In which @ntnsndr, in conversation with David Bollier – https://overcast.fm/+YVzymNQfY – does that thing where someone points out a dynamic that should be obvious, but it needs that someone to point it out to you:

Namely, that the client-server model of online infrastructure is inherently antithetical to democratic governance.

In our online lives, “we are in some sense being trained out of the democratic practices that have been so essential to practices of political democracies”

I was listening this morning to one of @Eceni's always thought-provoking podcasts, this time on the Bristol Pound, and it reminded me of an essay I wrote:

"Money grows in society by the process of eroding generosity. It is, then, a necrotising parasite on social relationships, systematically sucking out transactions of kindness and generosity from the economy and replacing them with a winner-takes-all, zero sum game of competitive meanness.

Money is a disease."

Really useful episode of #AccidentalGods from @Eceni which is really helping with my thinking about localising food production. Recommended.

I'm wondering what bean I could most productively grow at field scale here in Scotland?

🧵I think one problem we in the rich world face, in fixing our societies, is that we have a problem of historical memory.

WW2 obscures the social history of our time and acts as a breach in memory.

The 1950s era in USA and Europe was not some kind of natural equilibrium that we can get back to by practising stability. It was a way for the powerful to make peace with the often revolutionary movements that had been building since at least the 1880s.
