The stars are three meters up in the sky. If you use something
to reach them, they know that and move from that thing. But then
they return when that thing is moved there. They are very fast.
If you use a telescope to see them, they are the same size in
the telescope. That is optics. Someone next to you or a mile
away sees the same stars. They only shine straight down into
things.

There are many things on the stars. Some of them are quiet and
some of them move about. You can hear them through a telescope.
They make light with sound. You can listen to them. They are
there, on the surface of the stars. Some say they are inside.

The stars are not very bright. They are very close like tiny
insects or leaves. They are good for living. The things on the
stars are very happy there. They know each other and do not use
names. Have you ever heard of names of things on stars. But they
know each other well. They are always there, running and
walking. They can fly but do not like flying. If they fly they
may fall into a telescope. They would be too loud then.

The sun and the moon are just the same. The stars move out of
the way so the sun and the moon can go along. Then the stars
move back to where they were. You cannot see them move, they are
very fast. There are things on the sun but there are no things
on the moon. The moon is a big truffle. You can see it in a
telescope. It just moves about.

The sun moves about too but it is always boiling. You can see
the steam. It a big kettle. It is so close. That is why we are
always hot.

The shooting stars are two meters up in the sky.

Neoliberal proposals for UBI are obviously Neoliberal and should be
opposed on that basis. But the left's engagement with UBI goes a long
way past that.

"Inventing The Future" pages 118-123 (footnotes 91-119) lays out the
grounds for left UBI clearly. Or I pulled out some quotes relevant to
the above in May of this year -

http://robmyers.org/2016/05/27/left-universal-basic-income/

notably:

"The conservative argument for a basic income – which must be avoided at
all costs – is that it should simply replace the welfare state by
providing a lump sum of money to every individual. In this scenario, the
UBI would just become a vector of increased marketisation, transforming
social services into private markets. Rather than being some aberration
of neoliberalism, it would simply extend its essential gesture by
creating new markets. By contrast, the demand made here is for UBI as a
supplement to a revived welfare state."

This demand is not intended to be made in a vacuum or as an end in
itself. "Inventing The Future" proposes it as part of a broader
political programme, and as an answer to a particular set of
political problems.

[NetBehaviour] Open Call for HOOKED - paid opp for artists

[Katriona Beales]

Hi All -

Thought some of you may know people interested in submitting some work
to this Open Call - I'm acting as a curatorial advisor to the project.
It's got a decent budget for successful applications so please spread
the word...

Thank you!

Katriona

HOOKED Open Call - more info here: https://opencall.sciencegallery.com/hooked

HOOKED is the first international, open-call gallery exhibition and
event programme at Science Gallery London, opening in 2018 on the
Guy’s Campus at London Bridge. It explores the neuroscience,
psychology, medical and social aspects of addiction and recovery. Is
everything we know about addiction wrong? Are the things that get us
hooked the things that make life worth living? Do most of us feel the
need to fill some kind of inner void?

The HOOKED season delves into the complex world of addiction and
recovery. Addiction can be defined as a moral problem, a disease, and
even a crime. We look at addiction as a pitfall of being human, a
principle of pleasure, an avoidance of pain and consider the
underlying factors driving our cravings and desires.

We live in a highly addicted society. In a choice environment
encompassing everything from social inequality, genetic predisposition
and peer pressure, everyday things transform into addictive substances
and behaviours. Our engagement with illicit drugs, caffeine, alcohol,
nicotine and food, or activities like gambling, work, sex, shopping -
even using smartphones - has addictive potential.

When does the balance tip into a harmful cycle and how do we extract ourselves?

The exhibition will include a variety of art works exploring addiction
on a personal, clinical, scientific or social level, from a number of
different perspectives.  A public programme of events, activities,
workshops and performances will run alongside the exhibition.

BUDGET

We are looking for up to 14 exhibits and 6 activities, workshops or
performances for this season. Proposals will be funded up to a maximum
budget of £2000, which should include all artist fees, materials,
equipment and travel. One outstanding original work may be
commissioned with a higher budget of up to £5000. Please note that
these are maximum amounts, not targets. We are happy to write letters
of support for applicants seeking funding from elsewhere.​

DATES

Open call launches noon on 15 August 2016, closes 5pm (GMT) on 16 October 2016

Provisional exhibition dates: April – July 2018

Re: [NetBehaviour] PeerValue conference review on INC MoneyLab blog

[David Garcia]

I agree.. And perhaps David Graeber’s well known “bullshit jobs” essay which 
also looked at the energies that might be released when people were given the 
economic possibilities to shape their own time and labour.
Along with the fear that this possibiliy engenders as “the devil makes work fo 
idle hands”. This might provide one of many starting points for the kind of 
discussion proposed by Eduard. In Britain before there used to be 
the “jobseeker’s allowance” the name says it all. There used to be the “dole”. 
It wasn’t much but there was just about enough to create the space that 
generated a host of initiatives  (“punk” is just one example) that are 
still a source of subversive energy and not so subversive marketing and tourism.

[Max Dovey]

Hey guys, we are v. interested in the Basic Income topic and will be
hosting a panel discussion between Dmytri Kleiner, Patrice Riemens and
Johannes Ponader from Mein Grundeinkommen
 in December. Taking Dmytri's
article as a starting point.

It would be good to continue this thread in the lead up to ML3.

Re: [NetBehaviour] PeerValue conference review on INC MoneyLab blog

[marc garrett]

Hi David,

Completely agree, there needs to be a discussion about the "Basic Income”
model. I’m wondering whether you’ve read Dmytri Kleiner’s polemical article
on Furtherfield recently ‘Universal Basic Income Is a Neoliberal Plot To
Make You Poorer’?

He says, “The reason many people on the left are excited about proposals
such as universal basic income is that they acknowledge economic inequality
and its social consequences. However, a closer look at how UBI is expected
to work reveals that it is intended  to provide political cover for the
elimination of social programs and the privatization of social services.
The Liberal Party's resolution is no exception. Calling for "Savings in
health, justice, education and social welfare as well as the building of
self-reliant, taxpaying citizen," clearly means social cuts and
privatization.”

Well worth a read, it received a lot of interest and has had 46,938 reads
so far, which is a measurement of interest, not agreement of course ;-)
http://www.furtherfield.org/features/articles/universal-basic-income-neoliberal-plot-make-you-poorer

Wishing you well.

Re: [NetBehaviour] PeerValue conference review on INC MoneyLab blog

[David Garcia]

Is it time for Money/Lab to have a candid discussion about the "Basic Income” 
model.
This was put to the vote and defeated in Switzerland but as automation grows 
and is now
touching previously "white collar" middle class jobs the impetus accross the 
political spectrum
is to take this seriously. 

It could be that the economic impediments to implementing this might be 
substantive as 
well as ideological. Would Money/Lab be a place for a candid examination of the 
different models being
proposed and what the practical challenges that would be in introducing it.
