anti-Crisis. Metaphors abound ! (-;

Adam Tooze@adam_tooze·
"The ends of perpetual crisis" - this smart essay by @RoitmanJanet has been cited as though it were a knockdown critique of the term polycrisis. I would see it as an extremely useful elucidation of what a self-reflexive usage entails. Recommended. acrobat.adobe.com/link/track?uri…

@adam_tooze Polycrisis signifies multiple causality, if I understand you correctly. But of course any situation that is qualified as a crisis (eg war) has multiple causes. Our lives today are defined by a virus, an invasion, central bank policies, etc. So what?

@adam_tooze We can say that SBF/FTX is in crisis; that the crypto exchanges are currently in crisis. But they were always already undercapitalized/undercollateralized, much like the SUBprime mkts of 2007. Declaring them "in crisis" is a means of intervention, not a description of those mkts.

@Gauntlet_Media @jeanburgess Rapid, yes. But surprising? Not sure, given that the goal of becoming a payments platform is increasingly the only game in town. @Gauntlet_Media: Mastodon is the DuckDuckGo for public conversations but academics aren't comfortable w/ the lack of algos that serve self-promotion

@jeanburgess Yes, lots. I wonder if now, during Twitter's dying breaths, is an opportunity for us to openly discuss and organise where we move next? I'm keen for a not-for-profit, privacy-focused system, like a Duck Duck Go for public conversations.

SCOOP - CNN has obtained the termination notice sent to staff at Twitter's only office in Africa - in Accra 🇬🇭 It was sent to their personal emails but didn't mention any of them by name. Unlike in the US, it doesn't offer next steps or severance

.@TimFernholz critiques the "polycrisis," fanned to mega popularity by @adam_tooze: "The job of an intellectual in a complex world is to clarify, & it’s not clear that 'polycrisis' means anything more than its Greek roots: We’ve got a lot of problems." qz.com/emails/quartz-…
