Re: [spectre] China Europe Rail Transport

[Gívan Belá]

Friends, 

Well I am astonished this issue is only now coming about when it is probably 10 
years too late for lucidity
— this is 2020 and by 2013 the public speeches of Xi Jinping had been changing 
from the usual protective tones (One belt one road!)
He said then already that by 2049 china will ready to dominate the world 
economy (100 year. celebration…)

And it has always been the same strategy with all the regions around, first the 
railroads, then the influx (name any neighbour)
Of goods and finally the influx of people.. . just that gradually now 
everything is already into place. Happy declining Europe! 
With the easy acquisition of the harbours of Piraeus Athens and Thesaloniki (EU 
was shortsightidly happy to get rid of it)

Look it up and find the maps, somehow I remember Warsawa as the central 
distribution point for people
And our future adheres to Chinese socialist updated capitalist values within 
the "weak Europe-strong China”
Discourse that has been employed over the years… never wondered why your 
electronics were so cheap

Sent from china?

Dear Herr Broeckmann,

I have looked for it, it's Małaszewicze in Poland.
The China to Europe rail operational control center is located in 
Małaszewicze. Here is the report

Blockchain: Radicalising the Social Imagination

With Jaya Klara Brekke, Max Haiven, Martin Zeilinger

Moderated by Inte Gloerich

+ You are kindly invited to share your comments and questions trough the
live chat!

 

Like many technologies, the radical potential of blockchains and
cryptocurrencies to revolutionise the way we work, trade, cooperate and
exchange has narrowed as major banks, corporations, and other powerful
interests claim this potential for themselves. What has happened to those
alternative futures lost along the way? What about the paths not taken in
the development of this technology? Or was it fated to be this way? Was this
technology cursed from the beginning? This panel seeks to explore the ghosts
and spectres of alternative possibilities, of the radical imagination, that
haunt today's landscape of blockchain experiments. In an era when
blockchains are being used for the purpose of increasing corporate power, of
consolidating inequality, or for new forms of surveillance and exploitation,
are other blockchain futures possible?

 

The panellists will seek to recover the political economies of the
hacker-engineers, whose stories start with an affiliation to
"decentralisation" that emerged out of experiences in pre-Bitcoin
cypherpunk, hacker and peer-to-peer network cultures as well as consider
money's long history of "epic failures", in which schemers, dreamers and
tricksters have tried, and failed, to steal monetary fire from the economic
Gods. Together they will question the task for a truly revolutionary money
that would not only bring about a redistribution of wealth, but also a
reimagination of value. Among the propositions, we'll hear about exploring
how blockchain tech could be used not for "fixing" property-based value
systems, but for refusing such systems entirely. Instead of financialising
creative practice and further commodifying aesthetic artefacts, can "crypto"
resist property as such? How might an unownable digital artefact function on
the blockchain?
