MIT's nearly complete disgrace

[Carsten Agger]

Things have really been looking bad for MIT and the "cool tech",
WIRED-style tech-optimist movement in the last weeks (or months).

First, it turns out several professors at MIT and Harvard have been
closely connected to the deceased billionaire and alleged trafficker and
convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein. Among the accused of either
complicity of rape and trafficking or, *at the very least*, enabling and
reputation-washing in exchange for money, are as renowned scientists as
Marvin Minsky, George Church and Steven Pinker.

After this, it turns out that Joi Ito, director of the MIT Media Lab,
Mecca and bonanza of the WIRED-style technotopian movement, has secretly
been taken Epstein's money. The secrecy is allegedly so that it won't
help launder Epstein's reputation, but soon it seems to be much more
related to the embarassment of it all. Not only was Epstein a secret
donor - he was also a very important fundraising collaborator and even
showed up for meetings at MIT with his very young paid female
companions, raising eyebrows and concerns not least among female staff
and students.

Apparently, Ito had received this money and concealed its origin in
violation of MIT's rules on people like Epstein. But then it turned out
that MIT president Rafel Reif had just as secretly OK'd the deal; not
only that, he had signed receipts for at least one other donations from
Epstein in 2012, when Epstein was barely out of probation for his 2008
conviction for soliciting a minor for prostitution. 

And *then*, it turned out that one of the Media Lab's absolute flagship
creations of later years, the much-hyped food computer, never actually
worked. When they had to demo it, programme lead Caleb Harper had an
assistant fetch some lettuce or lavender plants in the supermarket and
dust off the dirt from the roots so it'd seem they were grown
hydroponically. This did not, however, dispel them from wasting several
schools' time by sending out assembly kits for the botched things for
the students to assemble.

And as if all of this wasn't enough, the MIT Media Lab and the Food
Computer programme consistently violated regulations by dumping toxic
waste from said non-functional food computers with far too much nitrogen
in it.

I honestly don't know what to say anymore.

"

"This is not about Open Agriculture, per se, or Caleb Harper," he said.
"This is a bigger issue… I took every action I could, to go through the
right channels to address it. I came to a point that I realized that the
institution, apparently, has made a decision not to address this."

In January 2019, Joseph Cerutti, a DEP employee who handles its disposal
well program, emailed Carter, the EHS officer, asking for the monthly
reports her office was required to send to his agency the previous year.
Carter had told him the lab hadn't discharged anything into the well
from April through June of 2018, but there were still nine months of
missing reports.

After a month without a response, Cerutti wrote back with a terse
reminder, adding Harper to the email. If Cerutti didn't get answers
within the next two weeks, he would issue a notice of noncompliance,
followed by possible fines and revocation of the permit.

Harper responded quickly, writing, "We have been following the protocol
agreed with EHS which was for any agricultural effluent was to be spread
in the open field and NOT put into the UIC system."

Cerutti seemed unaware of this. The lab's permit only allowed MIT
researchers to use the well. "When was the protocol to exclusively
discharge the hydroponic growing solution to the open field rather than
to the UIC well implemented?" he wrote back.

After a phone call with Carter in April, Cerutti was still left with
basic questions. In June, he asked for copies of all nitrogen water
sample results since January 2018. Carter responded in early July,
attaching results since July 2018, but not the samples from March that
frequently showed concentrations more than 10 times the limit.

State regulators did an on-site inspection of the facility in July. The
investigation is ongoing."

Hi Ted (and others),

I think it is very good and timely of David to post this kind of stuff 
on nettime, and I don't see any reason to slap him in the face publicly 
or to shut down the list.


We should reconsider the basic tenets of nettime though, since maybe the 
whole idea of having a list exclusively for discussions about network 
issues is a bit outdated...


On the other hand, I consider it a big asset to be able to read 
interesting contributions by people like David and Brian Holmes in a 
remnant of the open structure that the net once was, so please keep the 
list alive!

the fates of entire nations becoming the latest bloody-minded 'season'

to hypercapitalist 'makers' in ex-eastern regions, the rise of a 
neo–Children's Crusade focused more on planetary discourses than the 
trite figure of the 'local' as the field of action, the specter of 
military interventions in the service of environmentalism, the ways 
that rampant disillusionment is entangled with the self-historicizing 
impulses of graying radicals, the transformation of cities, higher 
education, and the internet from sites of liberation into machines of 
economic exploitation, the mutation of art schools into retirement 
homes, the appropriation of squatting and occupying tactics as 
impact-free cultural programming... That list could (and should) go 
on, and — with a jolt of old-school collaborative text-filtering — it 
could even bring some new energy and people to this list. But stuff 
that smacks of remoaning – not just remoaning about Brexit but 
remoaning about anything and everything – will just waste whatever 
potential might be left.

Re: Supreme Court Rulling consequeces

[James Wallbank]

Hello Eric, Ted, David, Nettime,

I believe that Nettime is now more relevant than ever. To suggest that 
this transnational network (however insubstantial it may seem) has 
somehow lost relevance is far from the truth. A non-commercial, 
thoughtful and lightly curated list that brings together thinkers and 
doers, artists and writers from across the world is something that may 
constitute a key element of resistance in the dark days that may be ahead.


This is a moment of special relevance for Nettime. Reactionaries (of the 
of the most loathsomely undemocratic kind) have demonstrated that they 
understand complexity - they are versed in systems thinking, and they 
are building and exploiting subversive transnational networks in order 
to pursue their (at best) tawdry, or (at worst) terrifying ends.


In such a situation of cultural conflict, there is no such thing as 
irrelevance. I value Nettime because it might be a hotline to 
intellectual and cultural perspectives and support when other channels 
may be blocked or subverted. I'm certainly not minded to rely on 
commercial social media platforms as reliable means of connection and 
discussion.


