It's always a gift to read your analysis, your posts, they really feed my
attempts to understand what's going on.
Just a thought: what happens when we reverse the order of things in your

clearly stand out from the extreme-right discourse, to courageously refuse
the terms imposed by the extreme-right hegemony, is one of the most

I agree with the last message of Ted.
Meta is a lure that prevents us from seeing Infra: 1) the classic
ideological critique - Meta conceals reality (environmental reality) -
hides that reality is what Meta produces; 2) Z does not care about the
quality of the lure, because it's not his problem.

thanks!
the conclusion differs from SK's one:

This is one of those things, the harder you push against it, the stronger

alas, Lizvlx, the usa cannot "implodes on itself" without exploding,
one should be careful sometimes with our temptations, especially when
national implosions and explosions might kill people who are not fascists
but precisely the ones who do not want fascism and suffer from it

Dear nettimers:
A kind request: I beg to stop speaking about the USA as a consistent,
homogeneous, entity, hence judgements about loving or hating "the USA." It
really does not make any sense. Should we really utter something like USA =
Trump or whoever/whatever?
As a French citizen, should I

Thanks Brian, and like yours my little post was not against Bifo!
I love his work, his mind, his writings, they keep inspiring me (I
wrote an article on him) and one week ago I was moved by a part of
his journal - I was just reacting against a misplaced "non-human"
perspective.
Best,
Frederic
One thing for me seems pretty clear: the agent of the current collapse is
not a non-human agent as such! Arguing that Covid-19 is a powerful critter
that, on its own, waking up one morning and after having taken a look on
its immunological agenda, decided to kill human beings, is meaningless.
It's
"Everyone should know about your mobility": wow! Okay, I'm going to take a
ginger beer and to do some yoga. And think about a world in which
solidarity means tracking people.
Take care dear Brian,

Dear Brian,
Would I be correct if I say that I see in the last paragraphs of your email
a form of fatalism! Not because you try to think - very well - the future,
but because of the alternative frame that you propose: either the defense
of the "autonomous individual" or the cybernetic
."the future security measures that people are not allowed to be without
a mobile phone, especially when they move around in public"...
see McLuhan about the law of reversal:
“during the stages of their development all things appear under forms
opposite to those that they finally present.”
Dear Felix,
I wonder if *focusing* on "mobile phone data to monitor public health
efforts" is not the best way to prepare, structure, what you call in your
email "the general state of emergency" - to technologically enable it to
last! Yes, "simply calling for the protection of personal privacy"
