In our ever-evolving digital world, governance is often left behind, struggling to catch up with the pace of technology and social change.

The mess we make with our blind behaviour

Most activism lives in the tension between the fluffy and the spiky. This dynamic debate is what drives real progressive change and challenge. But when either side becomes dogmatic, it blocks the possibility — and necessity — of change. Our default behaviour is to shut down this debate. And in doing so, we’re actively blocking … Continue reading The mess we make with our blind behaviour →

Now, where is my shovel?

A lot of current #mainstreaming arguments that are treated as left and right are actually not. They are arguments between modernism and postmodernism. This is a mess that the postmodernists have pushed over the last 40 years. We need tools for composting this mess, shovels come to mind. But it’s hard to grasp a shovel … Continue reading Now, where is my shovel? →

Navigating Grassroots Evolution in Tech Communities: Challenges and Paths

Talking to the Oxford Academics

Academics writing and thinking on activism tends to be bad because the sources are outa date and second hand, and the people who acutely want to talk to academics are the #fashernistas who have little idea of how things work in activism.

#dontbeaprat is a positive statement of what’s next?

In activism (and interestingly less so in #mainstreaming life now) #stupidindividualism is a constant poison. With #blinded, people treat critical social thinking as ONLY personal criticism. This has the effect of #blocking that spreads mess over the very needed social change and challenge. Am increasingly using the #dontbeaprat hashtag to communicate on this problem. I … Continue reading #dontbeaprat is a positive statement of what’s next? →