Perhaps the specificity of the list as a discussion of "Network Culture" 
is less relevant - but this irrelevance is quite illusory, echoing the 
trajectory of the Media Lab - at first we were all very excited by the 
idea of a shared, creative, multimedia digital space, it moved from 
universities into offices, onto desktops, and now into citizens' 
pockets. The idea that the Media Lab is over is not at all true - the 
Media Lab has now transformed, become mobile, networked and pervasive.


In just the same way, Network Culture and an engagement with networks 
has become pervasive and more powerful than ever. Now is not the time 
for critical thinkers to abandon their networks and disconnect.


Network Cuture has, in the words of the sage, "become more powerful than 
you can possibly imagine". (I like to keep it highbrow.)


Just yesterday, 30 minutes after the Supreme Court judgement that 
confirmed that (my emphasis) THE UNITED KINGDOM IS A PARLIAMENTARY 
DEMOCRACY, NOT AN ELECTED DICTATORSHIP, a tiny company called Balcony 
Shirts received 2000 orders for its new product, developed MINUTES 
previously.


The product was a T-Shirt that depicted the Spider Brooch worn by Lady 
Justice Hale as she read the unanimous judgement.


Since then Balcony Shirts have sold 6500 shirts - their whole stock. 
They need more shirts!


Within minutes of the judgement the "Spider" Emoji spiked in popularity 
as Twitter users added the spider emoji to their Twitter profiles.


This is uncoordinated, high-speed mass action.

THIS IS INFORMATION WAR, Nettime!

Not the right moment to retire.

Supreme Court Rulling consequeces

[David Garcia]

Sorry nettime (press delete anyone who has a life and so is uninterested in
UK politics and related constitutional/Brexit shenaningans)  

https://www.theguardian.com/fashion/2019/sep/24/say-it-with-a-brooch-how-a-fashion-item-became-a-political-statement

Aside from the fascinating and (for sad folk *me*) important constitutional 
consequences of the rulling 
(its 25 pages and worth a look for its elegant argumentation in classic english 
legal prose--dply sexy!). 
Patrice asked me if yesterday’s Supreme Court rulling whether would lead to the 
sacking/resignation of the Brexit 
"brain lord" Dominic Cummings or even the demise of unfunny comedy toffs Mogg 
and Johnson.

Sadly the answer is a resounding NO.

Beyond the sound and fury yesterda’s Supreme Court’s rulling Jonson is still 
popular in the country at large. And like Trump 
every defeat is turned into a victory as it strengthens the populist narrative 
that he is the people’s tribune fighting the elite 
establisment blah blah utter bat-shit but it still cuts through. The 
calculation is if he can weather the storm to an election then
he can capitalise on his "die in a ditch” pitch to win big.   

Whatever the pressure from within his own party Johnson will not sack Cummings 
as he is heavilly invested in his tactics 
for winning the election when it comes.  He hopes and believes that the 
combination of “do or die” (Biggles Defy’s the Swastika)
rhetoric combined with Cummings’ passion for Bismark and game theory (read his 
blog: https://dominiccummings.com) 
will deliver him a majority by repeating the approach that won the referendum. 
His faith in Cummings is not dented by broken institutions 
"move fast and break things” could have been coined for this bunch. It is an 
ethos in which failure is just seen as success by 
other means. So he will not sack him. At least not until beyond the election.   

From a strictly political position dont believe those who say that it changes 
nothing. Here are the main points..

To begin with Labor were able to conclude their annual conference on a high. 
There was real swagger in Corbyn’s speech enabling 
him to focus on attacking Johnson and diverting public attention away from a 
tricky start and internal divisions. Labor were looking at a  
difficult final day or two but now they avoiding thoes banana skins and return 
to Westminster with a “spring in their step”. 
Importantly the fact that the verdict of the judges was unanimous means that 
the government know that they are unlikely to be 
successful if they try other tricks or try to Prorogue again. And their bluf 
about defying the lae to short circuit the bill designed to 
force Johnson to ask for the extension is rendered far less likely
Finaly the fact that Parliament is in session will enable MPs who are  legal 
eagles to amend the legislation to make sure its watertight. 
as some people are worried that it was hastily drafted and might have some loop 
holes. This is vital as the only chance (and its still a long 
shot) of defeating Johnson is to force him to fail to get the UK out by the 
October deadline. Making him fail is essential to the hopes of the 
Remain resistance. 

Once the election kicks off (mid November is my guess) the question is whether 
Labor’s postion of *we’ll do a gentler version of 
May’s deal* and then put it back to the people to decide on the new deal or 
Remain…. is too complex for the age of hyper-polarisation, 
micro-targeting and sound bites.. where Cummings and co excel. 

But people continually underestimate Corbyn’s qualities as a campaigner he is 
much better on the “stump” than in interviews and his 
current rif of being the adult in the room (which he is) may yet cut through. 
There is also a strong chance that Johnson will wilt under scrutiny. 
Under the relentless heat of an election campaign there is a strong possibility 
that people will realise that he is.. well quite rubbish..

Lets also remember the ‘Momentum” factor. I was at the The World Transformed 
event organised by Momentum in Brighton in the last few days 
and they are remarkable and adress one of the core issues of today’s radical 
politics. How can you combine the energy and autheticity of a movement 
with the need for party stuctures able to win and sustain power. We will 
shortly see whether Momentum still seem part of the answer to this question. 
But my
impresson at the event was that they are still an amazing  youthful energised 
grass roots base that you just can’t fake. 
The Tories keep trying but still cannot come close to matching them.  

In my oppinion Corbyn (aka Magic Grandpa) will ride again in November… here’s 
hoping.
