Yes. I assume it's because of this ;-) -

I'm a member of a housing co-op because it's the only way to afford to
live where I do.

The people are mostly lovely, as are their dogs. I was very wary of
joining a co-op but after a couple of years it seems that The System
Mostly Works and there have been no suddenly disastrous measures adopted
at meetings (although the minor missteps always have the potential to
add up faster than I think people realize). It doesn't seem like a
template for a scalable or efficient form of socialism though.

[NetBehaviour] The inadequate, a philosophical testament, part 5

The inadequate, a philosophical testament, part 5

This section dictated. I'm constantly trying to articulate a
philosophical structure That works for me and might conceivably
work for other [ed. others] . At the same time I'm also dealing
with a kind of deprecation and self-deprecation that seeps into
these texts; I wouldn't be interested in philosophy at all were it
not for the fact That I seem to need to articulate Any kind of
ground posible [ed. bad choice of words here. [ed. "I'm trying to
help. This doesn't help"] . naive. . To be able to stand on [ed.
to be able to agree to, to be able to come to some sort of
agreement, to be able to consider as a reasonable form of a
_philosophical contribution_] at least for a while - Nothing works
forever pure [ed. pure? I have no recollection]. So what is
occuring here Is it gallon Hey kind of [ed. inadequate kind of, at
least from what I remember] attempt to order [ed. disorder,
reconstitute] the world as inadequate . at the same time I realize
that what I'm doing undercuts that very ordering . As a result of
that I go back to culling In a situation Where I say To give up on
something Or to give up Yeah [ed. Yeah?] And then to take that and
invert it as in the following textual selection . The very fact
this section is dictated indicates already Dead [ed. wrong word
here; I'm not sure what was meant, but this will do as an aside]
artificial intelligence Is subverting what I'm trying to say. [ed.
That] This is the limits of the body. [ed. That] This is the
limits of speech. This is the totalization of an insertion that in
the long run can only fail in terms of the somatic . So here and
henceforth Is the text [ed. which fails as well; consider it as a
life-form, a form of breathing]:

This sounds great, Marc. Also just got the book ed. of State Machines which
I highly recommend to everyone - it goes along with Bridle's New Dark Age
for example and I've been finding it incredibly useful -

[NetBehaviour] Forum "Paradigm_Shift #3 – Broken Home"

[marc.garrett via NetBehaviour]

Forum "Paradigm_Shift #3 – Broken Home"

MAY 24-25, 2019=20
GENEVA (SWITZERLAND)=20
2019.mappingfestival.com

The invention of the Internet brought about new social interactions that 
changed our lives forever. However, what we are witnessing in the last decade 
shows a lack of understanding and responsibility towards our digital rights and 
the complex systems that rule our world. How do we want technology and the 
‘network’ to function in the next? How can we ensure that the infrastructures 
and networks we create don’t end up controlling and censoring us? On the 30th 
anniversary of the World Wide Web, the forum reflects on the causes and effects 
of the centralisation of power within the internet. This year’s theme ‘Broken 
Home’ attempts to make visible the economic model and mechanisms that underpin 
our digital ecosystem, and its implications at the economic, socio-cultural, 
political and environmental levels.

Keynote speech 1 – Unlocking Proprietorial Systems: For a More Expansive 
Artistic Practice

💭 "What role do arts-led cultural producers working with #technology play in 
unlocking the proprietorial systems that dominate everyday social interactions 
online & offline? ✌️

Marc Garrett’s Keynote asks, what role do arts-led cultural producers working 
with technology play in unlocking the proprietorial systems that dominate our 
everyday social interactions both online and offline? It examines approaches, 
expressions and agency in cultural production, highlighting those actively 
finding ways around these locked in systems.

I'm Looking forward to this. It will be the first time where the research 
material I have spent years writing gets aired in front of an audience. That 
material is part of a much larger PhD thesis. However, the themes in this paper 
present ideas that focus on how artists, hackers, and radical thinking 
academics can collaboratively forge with arts led organisations, new & 
emancipatory ways of reclaiming technology use & re-examining our bio-political 
relationship with different methods of decentralisation, & invasive forms of 
dominance.

Re: [NetBehaviour] Links - Anyone members of coops?

[Julian Brooks]

Hey Ruth,

Yeah I also found that article of interest too.
Insight from VC's, who'd a thunk it.

I've been digging into Coops for the last couple of years. For me stems 
from a visceral reaction to DAO's & 'Code as Law'. I just immediately 
thought it'd be better to consider them more human-centric - with DAO's 
being such a potential for collectivising power.

So started putting this kinda mental construct together 'Cooperative 
Autonomous Organisations', a sort of 'DAO, Coop, Mutual, Union' - type 
structure. This was to house the participants in the music licensing / 
smart contracts / IP-reinvention post-doc project that I have been 
attempting to raise research funding for (unsuccessfully so far).

I always thought the CoAO would be the trickiest part to put together, 
and was actually planning to work in this during years 3-5 in a 5yr 
project. After getting rejected for funding last October (working w. 
UoMcr proposing to AHRC) I started exploring and getting involved with 
the 'Aragon Project' community (cool people with some astonishing [& 
really-existing] crypto tech-tools).

A small Aragon group started seriously considering and engaging in what 
a Cooperative DAO could be in practice. To this end I put togehter a 
small funding proposal that was voted though by $ANT holders (the Aragon 
token) a couple of days ago (whoop whoop!). So there'll be two of us 
working a couple of days a week each, with additional funds for CoopDAO 
members to also propose paid work a day p.w. to formulate and put into 
practice what this org can actually be.

Quite excited:)

https://twitter.com/AragonProject/status/1122172288462356484

https://forum.aragon.org/t/agp-40-discussion-aragon-cooperative-dao-funding-proposal/783/12

Totally agree Coops are definitely 'a thing' atm. For me, this is a very 
good thing. Also fascinating that (Ethereum mainly?) crypto is very much 
engaging in this too.

I don't know where this is all going, perhaps this is what I like most.
