Edition-136 of Delicacies. As usual, max 5 articles that I found interesting and worth re-reading. Handpicked, no robots. Minimalism in curation. Enjoy!
- About a status quo with no illusion of ethics, morals, or humanity: maintaining this status quo is the core operating model of global management consultancies like McKinsey. By @jharche https://jarche.com/2019/02/extracting-human-value/
- Like the medium is the message, “platform-scale social technology is a political ideology in the conventional sense. Its nature dictates a particular political “grain” and it is hard, perhaps futile, to try to go against directly.” by @ribbonfarm https://mailchi.mp/ribbonfarm/politically-opinionated-platforms?e=951a16bd6f
- A New Science-Fiction Story About Surveillance in China. Technology is making people unhinged and violent. Can an algorithm stop them? https://medium.com/mit-technology-review/the-reunion-a-new-science-fiction-story-about-surveillance-in-china-903815ce2134
- Albert Wenger is done with privacy. As it cannot be solved technically, and not be enforces afterward, let’s just get rid of it. Controversial at least. https://continuations.com/post/182734896485/world-after-capital-getting-over-privacy-contd
- About the digital dark age becoming a reality when we mistake the internet as our reality. By @Mike_K_Spencer https://medium.com/futuresin/the-advent-of-the-digital-dark-age-446d35ee7643
