nice to see you

http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2013/03/05/the-internet-won-t-save-us-evgeny-morozov-s-stand-against-technology-solutionism.html

i dislike the writer evgeny morozov. his opinions and writing all have this soggy hemming and hawing quality, and are never cool or controversial enough, kinda just sappy cliches about the internet. also imo if you're gonna be a pessimist go full dour & apocalyptic, his negativity is just so half-assed and unconvincing. like these are opinions expressed in that interview

-we probably can't use facial recognition software to tell if politicians are lying?

-a fork that tells you that you're eating too fast doesn't solve the problem that you don't live near a farmer's market [WTF?]

-instead of downloading freedom he bought a safe and locked his modem in it

-designers are trying to hide the fact that electric cords on stand-by use electricity by not programming them to wriggle in semblance of pain

also didn't this guy get slammed for plagiarizing recently? why does he still get interviewed

joe would be a much better tech prophet IMO

haha i just read another interview from a few years ago on gawker and look at this

"the Internet"—I find this concept so sickening and suffocating that I use it in scare quotes throughout the book

from the same interview. apparently we already have the technology of the movie minority report available to us but wait a second wouldn't eliminating crime actually be a bad thing because the fact that crimes are allowed to happen (wtf???) lets us have discussions(???)

We have the means to predict crime—with "big data" and smart algorithms—and prevent it from happening, ergo eliminating crime is a problem worth solving.

But is eliminating crime really a project worth pursuing? Don't we need to be able to break laws in order to revise them? Once crimes are committed, cases reach the courts, generate debate in the media, and so forth—the very fact that crimes are allowed to happen allows us to revise the norms in question. So the inefficiency of the system—the fact that the crime rate is not zero—-is what saves us from the tyranny of conservatism and complacency that might be the outcome if we delegate crime prevention to algorithms and databases.

i couldnt make it past the 2nd paragraph of that terrible blog post

ice cr88m is an anti-solutionism guy but please don't troll the comments section of his bløg

maybe if joe was more prolific with his anti-solutionism thought leadership we wouldn't have to put up with this other idiot
