@SilviaMogas This is the opposite of what critical theory teaches

Web3 is full of “community-driven” projects with no actual purpose to drive. Build a mission first. Then the community follows.

@BrentfordFC Sad for Brentford but happy for Szn One!

After three wonderful years in west London, Ben Mee will leave Brentford once his contract expires next month 🙏 We wish you every success in the future, Ben 👊

@jgreenhall I think the idea of both the commons and the church is the idea of a collective soul. And if ‘consciousness’ is part of ‘soul’ then on a physical level we can say there is a collective soul. So I think the premise could be flawed.

I’m going to throw a bit of a long ball here, but it seems timely. The AI discourse has stalled (and festered) because of at least two category errors. 1. AI cannot be properly governed by either the Market or the State. There is a lot necessary to establish this, but for now, I’ll simply propose it. Fortunately, we have been operating around half a millennium with an increasing blind spot that has led us to believe that these two were the only choices. They are not. The third category (and, as it turns out, the more fundamental) is sometimes called the Commons. It is this that is proper to governance of AI. (You might note the connection to AI unemployment). Another name for the Commons is the Church. Again, a lot is behind this, but here I’ll just say that unless and until we recognize this fact and, thereby, revive the proper form and responsibility of the Church, things will continue to unravel. So, yes, I’m a very much saying that the Church is the (only) possible way to govern AI. Look forward to this discussion! 2. AI cannot be aligned with humanity. What I’m about to say will be esoteric for those who are not familiar with the notions, but they are quite precise. AI cannot be aligned with “humanity” because alignment must be at the level of the Soul and “humanity” has no Soul. Fortunately, each individual human has a Soul, and so a fully peer to peer AI can be aligned. Intimacy and care at the very personal level.

@PaulAnleitner inflation. I get the analysis and agree but it’s not decisive. It’s the wallpaper. No inflation, this doesn’t happen.

I don't study politics, but I do study culture, and here are some of the signs that a cultural shift has been brewing for years in America that most of the professional political analysts just completely missed. Some of these may seem absurd, but hear me out. 🧵 We'll start with this one:

@FastTradeKing Bots don't get to vote.

The rethink required is bigger than any budget theguardian.com/society/articl…

theguardian.com/football/artic… Bravo to Khalida, who I have been honoured to work with for many years. Every blessing that happens from here is well earned after everything she has fought for.

This is a great example of the chasm opening up between generations of fandom. As culture and tech converge in the new football, fans of my generation may react like in this video. But the strangeness of the ‘new’ is here to stay (and will ofc evolve).

I’m the United fan having a go at this absolute weapon, filming himself watching the game - the whole section was also having a go by the end of the game!

@sports_justinm @joe_mulberry @jdeposicion Hundreds of major infrastructure projects across the world are now dominated by Chinese firms and production teams. The thing is this happens in a v different way to how we see immigration of talent (it’s temporary and group, not individual led).

@joe_mulberry @jdeposicion No substantial increase in export of chinese talent despite significant investment even w/ bigger population [1.4 bil vs 1.29 bil. (2018)] + density + infrastructure. Honestly curious why Africa would be different - football cultural, etc.?

Everyone has the right to dream 🌟

Congratulations to Osman, and to all my brilliant colleagues at RTD and @FCNordsjaelland for all the time and work into Osman’s development over the years. Look after him at my old club @OfficialBHAFC !

Excited to see what @Lucy_C_Mills and @readysportglbl do next, in a world where a regenerative football industry is possible.

@joe_mulberry Awesome work!
