2018-06-13 Thread Heiko Recktenwald
Dear all, read Alans mail again and the topic reminds me to many old
stories about the current POTUS again. What he did mean according to
Sebastian and others. Fashism and worse and so on. For me it said more
about Sebastian, for example, his kind of thinking. The Donald is
probably unique. Not all people are the same. And that he did let Korea
happen was good. The first time I agree with Pampeo. See the advisory
opinion of the ICJ on the legality of nuclear weapons from 1995 at the
end. The possession and even their use is legal in certain situations,
when the survival of the state is in danger, but there isĀ 


"an obligation to pursue in good faith and to conclude negotiations
leading to nuclear disarmament in all its aspects under strict and
effective international control",

He is a stress-test for political institutions like the stress-tests of
European banks. I still think this is true:

Yes. And he supports the Saudis in Yemen.


We support them. What are the G7 dissens and his love for Russia
compared to this?

or the opposite, every thing and every one speaking exactly the same
digital terrain, the same protocols. even in one of 'my' areas of
interest, non-western instrumentation, the well-tempered western scale
and accompanying musics have been increasingly dominant.



But isnt this allready the end? The same protocols and no content. Well
tempered.


flat, absorbed -


less pessimistic. What is that "knowledge" of fb? Cant we laugh about
it? And what is new in our "mass-psychology"? What people may do one
day? A question of speed?


depends on what knowledge or knowledging of fb one's concerned with -


For marketing it may be better than nothing. But the rest is speculation.


it's the carapace that surrounds the user on Fb; there's very little 
control over appearance; the settings are a joke. it's designed for 
data-mining - almsot impossible for example to keep 'recent' from 'top' in 
the feed - the latter already shaping one's perception of one's personal 
sphere. there's also constant attempts to mine phone numbers and to give 
fb control of the computer - repeatedly asking if it can add notifications 
to your screen even when the medium's closed - which creates the constant 
presence of fb, no matter what.





There are some problems of dataownership that have mostly to do with
sharing that data. What did Cambridge do wrong? They didnt pay. As if
science would not be free.


That Robert Mercer wrote an email in january that sounded very much like
Timothy Leary...


"Question authority"...


Some of the opening questions of that Zuckerberg hearing were very good.


Unfortunately didn't hear this -



Feinstein was very stupid. I like those details. Maybe a starter in the
time of Babel.


That Donald was a present. He creates cases that we need.


He creates cases that brutally tear families apart -
