WDYT? For me Open-Source is the proof another model exists.
So, over the last week, Europeans discovered we are depending on US big techs (you know the ones behind trump) 🫢
So I saw some “EuroStack” stuff trying to see what we can build to reclaim sovereignty, I engaged in a kind of unformal non-academic epistemological work about economics, anthropology, climate science, business management, and a lot of other things.
The more I worked, the more I realised that’s it’s not just about tech, this is not just an engineering problem. It is a fundamental, systemic collapse.
So my paper is in two section:
- An anthropological essay on neoliberalism, examining how capitalists were cunning enough to throw us social scraps to keep the gears of their operating system functional, but how they failed to anticipate the planetary limits.
- A naive attempt to propose something for Europe.
I just realized how Open-Source is the best argument against neoliberalism.
To my friends in the United States: my heart is with you. Know that humanity has always emerged victorious against tyranny. Nobody is freestanding; we are all part of something greater.
Here are some partisan songs from my terroir, just so you can be an international fighter for peace:
Keep fighting on, comrades. ✊ 🟥
You could read the Red Mars series. It covers some of the points you’ve raised albeit it is Science Fiction.
